      Ironically if they do capture and interrogate one ‘terrorist’ who was a childhood friend of theirs, all they will talk about is mosques and ancient Islamic antisemitism.

        You must have limited retrospective abilities, because sure as hell, the ideas from your childhood guided your life.

          My point is that children lack the understanding of what caused this. It’s the reaction of the adults / role models in their life that will radicalise them.

      It is the biggest “problem” of modern warfare. We don’t fight wars of conquest anymore because that tends to actually make other countries care (because those brown people have resources!). So we attack and then leave.

      It is similar to why France and England (or China/Japan/Korea) were basically at continuous levels of war for hundreds (?) of years. Because when you roll up and kill a bunch of people and maybe steal a goat? The remaining people want revenge. When you conquer them and either ethnically cleanse them to nonexistence or integrate them into your society? They forget why they were angry after a generation or two.

      I very much do NOT believe the world would be a better place with more ethnic cleansing and stealing of land. But we also are in a mess where retaliation between countries just continues with no real consequences to the people who are calling for the attacks. And the civilians just get rightfully angry when their kid is permanently blinded because she was looking the wrong way at the Lebanese equivalent of a Kroger.

      And then you get the keyboard warriors who hop in decades (or even centuries) into the conflict, pick a side, and immediately say THESE terrorists are good guys and THOSE terrorists are bad guys.

    You know whats even scarier? Out of the thousands of devices produced I bet none of them have gone through proper quality control and testing (because it requires documentation, which kind of goes against the whole “covert” thing), which means the failure rates are probably through the roof. This means that there are most likely dozens of unexploded devices still around filled with plastique. This means 2 things, 1st you essentially gave away military grade explosives to uncontrolled civilians which can be harnessed and reused for other malicious purposes, and 2nd if a media illiterate civilian doesn’t know to chuck their device in a tar pit, they will continue to walk around with an unexploded bomb strapped to their leg for a long time.

    All in all, whoever came up with this Idea, should be gunned down in the streets like a dog. Or at least be prosecuted for every confirmed civilian death.

      The Israelis are the world’s largest terrorists and the world’s largest cause of terrorism. I have had many ‘debates’ with zionists before getting permabanned off reddit who actually tried to frame Israel as a stabilizing force in the region where all the whining infantile Arabs can blame all their problems on (which they don’t and never did BTW) instead of tearing each other apart for land and on religious grounds (also bullshit).

      I simply pointed out how absurd their beliefs are and how utterly baseless. As you would expect, they constantly shifted the goal posts in ways that revealed the sheer depth of ignorance that they had about anything.

        I’ll agree with that only because the US cops aren’t using their military hardware yet. Give them time and they will start giving Israel pointers.

          Kill, injure and seriously disrupt the communication of Hezbollah, no matter the consequences or civilian casualties. At least this time there was a tiny bit of military assassination type logic to it, and they weren’t just blatantly shooting civilians and bombing hospitals as they usually do, but they just had to trigger it during rush hour because of course they did.

            Hezbollah is a legitimately elected party in Lebanon’s parliament. If this had been done by an Arab nation to a Western nation, it would be the end of the fucking world. October 7 all over again. Horrific terrorism.

            But seriously, Imagine all of the members of the UK labor party being injured or killed by a coordinated attack like this. Do you think people would be talking about how cool it was then?

            When Israel does it? “Self defense”

              Hezbollah is a legitimately elected party in Lebanon’s parliament

              “… and paramilitary group,[44][45] led since 1992 by its Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah. Hezbollah’s paramilitary wing is the Jihad Council,[46] and its political wing is the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc party in the Lebanese Parliament. Its armed strength was assessed to be equivalent to that of a medium-sized army in 2016.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah

              What’s the armed strength of the UK labour party, just curious?

              Oct 7th and Sept 11th all over again.

              And hezbollah is a fuckload more restrained in how they target Israel with rockets than how Israel bombs Lebanon.

            Hezbollah are a political party with a non-insignificant number of elected seats in Lebanon’s parliament.

            This is like targeting every UK Labor MP, and successfully assassinating several of them. Wonder if people would be talking about how cool it was then…
