    PETN-ion batteries, such hot tech right now.

    They are even taking about using it in electric cars to vastly increase the (vertical) range they can do.

      It wasn’t the batteries, the pagers were powered using standard double AA batteries. It was implanted bombs.

          You physically can’t, unless you have a defective battery or you short the wiring, but that’s oblivious as soon as you insert the battery. Overheating a double a battery also won’t do much. Is it dangerous? Yes. But it won’t be a violent explosion.

    How do you make sure that 1000’s of pagers were only sold to terrorist and not just normal people that might use one, and how do you make sure that they haven’t changed hands in the last 5 months? It’s not like a pager is something only a terrorist would use.

      They didn’t bother. It’s called collaterals damage and they don’t think any outside of Israelis are full humans.

      It’s not about targeting “terrorists” it’s about targeting medical staff, and other innocent people. Pagers are very widely used by medical staff. Especially in the ER. Isn’treal has shown time and time again they specifically target medical and care staff. It’s like their snub at the world. They know that it is universally accepted that medical staff is not to be targeted in wars and conflicts by most all nations. It no difference when they target people from the UN, NATO, other allied forces, etc. it’s than declaring they will be as shitty and despicable as they want, that they don’t answer to anyway, and can get away with anything.

    In a vaccum, putting aside everything else that Isreal has done, this should be grounds for a complete embargo of Isreal. Why should any country trust a rogue nation that puts bombs in products that arr circulated throughout the civilian population?

      Jokingly a kinda serious, sad answer - because de facto colonies can’t just freely decide stuff like this without consequences. And other superpowers like China just don’t yet get targeted that significantly to outweigh the commercial benefits of overall trades.

    They’re not made by Motorola (which is Chinese). They were made by Gold Apollo (which is Taiwanese).

    This was a really hard lesson for Hezbollah to learn to always buy shit from certified anti-imperialist sources and not from fake China. China should airlift Huawei devices to Hezbollah to replace them.

    On the other hand, the Axis of Resistance has never had a better excuse to annihilate Israel in response.

      Sorry not sorry I will say they can get real bombs over. As I understand, hypersonics just mimic the noise from the bomb, please do correct me. If that’s the case, I am not embarrassed to say, since we’ve come to this, maybe it’s time “Israel” tastes its own meal of death and despair. I will never ever understand what the fuck is wrong with that nation, how do one entire group of people becomes a collective monster.

      I mean, I don’t want people to die, but Israelis really don’t give a fuck about anyone, why should I have sympathy for them? We all have our limits and mine are crossed long time ago. I’m embarrassed to feel this way, but I want them to pay the same way they’ve destroyed thousands of lives of the people who own the land they’re on.

        Hell, I’ll just say it outright- I do (though this is no statement of intent whatsoever).

        Genocidaires should die. Imperialists should die. Those who gleefully engage in war crimes of the highest order should die. No questions asked; if they get better perhaps they can be spared (though that should be entirely up to the mercy or lack thereof of the victims or the judgement of the world at large IMO- and even then it is a matter of whether sparing them, taking the time and resources to rehabilitate them and keep watch over them is a risk that can be afforded). But getting better is to be done on their own initiative, if time and humanity happens to move past them (if the consequences of their actions catch up to them before they have made such a change) then whatever happens, happens- no tears shed, no spilt milk, nothing of value lost.

          If they wanted to be better, they would have left a long time ago and left the keys for the homes they stole for the indigenous peoples to come back. Nearly every westerner and definitely nearly every single zionists does not feel a tinge of empathy for brown people dying. Anecdotal, but I had an isntraeli coworker and his eyes would light up like a kid on Christmas when talking about the Iraq War. He was soooo happy that all those brown people died.

          Well… You’re right. But unfortunately, the only way they’re gone is to kill them in a bloody revolution and honestly, I am sick and tired of murdering on this planet. If someone could invent a virus that could off all the mentioned, that would be awesome. If we kill them, we’ll be like them. That’s why I hate them so, so much. They make me think violent thoughts and I don’t fucking like that. It’s spoiling my soul. But what to wish to all these bastards but death? That’s what I’m saying, they so don’t care about anyone and anything but themselves that when something like this happens, the only reasonable is to wish them the same.

            I completely understand your sentiment. You don’t want to become like them. These people are starting manifest destiny 2.0 and have to be stopped however. The ethnic cleansing of this hemisphere happened over a very long time, people tend to overlook that. If it could have been nipped in the bud, so much misery would have been avoided.

            Edit: Hypersonics are called that because they travel at very high multiples of the speed of sound. It does not have to do with acoustics. The speed enables the missile to bypass air defenses. This one was Mach 11 or 12 or something crazy like that and has a 650kg warhead. It did damage likely that the zios hid.

    There’s a mission in the video game Star Wars: The Old Republic in which an Imperial character can place explosives inside handheld communicators being used by resistance fighters – following through with the plan gives you lots of Dark Side morality points.

    You know, the ramifications of this are gonna be intense. Imagine the reality setting in for corporations worldwide that Israel could just be strapping lethal weapons; openly and brazenly, by the way, not like they’re trying to hide this at all like some Five Eyes/NSA shit; to any devices passing through chains they have influence in. Even if you’re the most West-gargling corporation or entity; this is the kinda shit that makes you go “huh”.

    This is just…depraved.

      This is what triggers WW3. We need to respond to Israel’s flagrant disregard of human life with force or this type of shit continues.

      Considering Tel Aviv isn’t actually at war with Lebanon this is just an act of genuine insanity. They just created a whole new generation of adversaries by dragging in so many civillians.

  • So this is an act of war right? Like I know that this has been a war… but like I am just keeping counts of acts of war and Declaration of War by actions being done… and like this is one …

      • It is … and no one did… because we are checks notes in the worst timeline… I mean my only question is at what point does what Isn’treal doing not just become so moraly reprehisable (we are well past that) but a nusence enough to atleast the neighbors not bought and payed for by the US that a regional war actualy breaks out… at what point does Iran and Lebenon ect. decide that the risk of US involvement is less than letting the babby have a gun

        They’re weighing their options. Its blatantly obvious that Israel is baiting a war with Lebanon so that they can call the US in for direct assistance, which will lead to a protracted and costly war for Lebanon. The silence is deafening however, and Lebanon will need to respond somehow.

    For reference, due to the inefficiency of cellphones and computers, especially near extremely sensitive equipment and in hospitals with many floors that block wifi signals, pagers are the standard communication devices in hospitals.

    I have no doubt that hundreds of the casualties reported were nurses, doctors, and EMTs.

    If any nation sold thousands of handheld bombs to hospitals and civilians in the US, Congress would mobilize the nation for war before the end of the day.

    I don’t know about you, but I am in a fucking shock. After one year of Gaza a person would think it can’t go any further than Gaza. Obviously it can.

    I’m thinking of all of those men who lost their penises… Imagine, being a traditional man and losing your penis. Imagine the pain behind that. I’m a woman and I can feel it, how humiliating it has to be.

    And I know ITF and Mossad laughed. This is funny to them.

    We live in a despicable world.
