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
