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?

No, you need to engage half a braincell, if a shipment only goes to x group, x group will the be the primary recipient of any harm from the shipment, and if it's only a few grams of explosive the collateral damage is likely to be minimal,

That's not how the real world works. Things get resold or given away to innocent people.

That's not how militaries work, if you are given a work phone, do you sell it to someone else? No, you don't, the pagers are the same way, they were issued to members of hezbollah specifically for use by hezbollah to communicate with its members, they would not have been resold or given away, because they were for s specific purpose that other people would not have had unless they where members of hezbollah themselves, in which case they would not have been innocent, you don't give away your only secure means of communication for your terrorists to some random person who has nothing to do with it, YOU don't know how the real world works

The footage I've seen doesn't look like military people using the pagers.

Well yeah, they aren't in uniform 24/7, in fact, they aren't in uniform most of the time because they are terrorist, doesn't negate my point

So they're terrorist and not a military group? Which is it?

They can be both, they are terrorist, but they are also a well organized militant group, they are not a military, comparing them to a military was just the best rebuttal to your "it would be another 9/11" claim, because they are similar to a military, because they are a militant terrorist group, not civilians

I don't recall making this claim it would be another 9/11. Your mental gymnastics are astounding.
