Can we call Israel, the terrorist state of Israel now?
- Always have been. israel is formed on stolen Palestinian land by terrorism action.
  
  ... that phrase "formed on stolen land" ... to who reminds me that again?
- Way ahead of you!
This most certainly is not "World News". This is a self-promoting opinion piece bordering on conspiracy theory.
To me, this attack has the master’s prints all over it — the USA had to be involved.
Edit: I really don’t understand how this article is still up. This is written as a theory of how explosive material could have been inserted into pagers. I find the piece compelling and of interest but it is not news - it’s speculation. Is it now okay to post recipes from around the world in worldnews?
- This article is an analysis of a recent global event, speculation of the probable cause, and some discussion of the broader implications. It makes perfect sense to be in world news.
  You seem to have had a strong emotional reaction to the suggestion that the US might have helped Israel carry out a particular ttack on another country. We're you aware that this happens literally every day?
  
  Speculation from some random on the internet is not world news.
  I have a strong opinion about people promoting their own speculation blog in a forum where that does not belong.
- Isn't it world news that "Israel" attacked Lebanon twice with compromised pagers, or do articles have to come from state-approved sources to be considered news?
  This is a self-promoting opinion piece boring on conspiracy theory.
  What makes you say "conspiracy theory" exactly?
  
  You’re not a journalist and speculation is not news. You’re a basement dweller with no first hand account of anything.
  There are appropriate places for your work. This is not the place.
- Well they most certainly didn't use a separate RF transmitter. The pagers are connected and can be remote controlled that way. I heard elsewhere they also triggered the explosives by heating up the battery.
- It's "America bad" so it's ok
  
  Bet on America being evil and doing every evil thing and you'll be right 99% of the time.
