It's just not fair, I tell you. Israel manufacturing pagers ordered by terrorists loaded with explosives is not fighting fair. They shouldn't have disguised the explosive. They should have warned the terrorists.
Volker Türk, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, claims that the pager attacks using Hezbollah electronics not only "violated international human rights law" but also appear to violate international humanitarian law’s key principles in carrying out attacks: "distinction between civilians and combatants, proportionality, and precautions."
As I said, Israel is not playing fair. They should have let Hezbollah blow up 3,700 Israelis to achieve the "proportionality" test of UN human rights law.
“Let me be clear — this method of warfare may be new and unfamiliar,” Türk said, “but international humanitarian and human rights law apply regardless and must be upheld.”
That international law never applies to terrorists is self-evident. Israel's response to such nonsense? How do you say "buzz off" in Yiddish?
Lebanon’s Foreign Minister Abdallah Bouhabib accused Israel of terrorizing Lebanon's entire population at the Security Council meeting. “Look at the ugliness of what has happened in this picture," said Bouhaib. He was holding a photo of a mangled hand. Since the overwhelming majority of the pagers were handed out to Hezbollah terrorists, it's a shame the other hand couldn't have been blown off too.
Bouhabib insisted that Israel not only launched the attacks but told the council there were “official declarations” and a tweet by an adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “that was lately deleted, emphasizing the responsibility of Israel and praising the positive results of this assault.”
He appeared to be referring to a deleted tweet by Netanyahu adviser Topaz Luke,

Volker can go pound sand.
only a world class moron would say that a terrorist cannot be terrorized by their intended victims at every opportunity. “never let your karma be run over by your dogma. it’s messy and it just makes you look stupid” applies.
But murdering Jews in mass and in every way possible is okay? The UN has to go.
So?
Having UN employees participating in war crimes(Oct 7) might be a war crime.
Why would people opt for pagers and walkie talkies over cell phones?
This is a rhetorical question, btw.
Maybe the UN should consider killing 1,139 innocent people on 10/7 was a War Crime.

Someone get this little bitch a tissue and take him to the fainting couch.
The blowing up page thing is outrageous! Outrageously funny!
“Not fighting fair you say? But Oct 7th kidnapping, raping , murdering young people, babies, etc is? UN is scum.

59 years old, Austrian. What did his father do during WW2?
Bad week for haters of Israel. Lots of pearl clutching.
Pagers purchased by hezbollah.
Distributed by hezbollah with assigned phone numbers to persons to be able to be contacted by hezbollah.
All those assigned these pagers were hezbollah affiliated.
Why/how is that indiscriminate?
“Lots of folks with no connection to Hezbollah had a pager.”
Lots=handful. Why would any significant number of non-Hezbollah “folks” possess pagers ordered for and distributed to Hezbollah combatants? These pagers were used for military communications. Does the U.S. military hand out secure radios to random citizens?
Cite your socialist or shia muslim source for that BS. Or perhaps you just pulled it outta your ass.
Hezbollah both purchased and distributed the pagers. The general populace had no access to them.
“Let me be clear — this method of warfare may be new and unfamiliar,” Türk said, “but international humanitarian and human rights law apply regardless and must be upheld.”
Dear Volker,
Go Türk yourself.
Sincerely,
Israel
