Just, FYI, and so that you can orient your position relative to sanity, even a former CIA director and US defense secretary says the pager attacks are not only not clever or amusing, but constitute a form of terrorism that, if normalized, with eventually threaten everyone, everywhere. Incredible that this has to be spelled out for some people, but the Israeli exception really does beggar normal moral and ethical standards. This is its main threat to world order, in fact.

It was clever and efficient. Pinpoint precision with very little collateral damage. You sound mad that your side is losing. Don't start wars you can't win.

Not clever ? They paid for the beepers that killed them.
The main threat to world order is russian bots.
It's can only be deemed clever if you're as depraved at they are. They considered all the potential places the holders of these pagers and walkie talkies might be when they detonated (i.e. close to children, standing in line in supermarkets, driving cars, etc, etc) and still thought it was worth it. You're undoubtably too stupid to know that Hezbollah has many civilian employees, including medical personnel, who use pagers, but the IDF is not.
This tactic is the very essence of terrorism, in that it's military strategic significance is basically nil and its psychological effect maximal-- i.e. civilian terror. I hope you'll keep your sense of humor when something like this inevitably happens in a place you frequent and to people you know and love.
Sane people know that the laws of war were not promulgated strictly out of concerns for others; they are based on mutual self-interest. For instance, if you are a US service member and the US condones torture, you can expect to be exposed to the threat of torture yourself if captured.
This is not a joke. All Panetta is saying is that if we don't condemn terrorism in all its forms we must be prepared to be terrorized ourselves. Is this the world any normal person wants to live in?

So I guess former CIA director Panetta is now "Hamas/Hezbollah" too, right? You morons are nothing if not consistent.
More than 3,000 people, including children, were killed or injured, many of them blinded. If this is "precision" then the targets were also civilians, which is a war crime regardless of the tactic used.

Try reading, moron. I said ITS, as in Israel's, main threat to world order. I'm aware that there are others, but I wouldn't pick sides between Israel and Russia in any case. You don't have to either.

I read you loud and clear, Israel has no threats to world order. The threat is russian bots constantly posting anti israel propaganda, comrad.

Anti Israel former CIAs are a dime a dozen. The targets are terrorists, small explosive, very little collateral damage.

Including those war crime trophy vids and photos on IG and Tic Toc-- you know, the ones posted by IDF soldiers for laughs back home?
The Lebanese Civil War (Arabic: الحرب الأهلية اللبنانية Al-Ḥarb al-Ahliyyah al-Libnāniyyah) was a multifaceted armed conflict that took place from 1975 to 1990. It resulted in an estimated 150,000 fatalities and led to the ex...

Very interesting. How about naming one, never mind a dozen, with proof of "anti-Israel" bona fides?
And so you now have to be "anti-Israel" to call out prima facie terrorism.
Just substitute any other entities on earth for Israel and Lebanon in the following sentence and see how it sounds: "(Blank) sabotages supply chain in order to plant explosive devices in thousands of consumer electronics bound for (blank)".
Under normal circumstances it would not matter who did this to whom and for what reason. People would instantly recognize it as terrorism. Even the worst conflicts have rules. But when it's Israel doing it to one of its enemy Arab societies, its instantly fine, even clever and sort of funny-- Ha ha, terrorist children died and people were blinded. We did it, but its always their fault.
Ask yourself, if there's no such thing as proportionality, why stop there? Why not just nuke everyone and solve "the problem". (Oh wait, some Israelis have already suggested this...).
Again, the Israeli exception: It will make the whole world a more depraved and dangerous place.
