Don’t confuse targeting with who gets hurt at the end. It’s generally not allowed under international law to target civilians. Civilians getting killed when military objectives are targeted are legal. Proportionally and necessity come into play here.

It can be legal under international law to kill a combatant in his family home together with his whole family, if that prevents a planned attack that would kill another family for example. The target is the combatants not his family.

Good numbers are hard to come by. However Hezbollah themselves say that their fighters were targeted and reported 3000 exploding pagers. A low number of around a dozen others were injured or killed as well. That’s a ratio of less than 1 civilian per 100 combatants hit. Compare that go Gaza, which has about 2 to 3 civilians per combatant killed.

Why? Because Apple has abandoned good user interfaces for the Mac a while ago. Look no further than the Photos app, share menu, abomination systems settings has become, invisible scroll bars.

Has been mine since Mac OS X 10.2. It was one of the reasons I switched to a Mac in the first place.

Same. I always wait for the first point update to hit before upgrading.

Running iOS betas on test devices is enough pain for me.

I hope never BRICS is a joke club. India and China hate each others guts. China and Russia are only allies of convenience. South Africa and Brazil are trying to get more international clout. The economic and other cooperation between BRICS countries is less than between individual BRICS countries and western countries.

My impression is most Palestinians also feel they belong to the larger Arab community. Arab is a pretty broad umbrella though.

Most Jordanians are Arab, many of them identify as Palestinian, but there are also other minorities.

Hezbollah handed out these pagers to their combatants a few days before they exploded. Some were even still in their packaging.

Uploading a virus to the minds of Hezbollah terrorists?

The rocket attacks were justified by pointing to the Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon in 1978.

The rocket attacks on Israel today are a couple of decades too late to use this justification.

The reason for the Israeli invasion into Lebanon was a series of attacks by organized militants on Israel from Lebanese territory.

Sinn Féin Funded by the US? I would like a source for that.

Hezbollah had handed out these pagers only a few days before they exploded. Some were even inside their original packaging still.

Bashing Germany is always a crowd pleaser in Poland.

Not really. There are plenty of Palestinians living in Jordan without Jordanian citizenship.

They don’t need to have been sovereign before to be able to exercise self-determination.

Palestinians don’t have a claim to the State of Israel. They have a right to form their own political entity.

Of course! People suck dildos for fun.

There’s research that confirms an increase in loneliness and less sex among people. That’s not a sign of a health society.

Israel is the legal successor state to the British Mandate for Palestine as it was the only state established within its borders. That gives Israel a legal claim under international law to the whole territory.

Palestinians have a claim to the land because the population has lived in the land for a long time and can establish a state under the right to self determination.

These are competing claims.
