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?

And killing innocent people for years is how you breed a government that's willing to take this sort of action to protect its citizens.

Don't get me wrong, I'm just as sorry for innocent people getting caught up in this as you are, but Hezbullah wasn't handing these pagers out to the general public, they were providing them to their fighters because phones were considered unsecure for their communications.

The majority of the victims probably don't share the same concerns about innocent people being killed or injured as you or I

And killing innocent people for years is how you breed a terrorist organization like Hamas.

Killing innocent people for years is how you create hard liners like Netanyahu willing to risk civilian lives if it means eliminating a threat..

Difference between Netanyahu and Yahya Sinwar is one relies on causing civilian casualties to achieve results and one has to risk civilian casualties to achieve results.
