    Honestly, the real question to me is how many innocent people were maimed, injured, or killed in this attack.

    Quite a bit fewer than 0.1% of the individual detonations appear to have harmed anyone except the Hezbollah operative assigned to the pager, so this doesn’t actually appear to be a question. The attack was extremely discriminate and targeted.

    but if they’re in a cafe they’re not the only ones getting hurt.

    In every case in which one of these went off in a cafe, the intended target was the only one hurt.

    That’s the true crime, the potentially disproportionate massacre of innocent civilians.

    But that isn’t what happened. The opposite happened.

            A collateral civilian death during a military action has never been considered “murder.” It can’t be, since it’s unintentional.

              There has been quite a lot of collateral civilian casualties, how many more people must die and how many more people must suffer under poverty in the name of the great American empire?

                None, if Israel’s enemies surrender and end the war. That’s how war works.

                  Do you genuinely think thats how the world work? Not Israel nor the Israeli people will ever know peace as long as Israel exists as an extension of the American Empire. If all of Israels enemies surrender then the American Empire will simply create new enemies for them to fight in their perpetual endless war.

                    We’ll know peace because everyone like you, everyone who won’t accept a Jewish state in the Middle East, will fight until you die. And you’ll lose.

                    Peace comes at the end of war.
