    If you’re sympathizing or even in direct contact & planning with a terrorist organization, then you’re part of the terrorists, and with that, a target. You’re just one of the many unthinking “Israel bad” people here. There’s much to criticize about Israel, this ain’t it. Unless you’re a Hezbollah sympathizer of course, in which case, see my first sentence.

    And no, the US being unable to gauge the effectiveness does not indicate a war crime. That’s just ridiculous mental gymnastics, which don’t even make the slightest bit of sense.

      So is it good that some children were killed? Were there terrorists/part of the terrorist organization? Were the random people standing in line at the grocery store terrorists? Even if the Israeli government knew for a FACT that only Hezbollah members were in possession of the pagers, detonating them in public places would still be an act of terror. Even if they knew for a fact that none of the pagers were in public, this would still be a war crime.

        How did you even manage to get to this moronic conclusion? You wanted Israel to cause less collateral damage, this is less collateral damage. Yet you’re still crying about it. Unlike some of what you people believe, they don’t have magical space lasers to pin point kill just the terrorists.

          I expect Israel to not commit acts of terror and war crimes. It would be an act of terror no matter what country did it. But sure, I guess an acceptable number of children were killed. You know, there are easier ways to tell everyone that you think genocide is chill.

            Alright… Now we went from two dead kids and thousands of wounded terrorists to literal genocide. Maybe stop swallowing the bullshit propaganda.

              So what are they doing in general when they kill people of a certain ethnicity.

          Even if they did they would just raze the found with them.

            Thanks for proving my point about you all just blindly hating on the dumbass zionists instead of finding some nuance in your world.

      A yes because a relative or wife or kids are all part of the problem right?
