      Can you confidently say you know the exact chain of custody of your cell phone?

      Some killer gets a pager he doesn’t need, sells it to someone to make some cash, who gives it to their kid. Annnnd boom.

        These weren’t devices connected to any network, these were connected to a network run by Hesbollah. There was no reason for a civilian to have one of these pagers.

        No. Can you? How does OP know this about 1000 civilians? Don’t get me wrong. Fuck the Israeli government and it’s indiscriminate murder, but also fuck the lies. Speak truth.

          Since you’re changing topics from “how could kids get pagers meant for someone else”…

          In war, everyone lies. But one thing I’ve found as an American is that, if you’re killing in another country, you’re probably the worse of the two.

      Hezbollah isn’t just a military organization. It’s a political party. The majority of those pagers were in civilian hands when they detonated.
