The sound of many of them exploding

    The media condemned political violence against Trump in unison one month ago.

    Israel commits one of the biggest terrorist attacks against a Lebanese political organization in history and the media claps.

      My concern twofold

      A: Without evidence I have a hard time seeing planting bombs in devices was solely targeted at fighters. Odds are an entire shipment was targeted and many people who weren’t Hezbollah received bombs

      B: Blowing up devices that were by definition carried everywhere certainly killed families and associates who didn’t deserve to die.

      During the Iraqi war we considered Iraqi leadership targets and I wouldn’t have been surprised if they considered our leadership targets as well. If they had in fact only killed Hezbollah I would have no problem with the attack.

        In Iraq every Iraqi civilian was considered a valid target.

          The definition of “enemy combatant” was “anyone within the blast radius of a US strike”. I kid you not.

      And they whined about a fucking bus exploding.

      About some pipe rockets killing a random bloke or two.

      And this

      against a Lebanese political organization

      appears to be wrong since their attack wasn’t at all this targeted. It’s a mass terror campaign against whole Lebanese population in order to saturate its attention and reduce morale before an invasion.

      We all got complacent relying on big nations with big militaries for punishing such behavior, and they are all in bed with the criminal.

      Despite this not being Hezbollah’s best moment, I think they and similar guerrillas are the exact kind of people we should learn from for solutions to Israel and the rest of the problem.
