    Honestly, it’s a pretty brilliant idea. It did what it was intended to do.

        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”

            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 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?

        Militia not backed by a state are classified as unlawful combatants.

          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…

            Hezbollah paramilitary targeted by ISF black ops spooks is the same in your mind as a UK Labor MP being assassinated?🙄
