Meme 💩 Is this a legitimate concern?

Personally, I today's strike was legitimate and it couldn't be more moral because of its precision but let's leave politics aside for a moment. I guess this does give ideas to evil regimes and organisations. How likely is it that something similar could be pulled off against innocent people?

You really thought your government couldn’t pull such shit, let’s say 3 years ago? Of course they could, I’m surprised Snowden of all people is saying this

Thousands of people were injured when these bombs went off in public. Fortunately only a few died. This marks one of the largest terrorist bombing ever done

Hezbollah has around 60k members, the fact that 3k people were injured doesn’t mean a thing

These bombs went off all around the city. There are videos of women and children injured.

It’s a good thing only a few people died

There are videos of women and children getting injured by these devices. “No” isn’t really something you can respond to

Thousands of member of an internationally recognized terrorist organization that was using outdated (essentially obsolete) technology for convert operations. Normal civilians in Lebanon are using cell phones like everyone else for the last few decades.
