          Because Arab lives have no value in Israeli western society.

          FTFY.

          To be fair, Jewish lives also only matters to the west if they are busy murdering brown people.

            It depends on the Western country - some are much worse than others when it comes to the whole practice of defining people’s worth mainly from their race.

            Some Western nations (maybe most of them in Europe) do tend to see value in all human live, Arab or otherwise, but many to indeed see no value in Arab life.

            If I was to point a finger at the worst in Europe I would say Britain, Hungary, Austria and Germany.

      Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims.

      While it’s likely there were civilians hurt by this, the target was undeniably Hesbollah. So no, not terrorism.

        Israel is a terrorist organization. Radical, fundamentalist Jewish terrorism.

          National order isnt based on tit for tat. If someone commits a war crime against you it doesnt mean you get to do it too.

          In my opinion the time of day they chose to blow them shows they wanted as much collateral damage as they could.

          What’s the advantage of making excuses for committing war crimes?

            Is there any time of day it’s not atrocious? Seems like any time would have basically equal risk for collateral casualties.

            To be effective it all had to be at once. It seems that they waited until the pagers were being used to coordinate a fresh wave of rocket attacks with promises of more to come before setting them off.

              Then maybe it shouldn’t be done at all.

                Maybe all an army has to do to take over the entire world is bring their families to the front. Can’t shoot back at them because their families are there. So they pretty much win every engagement. Problem solved. No more wars.

                    I wasn’t trying to say that at all. Wars are fought where they are fought. It’s up to whoever is in charge of the area to make sure they are evacuated.

                    The people in charge of the area in Gaza (Hamas) do the opposite, that’s why they are designated as a terrorist organization and not legitimate government, such as the taliban in Afghanistan.

                    An illegitimate, criminal organization, that so willfully disregard the public welfare and trust, has no right to fight anywhere.

                    Let’s dispel the bullshit idea that Hamas is fighting for the lives and rights of the Gazan people. If Hamas wants to have a state so bad, they should start by looking out for the interests of their own people instead of constantly leading them into worse suffering. Taking part in international terrorism and killing Jews is more important to the leadership of Gaza then is feeding their people and until it’s not Gaza is irredenta.

              Because that time of day is when the most people will be out in public. It seems deliberately designed to cause as much damage as widely as possible. Likely to cause fear in the population.

                They put explosives in the pagers but no shrapnel, so how does your conclusion make sense? If Israel wanted to simply cause mass damage, this would be a most incompetent way to do it.

                    Terrorism is illegitimate. Fear is only a small part of one definition of the term.

                    This was an attack by military on military. They were using the pagers to coordinate the rocket attacks against Israel that they e been launching lately.

            There you go conflating Jews and Israel. Apart from that you have an arguable point.
