We’ve recently read some heartwarming stories concerning terrorists in Lebanon being separated from their mortal coils as they were blown up by their own pagers. Israel had no comment other than (I'm guessing) Mossad agents giving each other high-fives for a job well done.

I'm not sure who had exploding pagers on their Bingo cards for 2024, but why not? As Bonchie reported earlier:
In one of the most unbelievable developments of 2024, Israel somehow hacked into the pagers and cell phones of Hezbollah fighters and caused them to explode. News of hundreds of injuries, including dismemberments broke on Tuesday morning. Shortly after, videos of devices blowing up began to circulate.
Israel can’t admit to blowing up terrorists using pagers, but everyone knows it wasn’t lithium batteries that just all-of-sudden blew up at the same time. It was carried out by a nation-state intent on ending bad guys. If they weren't ended, they at least lost the use of some appendages. Technology has been used to great effect, eliminating terrorists or terror infrastructure. In 2021, Operation Olympic Games destroyed a cluster of Iranian centrifuges used, no doubt, to forward Iran’s nuclear bomb program. It was a cyber bug planted by Israel and the U.S. Other terror plots were foiled, not by sophisticated logic bombs or technology but by just dumb luck – and I mean dumb. As in, terrorists can be really dumb.
Eight years ago, Sevdet Ramadan Besim decided he was going stuff the pouches of kangaroos with explosives, then paint them in Islamic State colors. Apparently he thought the 'roos would just sit there compliantly. He intended to set them loose on the streets of Melbourne. No, seriously, Besim thought that he could corral kangaroos and maybe convince them to jihad themselves for the “cause.” He got caught before any kangaroo could beat him senseless and disembowel him. But my favorite feel-good dumb terrorist story happened 12 years ago in Bangkok, Thailand.
Three Iranian nationals were plotting an attack on Israeli diplomats using “sticky bombs.” The botched plot started botching when the rented apartment of three inept terrorists went...“boom!”
In March 2012, the Bangkok neighborhood shook when the apartment exploded, and three bloodied men staggered out of the building. The terrorists (who I will code-name Manny Moe and Curly) went in different directions. Saied Morad (code-name Curly because his hair was likely curled from the blast) was a 28-year-old Iranian [former] soldier. Curly was bleeding from his ears to his feet. He was carrying what witnesses described as a backpack and two black boxes. The black boxes were devices with green wires sticking out of them. Bloody Curly tried to hail a cab. The cab driver, seeing a bloody man who was perhaps still smoking from the apartment blast, refused to stop for Curly’s hail. In response, Curly tossed a bomb at the cabbie. Kaboom!
Curly had one bomb left. As the police closed in, he tried to toss his last bomb at the cops. Fortunately, his sticky bomb got stuck on something, and it boomeranged back at Curly and blew up, with the blast removing Curly’s legs from the rest of his body. It also removed his right eye. The police arrested what was left of Curly. Unfortunately for Curly, he didn’t get his 72 virgins on that fateful day. He survived. Curly appeared in court missing his legs and right eyeball, but he was still able to raise a defiant fist in the air. His defense was classic: “I had no idea where the bombs came from." He was shocked, shocked to find bombs in the cupboard. Curly claimed he had opened the kitchen cabinet and instead of falafels, he found...bombs. RUN! he told Manny and Moe. Curly took the brunt of the bomb blast. Unlike Curly's legs, his defense didn't fly. He was convicted and sentenced to 28 years in prison. Manny and Moe were also arrested and sent to prison.
The story of Manny Moe and Curly doesn’t have a completely feel-good happy ending. All three were repatriated - sent back to Iran in exchange for an Australian woman who Iran had managed to nab and arrest on trumped-up charges.
One hopes that Israel continues to “allegedly” blow up terrorists using the terrorists’ own pagers. One hopes that Iran continues to send dumb terrorists out into the wild, only to manage to blow themselves up or manage, as was the case for Curly, to separate himself from his legs and eyeball.
You know, I gave you the opportunity to see if you cared enough about Jim Robinson and his site to remove a threat, whether you consider it a joke or not. Clearly you don’t.
We be speaking Japanese if not for collateral damage.
Don’t you have a mosque to get to, or a rug to beat?
Quit threatening people. Get lost. Now.
I will keep replying to you in the coming days. I am not like other Freepers. You have the opportunity...the door (symbolically) is over there...
Was my joke a joke or a threat? This is an anonymous web site. WTH is this guys problemo?
Click here to read about the sympathy shown to members of hezbollah and those standing near them.
Since you didn’t care enough to contact the mods about that joke I posted, why should I?
Just wow. Now you're making stuff up. What threat are you referring to? Which people were threatened?
Who are you to tell anyone to get lost?
Who are you to direct that I get lost now or at any time?
He’s a Palestinian (or sympathizer of same high on liberal leftist media propaganda) who is upset about the awesome, stunning, smashing blow against hezbollah which has repeatedly threatened Israel with annihilation. He can’t present a decent argument to support his position and has resorted to ad hominem attacks. Inbreeding also causes that sort of mental attitude (literally).
Did you forget the private threat you made?
I did.
I remind you that posting threats online is a Federal crime. Jim and the good folks here at Free Republic do not deserve such actions from you or anyone else.
Stop right there. Go back and read any private reply you have. I haven't sent you anything.
The post is still there. I will check in the AM to see if it is pulled. I say 50/50 it is not pulled.
Here, this will also comfort you as you go to sleep tonight:
Click here for awesome video of proper response to Israel's brilliant message to hezbollah.
You lie!
Mocking a prayer rug is disrespectful. Any other religion you care to mock while you're at it?
What I find amazing is that I post that detonating explosives without confirming the target or that innocents will not be injured and strangers come out of the woodwork to attack me.
One individual cites a justification for collateral risk that's identical to what Mr. Fauxi used to to justify forcing an experimental treatment on unwilling individuals, and I'm the bad guy?
...and this is on Free Republic, hosted to gather independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web to champion causes which further conservatism in America.
Hiroshima. Nagasaki. Fat Man. Little Boy. Sometimes collateral damage is necessary for the sake of America and the world.

It is easy not to be concerned if innocent civilians we don’t personally know are killed. Perhaps this is the beginning of WW3. How will we feel if our Grandsons are drafted as a result of this?....when it personally affects us?
One third of the population of Lebanon is Christian....they are not Hezbollah. What are they to do? Shouldn’t we as Christians be praying and caring for what happens to them? or...just coldly consider them as nothing but collateral damage.
Do you work for the Daily Wire?
Ben, is that you?
You said....”Mocking a prayer rug is disrespectful.”....
Not in the least. It’s a rug for crying out loud.
