Compared to dumping white phosphorus over hospitals and refugee camps, killing 2 (?) children during an attack that targeted hundreds/thousands is many orders of magnitude more precise. I hate dead innocents as much as anyone, but you gotta admit the pagers were effective and included way less collateral damage than the methods Isreal has employed in recent history.
The point of the post isn't to praise the pagers attack. It's to point out that Isreal is capable of causing less collateral damage in Gaza but chooses not to.
Fucking weird comment.
Yeah. No I don't.
That comes down to how often Hamas orders things that can reasonably have small bombs put inside them on a large scale and that Hamas are expected to have on their person's most of the time, how secure their supply lines are, how paranoid they are about looking for that kind of thing, that sort of thing. It involves a lot more moving parts and rare opportunities than just dropping some bombs.
you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to them"
Do you admit that mass gas chambers are an effective way to kill people ?
So much nuance, wow
Yes. A very large part of what made the holocaust so terrible was that it was very effective at killing people.
If my goal was to kill exclusively enemy combatants and leave all civilians alone, it would be pretty effective to round them up and gas them, yes. I'd rather do that than indiscriminate fire.
Combatants tend to violently fight back, when you try to round them up. They also tend to hide among civilians in case of terrorist militia like Hezbollah.
...are you implying that mass gas chambers aren't an effective way to kill people?
so is climate change????
You do realise targets in Gaza and targets in Lebanon are not the same? On one hand you have fighters shielding themselves behind civilians and dont even know what a pager is and why they would use it, on the other hand you have political and operative leaders on these fighters that need these pagers to stay low profile and untaped...
You're right, this is disgusting...

And this is too. Do these people have no morals? https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/23/human-shielding-in-action-israeli-forces-strap-palestinian-man-to-jeep
Holy fuck that's disgusting
And Guess who put these booby traps?
Please give us a rundown of when human shields are okay and not okay. Let me guess, it depends who is using them, but in a roundabout way?
It's pretty effective when your attacker doesn't want to harm innocents at any cost, at least. But most organizations going to war don't care enough.
Bruh... Hamas put these traps in the middle of their "citizens", do you think IDF forced them to do this tactic?
It's amusing/depressing you went for the latter part of my post.
Ah so using human shields is OK all of a sudden? What about the second example? Don't worry, I can find more if you like

I'm confused why you were so outraged by the use of human shields at first and now when I send examples you all of a sudden don't seem to care. You didn't even mention the second example yet.
Not my fault if you are confusing yourself...
