For reference, due to the inefficiency of cellphones and computers, especially near extremely sensitive equipment and in hospitals with many floors that block wifi signals, pagers are the standard communication devices in hospitals.
I have no doubt that hundreds of the casualties reported were nurses, doctors, and EMTs.
If any nation sold thousands of handheld bombs to hospitals and civilians in the US, Congress would mobilize the nation for war before the end of the day.
So this is an act of war right? Like I know that this has been a war… but like I am just keeping counts of acts of war and Declaration of War by actions being done… and like this is one …
I’m honestly surprised Lebanon hasn’t declared war at this point
the lebanon goverment is a joke, it’s the reason why hezbollah exists.
They’re weighing their options. Its blatantly obvious that Israel is baiting a war with Lebanon so that they can call the US in for direct assistance, which will lead to a protracted and costly war for Lebanon. The silence is deafening however, and Lebanon will need to respond somehow.
I thought blowing up another country’s embassy was certainly an act of war and I guess no one cared about it?
It is … and no one did… because we are checks notes in the worst timeline… I mean my only question is at what point does what Isn’treal doing not just become so moraly reprehisable (we are well past that) but a nusence enough to atleast the neighbors not bought and payed for by the US that a regional war actualy breaks out… at what point does Iran and Lebenon ect. decide that the risk of US involvement is less than letting the babby have a gun
I was wondering if this was a supply-chain attack. Fucking sophisticated shit.
They’re not made by Motorola (which is Chinese). They were made by Gold Apollo (which is Taiwanese).
This was a really hard lesson for Hezbollah to learn to always buy shit from certified anti-imperialist sources and not from fake China. China should airlift Huawei devices to Hezbollah to replace them.
On the other hand, the Axis of Resistance has never had a better excuse to annihilate Israel in response.
This is the kind of thing that should motivate every nerd to realize that they do have something to contribute to the revolution even if it seems small at first. Help with opsec and infosec! Orgs are busy thinking about other things! They will be safer if you help them decrease their attack surface.
This wasn’t need shit. This was a supply chain attack. Most people saw supply chain attacks as pure cyber - backdoors, remote listening, etc. This is the first supply chain attack I know of that added lethality. This is something every organization is going to look for on all electronics shipments now.
Just to be safe, don’t buy western tech. That in itself would be good revenge. Bankrupt the assholes. Oh you sanctioned Huawei, watch no one buy your tech because of crazy rumors that should be spread even if they are false about western tech.
It was made in Europe, not Taiwan. Also, the KMT doesn’t represent Taiwan. They are literally immigrants to Taiwan and are referred to as such there.
Reading between the lines it sounds the company was a mossad front
Of course it was.
Motorola (which is Chinese)
wat
It’s a subsidiary of Lenovo
I am currently taking bets on what of the 3 companies owned by china will be the last one the US bans, Motorola, Volvo, or Milwakee tools
I am glad you clarified, I was trying to figureout why Lenovo would co-operate with Isn’treal
I don’t even know what to say. Just thinking about the amount of planning going into this terrorism.
Considering Tel Aviv isn’t actually at war with Lebanon this is just an act of genuine insanity. They just created a whole new generation of adversaries by dragging in so many civillians.
When Israel says something warlike (although the truth is usually just in Hebrew) believe them. They’ve made up their minds that they want a wider war in the WA/NA region and will do whatever is necessary to start one. But they have an image to keep up, that’s critical to their national strategy, of acting like the perpetual victim… so they can’t straight up invade anyone.
Other than that EVERYTHING is on the table.
Launch the missiles Iran🙏🇮🇷
PETN-ion batteries, such hot tech right now.
They are even taking about using it in electric cars to vastly increase the (vertical) range they can do.
Would actually make the cyber truck able to go up hills.
Pushing it to the limits it wasn’t designed for - some might even break down :D
It wasn’t the batteries, the pagers were powered using standard double AA batteries. It was implanted bombs.
How do you overheat a standard AA battery? Just by shorting it?
You physically can’t, unless you have a defective battery or you short the wiring, but that’s oblivious as soon as you insert the battery. Overheating a double a battery also won’t do much. Is it dangerous? Yes. But it won’t be a violent explosion.
I don’t know about you, but I am in a fucking shock. After one year of Gaza a person would think it can’t go any further than Gaza. Obviously it can.
I’m thinking of all of those men who lost their penises… Imagine, being a traditional man and losing your penis. Imagine the pain behind that. I’m a woman and I can feel it, how humiliating it has to be.
And I know ITF and Mossad laughed. This is funny to them.
We live in a despicable world.
some kids got their heads blown off because they’re at pocket height, saw a video of a guy losing both of his legs from it
More children with blown heads of…
Wait, did Samsung’s patent expire?
You know, the ramifications of this are gonna be intense. Imagine the reality setting in for corporations worldwide that Israel could just be strapping lethal weapons; openly and brazenly, by the way, not like they’re trying to hide this at all like some Five Eyes/NSA shit; to any devices passing through chains they have influence in. Even if you’re the most West-gargling corporation or entity; this is the kinda shit that makes you go “huh”.
This is just…depraved.
This is what triggers WW3. We need to respond to Israel’s flagrant disregard of human life with force or this type of shit continues.
Fucking sick.
How do you make sure that 1000’s of pagers were only sold to terrorist and not just normal people that might use one, and how do you make sure that they haven’t changed hands in the last 5 months? It’s not like a pager is something only a terrorist would use.
They didn’t bother. It’s called collaterals damage and they don’t think any outside of Israelis are full humans.
It’s not about targeting “terrorists” it’s about targeting medical staff, and other innocent people. Pagers are very widely used by medical staff. Especially in the ER. Isn’treal has shown time and time again they specifically target medical and care staff. It’s like their snub at the world. They know that it is universally accepted that medical staff is not to be targeted in wars and conflicts by most all nations. It no difference when they target people from the UN, NATO, other allied forces, etc. it’s than declaring they will be as shitty and despicable as they want, that they don’t answer to anyway, and can get away with anything.
Not to be pedantic, but people who are defending themselves against a genocidal occupier aren’t terrorists.
In a vaccum, putting aside everything else that Isreal has done, this should be grounds for a complete embargo of Isreal. Why should any country trust a rogue nation that puts bombs in products that arr circulated throughout the civilian population?
Jokingly a kinda serious, sad answer - because de facto colonies can’t just freely decide stuff like this without consequences. And other superpowers like China just don’t yet get targeted that significantly to outweigh the commercial benefits of overall trades.
There’s a mission in the video game Star Wars: The Old Republic in which an Imperial character can place explosives inside handheld communicators being used by resistance fighters – following through with the plan gives you lots of Dark Side morality points.
Israel is just farming those dark side points, they wanna wear those cool robes you can buy when its maxed out
And then if you go Light Side on that mission, the guy reveals that civillian casualties is the point. Kinda eerie.
I’ve been trying to find details about this on the internet. Do you have more specifics that I can look up somewhere?
https://swtorista.com/quests/index.php?quest=empire-balmorra-coms-away
It’s just a small side mission, so it’s not well-documented. The Dark Side choice is to put explosives in the comm units in order to kill civilians; the Light Side choice is to sabotage grenades in order to only kill resistance soldiers. It’s a mission only for characters aligned with the Sith Empire, so even the “good” choice is pretty shitty.
Perfect, Thank you!
Star Wars also came to my mind when thinking about this whole thing. It’s something that could come straight from the mind of Darth Sidious.
