Do many Christians carry pagers distributed by Hezbollah?
“Do many Christians carry pagers distributed by Hezbollah?”
I don’t know, do you? One out of three people in Lebanon are Christians, so even if they didn’t carry one they could have been injured.

The assumption is right there in the title: 'Heartwarming Tales of Terrorists Blowing Themselves Up' (emphasis mine)
Shape charge toward the hip.
So easy.
So... because others devalue life, you do to? Why stop there? Where do you draw the line? If you don't draw the line at innocents, why pretend you have a line at all?
Hamas-niks deserve, even their innocents, all the worst.
There it is. Your opinion that even their innocents "deserve" all the worst says a lot about you. That word innocent doesn't mean what you deem it to. Just come out and say it, "anyone I deem undesirable deserves all the worst."
You're known by the company you keep.
So, guilt by association. How communal of you. Imagine posting that on Free Republic, named in honor of a republic with the right of free association. Posting it on a site named in honor of a republic which sent it's sons to fight and die in a war in Europe to protect people who were told, "You must be guilty because you belong to that group. Here, wear this star. Get on that train."
It's also guilt by proximity, a tactic used by tyrannical regimes. You're guilty because you happen to be standing next to a criminal. Such respect for individual rights. Hope it's never used against you.
Most Recent stuff says it was 2 ounces of some type of explosive, plus they could set it off based on code being presently. Various scenarios for how these were made are on x.com, but i’ve seen a member of postings that it was a Taiwan firm that made these, or perhaps they were modifying Motorola pages, and apparently Israel (which has not admitted any of this) supposedly intercepted the shipment and modified the device. Another article said that the manufacturer in Taiwan somehow assisted. right now, I’m perfectly happy to go along with the exact same thing that Democrats say all the time, there’s no evidence right now that the Israelis are involved at all. I guess if you can stand it, you could watch that video that was posted in the elevator. I viewed it as simply a very fast fire.
Thanks.
Great article.
I think that is obtuse. Rationalization to justify blaming Israel for a war they didn’t start and which they are pursuing in accordance with the Geneva convention against avowed enemies who respect none of the Geneva convention standards.
Innocents die in war, in every war. It is inevitable. Blame the aggressors, those who started a war effort to support Hamas and who refused to respect the internationally mandated security zone. It is immoral to ignore the facts and apply disparate standards. The red flag of “Christians” is a strawman, attempting to createe afalse narrative that can be used to blame Israel.
[...blown up by their own pagers]
Pager: Beep Beep!
Terr: “Hey, I got a message, could be important!”
Pager: “Time to die.”
How ridiculous and besides the point. There is a war. Civilians die in war. It is normal, expected, accepted and has always been. That is why war is so terrible.
Hamas and Hezbollah brought war upon themselves and many innocents pay the price. It is not up to Israel to be slaughtered so no “innocents” will die. War is a dirty business but when one’s existence is under attack that dirty business cannot be shirked. Taking out the enemy, ending the war is the point of the exercise. The exploding pagers took a lot of the enemy out of the conflict.
Detonating explosives remotely among civilian populations without confirming the targets or nearby innocent civilians, for the sake of expediency, is unacceptable.
If it's so "acceptable" as you say, put it in writing - right there in the articles of war. "We declare war on any and every resident, including any and all innocent civilians."
But you were 100% wrong. Now do Hiroshima.
“Unlike Curly’s legs, his defense didn’t fly.”
😆🤕
Whose hip - if you can't confirm the intended target is wearing it?
Can you confirm the intended target is wearing it with the shaped charge facing the body? That he's not wearing it backwards and some innocent kid is standing next to him on line in a supermarket?
Your compassion for people in that neck of the woods is heartwarming. Especially since all of THEM want all of US DEAD.
“God Bless the Mossad.”
Amen. Discussed at our Bible Study tonight.
The term is called “telemetering.” Causing a device to function (malfunction) remotely. In order to have an explosion there has to be the inclusion of something ‘explosive’ in the design of the pager in the first place. That’s either gonna be the Lithium Ion battery which possibly could be put into an overheat mode (and burn up) or other material inserted on manufacture.
To me this means somebody got to a popular pager manufacturer (who still makes them?) that terrorists use and had something included in the manufacture. Seems a little incredible to me, frankly. Too much of a danger of someone innocent getting blown up.
“What a blast...”
💣
I’m not holding back and make no apologies...at all. My dad always said, be careful what you wish for. The Palestinians have been wishing for the death of the Jews for centuries with unbridled hate. Don’t try a guilt trip on me. Wrong person. Get lost.
