    That “even the girl was a daughter of a member of Hezbollah” part got me very angry.

    Kids don’t deserve to get blown up, even if their parents are mass murderers.

      I have never said that. What Israel is doing geopolitically is a grave mistake and would ultimately give birth to a lot more terrorists that they will kill ultimately and won’t lead to any long lasting peaceful solution in the region. And all this is happening with the silent endorsement of the West, which is even more disturbing.

        In this instance I’ll blame whoever planted a couple of thousand explosives on people all over the place and detonated them simultaneously without caring who was nearby.

        Imagine one of them was on a plane carrying your mother, or one was dropping off their kid at the school your kid goes to, or at the supermarket with you behind them in line.

          No one planted explosives all over the place in this scenario. We have videos of what happened, people standing nearby weren’t harmed.

              In pagers explicitly for receiving messages from a Hezbollah controlled network. About the only thing more direct would be putting more explosives in the rockets, but that would cause significantly more collateral damage.
