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.

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.

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.

“If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.”
The “UN Rights Jerk” can go suck on a douche bag.
Check your messages U.N. boy.

It would be appropriate if the Israelis decided to take him seriously and just blew him up, without explanation.
Hey, it would be in New York--so for sure it wouldn't be a war crime. It would be no big deal, happens all the time.
ANOTHER REASON ON THE LIST OF REASONS TO KICK THE UN OUT OF THE USA.
“I have always felt that the Geneva Convention is a dangerous piece
of stupidity, because it leads people to believe that war can be
civilized. It can’t.”

There should be a miniature version of him - a “mini him”
It’s never a war crime the first time...
Pretty sure this is a violation. It’s pretty indiscriminate. Lots of folks with no connection to Hezbollah had a pager.
UN officials should personally go into the streets of Hamas territory - unarmed and unescorted - and negotiate a worldwide peace treaty with Islamist radicals.
