I have a lot less of a problem with this than what’s happening in Gaza. - znufrii Sep 19, 10:16 1
- a child was killed. their *shrug* over killing kids is as disgusting in this case as it is in Gaza. we can be mad at both. -- nm - colin Sep 19, 11:57
Are we relying on the ICRC concept of a "war crime"? Or the ICC definition? Or some other definition? -- (edited) - ReluctantCynic Sep 19, 09:42 1
- i've seen some legitimate discussion about booby trapping orginary devices being a big part of why this is illegal. -- (link) - colin Sep 19, 12:00
hezbollah using the devices in pursuit of their terror campaign across three nations (Syria, Lebanon, Israel). They're not used by anyone else for .. -- (edited) - mud Sep 19, 09:35 16
- i do not believe that there was tracking of custody of ownership of these devices. they were manufactured long enough ago that they could have passed - colin Sep 19, 11:58
- Why are children dead from the explosions? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 19, 09:36 14
  - Two kids heard daddy's special pager go off so they picked it up to bring to him.... -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 19, 09:55 4
    - it's tragic, they're not the targets. Hezbullah sucks almost as much as Hamas. Palestinian casualties serve their purpose, they even inflate the #s -- nm - mud Sep 19, 10:01 3
      - Palestinian deaths are much more than 40k...UN thinks it's way over 200,000 maybe 300k. The 40k is just those registered with health dept -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 19, 10:06
      - just rationalizations all the way down -- nm - mr mooch Sep 19, 10:02 1
        
        bite me. -- nm - mud Sep 19, 10:05
  - collateral happens in every conflict, especially when terrorists strategically surround themselves with citizens -- nm - mud Sep 19, 09:38 7
    - weird that they didn't send pagers and walkie talkies to Hamas in December then -- nm - mr mooch Sep 19, 09:39 6
      - BBC (or was it al jaz) addressed that, Hamas has their own methods, remember israel runs the cell towers, they use tunnels and runners -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 19, 11:43 1
        
        here is a couple paragraphs from Aljazeera article - zeitgeist Sep 19, 11:51
      - The latest reports suggests the vector was the battery supply chain. Explosives covertly added to the batteries. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 19, 09:43 3
        
        So that could mean there's more out there unknown...say, do airport scanners detect those? -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 19, 09:57 2
        
        Scanners wouldn't imo. Wonder if sniffer dogs would. I don't know if we know what kind of explosive is used. And if dogs are trained for it. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Sep 19, 10:16
        
        Lebanon's airports seem to think so -- (link) - mr mooch Sep 19, 10:00
  - exactly -- nm - Jovian Sep 19, 09:36
just put it on his ICC tab -- nm - mr mooch Sep 19, 09:31
