  • Well then, if I would tell you I" hope you don't get a cut on your tongue from all the boots you lick" how would you interpret that? As its the same type of gist.

  • No, he said exactly what he meant.

    The logic Zionists employ: Palestinian = terrorist. Because Hasan said "I'm pro Palestinian" the other dude called him a terrorist and said harm should come to him using the phrasing "I hope your pager does not explode". Because of the Hamas pagers recently being blown up by Mossad and Mehdi is pro Palestinian so a terrorist and would have a pager of a terrorist organisation.

    CNN and everyone at the table rightfully reacted the way they did.

  • I have no clue how people use reddit anymore. If I open the app I am greeted with an unrecognisable mess of stuff I never asked for. Sorting is fucked, my frontpage contains stuff I don't care for and everything seems to be yelling at me for attention causing me to close the app again.

  • That's fair!

    I think International law does not disagree, it might be something that can be litigated. The pagers where specifically for hezbollah members, not civilians. I'll expect "boobytraps and civilians" to be a losing argument, time will tell.

    And, a terrorist organisation that takes over a region, intertwines itself with civil society to get legitimacy while at the same time sabotaging the countries government with threats of terror.. is still a terrorist organisation. And anyone working for them a terrorist. I.e. Someone doing the bookkeeping for a terrorist group is still a terrorist.

    Hezbollah started in direct resistance to Israeli occupation of Lebanon, I wonder what would have happened if they had not continued Post occupation or at least not shot at Israel and allowed for the Lebanese government to try and work with Israël on a peaceful border and other things that stood between the countries and their peoples.

  • The settler colonial project of Israel is filled with rabid fascists, I agree whole heartedly. The current government of Israel is peak of that performance.

    But trying to paint this as a boobytrap, and targeting civilians. I don't think anyone buys that for a minute.

    And this was hardly indiscriminate. It was pagers that where handed directly to Hezbollah and distributed by Hezbollah through their network. It's not as if these where sold by shops in Lebanon to normal Lebanese.

    And collateral sucks, but this still had less than the bomb that was dropped on the appartment complex with the command bunker under it filled with Hezbollah staff.

  • I hope a Kamala win results in a boot on the neck of the fascists that have propped up Trump.. but they will probably do nothing. And let is fester.

  • A supply chain of a terrorist organisations was infiltrated and they where sold devices fitted with explosives and then distributed it within their organisation.

    Everyone with a pager (and later also other devices) fell within the Hezbollah hierachy. The fact Hezbollah has infiltrated every level of society and has Docters and many others in their ranks does not make them invalid targets.

    Besides, judging from the videos, we saw people standing next to whoever had the pager where mostly fine. The children dieing is horrible.

    So calling it indiscriminate is more than a stretch. And the collateral damage is wayyyyy lower than with the rest of how Israël behaves.

  • I can imagine that during a time of war they want to get this law out the door and crack down on the Russian Orthodox church, as broadly as possible.

    Hopefully the "overly broad" of the law is at least discussed and possibly adressed once Ukraine is in a better place.

    HRW does their "job" of criticizing potentially right infringing laws..

  • Right? I worry for the US.. and the rest of the world. A lot.

  • It's seems a lot of Sci-Fi is a warning.

  • Right? In the correct setting and with a lot of jokes on the environment in the set leading up to it.. he might have gotten away with it. But at a fascist rally in MSG he was just vocalizing the sentiment in the room, like court jesters would do.

    Now the trump team can climb on their podium and cry how everyone is a snowflake and point at this outrage to invigorate their base.

    I guess they underestimated the backlash.

  • I doubt you can vote from st. petersburg

  • Blessing someone or praying for them is not idolizing them you know. Religion is stupid anyway.

  • I hope the return down vote people just start collecting view count and upvotes too. Then we can at least keep that.

  • Good that they banned him. Wishing someone that has a conversation with you but does not agree with you this kind of harm means you need to be excluded from the discourse.

  • Indiscriminate it was not. It was hyper targeted at everyone in the command chain that got a beeper. It's not as if they sold them through normal stores to the general population.
