      That particular pager was in a bag, against a person, pointed away from anyone or anything else. Not to mention anything of the second attack, which used much larger charges and started fires and blew out windows across Lebanon.

      And anyway, a single example isn’t going to assuage anyone who has been reading reports of women and children dying from the attack.

        They’re also ignoring the literal terror being experienced by civilians who witnessed people’s legs and faces being blown off in public.

        That’s terrorism.

        Where else would you carry a pager? You have to feel it when it vibrates.

        Not to mention anything of the second attack, which used much larger charges and started fires and blew out windows across Lebanon.

        Well, I’m sorry to hear that Lebanon’s glazers just got several months of guaranteed work, I guess, but I’m otherwise not sure why this is relevant.

        And anyway, a single example isn’t going to assuage anyone who has been reading reports of women and children dying from the attack.

        What reports?

      The mental gymnastics people will do to defend literal state sponsored terrorism.

      And don’t waste your time, I actually know what those words mean.

        Yes, it’s pretty shocking how people have come out in support of an Iranian-funded terrorist group that has killed women, children, and a hundred Americans
