    It’s quite dishonest to act like that it was only 2 dead kids and ignore the thousands of wounded and the other 10 dead people. Especially when a link you yourself showed people says so.

    Misinformation is not allowed in c/worldnews.

      I’m not acting like those were the only civilian casualties. It’s just what’s brought up all the time. ‘Thousands’ of civilians wounded seems very unlikely when there’s only <3.000 of these devices going off and the extent of the explosions visible from the leaked footage. Reeks of misinformation if you ask me

        This is from the link you provided.

        More than 3,500 people were injured.

        So now you’re saying we can’t trust the link you gave us?

          But it’s you that’s suggesting those injured are all civilians

          If not, how many of them are?

            Now your claim is that most or all of the 3500 injured were terrorists? Really?

              Well if they had around 3.000 pagers exploding…

              I’m kidding, of course!

              All 3.000 Hezbros (bar the 30 that died) must have already passed their secure one-way pagers handed to them by the Hezbollah leadership on to unsuspecting civilians. After all, who wouldn’t want to be carrying around a mysterious one-way pager that periodically shows you cryptic messages?? “Hello Nighthawk. Ze goats are riding ze bicycles. I repeat: ze goats are…” KABOOOM

                Got it. Shrapnel is not a thing that happens when there are explosions. Weird, I always thought it was a thing and that when you’re in a crowd and the bomb planted on you explodes, that shrapnel goes into all the people around you. But they were probably terrorists too, am I right? After all, they exist in Lebanon and I’m told that existing in Palestine makes one a terrorist and it’s right nearby.

                But the important thing here is that you found a way to make light of dead children and turn it all into a joke. That really makes you look good.

                  Are you now suggesting that the average Hezbro came off unharmed, and only the people in the vicinity were hurt?

                  Did you see any of the leaked videos? Did you see the remains of exploded devices?

                  I’ve got a mild feeling you’re just discarding all the information that’s available to you, instead clinging to some weird unsubstantiated hope that this mostly hit civilians

                    No. I am not suggesting that. And the only way you could possibly believe that is what I was suggesting is if you didn’t actually read my post.
