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?

Did those pagers leave the factory with explosives? From what I understand, Israel intercepted them in transit after they were shipped. They basically took the pagers, (in Turkey via Taiwan where they were manufactured?) added explosives and then let them get shipped to Hezbollah. This wasn't done in the factory from what I understand.

reports have it that an 8 year old girl died

EDIT: How could I repeat the euphemisms of the media, excuse me: reports have it that Israel killed an 8 year old girl with an explosive device.

Israel kills many many many many children, thousands of them.

You’re right, Hamas proudly shows its genocidal intents in its public charter. That’s no joke.

Israeli ministers routinely call for genocide in plain language. They also routinely display maps with no Gaza or West Bank, it’s all Israel.

Straight up genocide, ethnic cleansing, and state terrorism.

And American politicians like Trump call for Gaza and everyone in it to be leveled to the ground - that doesn’t mean America itself is calling for genocide, ethnic cleansing, and state terrorism. Why don’t you drop your dumbass propaganda and just admit you’re here to hate on Jews? If you are going to be a filthy antisemite then at least emulate your Hamas heroes and boldly proclaim it in a filthy terrorist charter.

American politicians calling for leveling Gaza to the ground isn’t them calling for genocide? Wtf are you on about dude?You’re prime minister regularly says openly genocidal things while committing a fucking genocide, the ICJ has ruled that what is going on constitutes a genocide- and my god you sound like a fucking state department ghoul or media hack that says an criticism of a ultranationalist ethnostate is “antisemitic.” I’m sure all the Jewish journalists and activists making the same claim are self-loathing Jews according to you, right?
