And you should read Popper’s Paradox of Tolerance.
Eye for an eye makes the world go blind only works when one party doesn’t exist solely to exterminate another.
That’s what Hezbollah is.
I have never defended genociders - you on the other hand keep defending Hezbollah.
The world needs to deal with Hezbollah the same way it needs to deal with Zionism and the same way it eventually dealt with the Nazis.
Tell me dumbass, do you think Netanyahu and co. will stop his campaign on Gaza if everyone decided not to retaliate? Or would he just order his men to take advantage of the situation and shoot them down? Do you think the Nazis or any other group, such as Hezbollah, intent on genocide would accept peace?
Of course ideally such corrupt evil fucks could be eliminated with no innocent casualties. But that’s unfortunately not the way the world works. Do you think innocent casualties didn’t occur when other fascist evils were fought? You think only military personnel were killed in WW2?
You’re either a naïve kid, or have thought up of miracle solution like a death note.
This was a case of monsters fighting monsters; we’re lucky that this at least was an actual very precise strike one monster did to the others, rather than their usual M.O. of just striking buildings with missiles.
You’re seriously saying “they deserve the ‘eye-for-an-eye’ treatment” while Israel is actively escalating the conflict?
I have never defended genociders
Oh okay. So where have I done that? In assuming that 3000 civilians who were harmed weren’t exclusively Hezbollah? Which would be an utterly ridiculous claim seeing how many literal children there are involved.
So… you’ve never defended genociders. Then let’s see if you will. Is Israel committing a genocide in Gaza?
You think only military personnel were killed in WW2?
I’ve actually been in the military and have had training on what is and isn’t legal to do in armed conflict. Have you?

Rule 12. Definition of Indiscriminate Attacks
Rule 12. Indiscriminate attacks are those: (a) which are not directed at a specific military objective;
(b) which employ a method or means of combat which cannot be directed at a specific military objective; or
© which employ a method or means of combat the effects of which cannot be limited as required by international humanitarian law; and consequently, in each such case, are of a nature to strike military objectives and civilians or civilian objects without distinction.
They limited the attacks by replacing the pagers ordered by Hezzbollah, not the pagers ordered by anyone.
Are you dense?
Perhaps you didn’t read the entire passage?
“Which cannot be limited as required by international humanitarian law”
Or perhaps you don’t know what those requirements are, because you don’t care?
These can’t. They had no way of limiting or even knowing where and whom the bombs would be around when they exploded.
You’re talking out of your ass. By sending bombs only in pagers marked for Hezzbollah, as opposed to pagers to be sold generally in Lebanon, they were limited as required.
You’re talking out of your ass.
pagers marked for Hamas
I’m not the one “talking out of my ass” so bad I get Hamas and Hezbollah confused.
I linked the international law. This attack breaks those laws.
“as required”
Aha, hmm, and what exactly are those requirements? (I know you’ve no idea, but I’ll settle for you even looking them up and reading them even for trying to still defend Israel, because that’ll still mean you’ll at least have read them)
You have no clue what you’re talking about. You’re a real life Dunning Kruger curve.
I learned International law in law school and in my profession of decades, not from Googling links and pretending to be an expert.
I’m not going to call you an anti-semite for these bullshit arguments you read online because I know it’s just that you’re ignorant, but the reason many people would is because you are applying a heightened standard of law to Israel but not anywhere else, you are holding Israel to a standard that you do not apply to Iran and the violent pan-Islamist nationalists that it backs on all sides of Israel, and are willing to defend it when pan-Islamists do mass shootings and mass kidnappings of civilians, which is their new thing, ever since suicide bombings became faux pas.
Sure you did, bubba, sure you did.
You’re not just random internet kid with a cringe username who gets Hezbollah and Hamas confused and kicks off a tantrum. Nope, youre definitely not that.
You’re an expert in international law!
You did just call me an antisemite. You implied it. I think you might have to look that word up as well, despite your extensive training in “law school”.
I’m holding Israel to international laws they’ve agreed on, as a member of the United Nations.
The the rest of your comment is more shitty whataboutism.
Projecting your own shit.
Naive kid.
