    Maybe, though if they’re not getting punished for the whole, y’know, genocide thing, I think they’re not going to get punished over weaponized pagers either.

      I don’t know by it might matter that Lebanon is an internationally recognized country in a way that Palestine isn’t.

        So their crimes are justified against civilians if they do it in a disputed territory? That’s what you’re implying.

          Holy bad faith interpretation of what I’m saying batman. I said nothing about justification. OP was talking about consequences. What I’m saying is that when it comes to international law, a sovereign UN member state might have better chances finding justice through international law mechanisms than an occupied territory. Not saying that’s right, only that it’s more likely.

      I just think that morally it means it’s okay to break international law against Israel.
