It appears that the pagers were manufactured in Hungary under licence from a Taiwanese company. The brand owner in Taiwan claims to know nothing about it, which seems entirely plausible. The question is whether Mossad was running the entire production line in Budapest. I can’t imagine how they managed to booby trap so many of the devices, and ensure they only went into what was presumably a bulk purchase order, if they didn’t have pretty much unfettered access to the factory.

Re: Hamas Israel War

We are going to be descending into all out war..I'm hoping that the British government are going to keep a very,very big distance from either side.
Mind there will be several other countries who will no doubt stir the pot for all their worth if they think they will gain influence.

Targeting a child certainly would be unlawful, by the ‘laws’ of war, such as they are. Targeting a member of an armed Iranian proxy militia, and killing a child in the effort, would probably not be. Like it or not, this is the world we live in and those are the complex web of international treaties that attempt to keep a lid on the worst expressions of human nature.

That’s not to minimise the tragedy or glorify the violence at all. But any attempt to understand what’s happening, and even to campaign for change, requires us to recognise the context in which it happens. Shouting ‘murder’ may feel morally satisfying but it won’t persuade any of the people who did this, or enabled it.

Not likely, listening to that war criminal Blair to much.

The language of “militant” and “fighter” represents years of well-meant attempts to be even handed and neutral in reporting on Palestine-Israel but here and now it’s plain equivocation. These men sit in precisely the same category as the Al-Qaeda terrorists who hijacked planes on 9/11 and used them to murder 1,000s of people in New York and Washington.
Israeli has been killing innocent people in Gaza for years, as long as America backs then they will continue to do so.

I think the point is there’s no outrage at hundreds/thousands of innocent people being injured. When Israel do it its justifiable collateral damage in the war against their enemy. When Hamas do it they’re evil terrorists

The pager explosions show a brutal disregard for the safety of non combatants

Appears there’s been more explosions as well

Re: Hamas Israel War

Notwithstanding the ICJ’s legal opinion, Isreal does not occupy Gaza. It forcibly evicted the last Israeli settlers there in 2005. Even the ICJ admits its definition of ‘occupation’ hangs on the fact that Israel ‘could’ exercise control over the territory if it wished, not that it actually does so.

Regardless of the above, you can play chicken and egg with this all the way back to 1947 and even earlier. Arguments built on arbitrary dates (1967 being a popular one) are inherently bad faith.

No they just hold the entire population hostage by the ability to stop routine daily life in its tracks on a whim

Everyone that had one of those pagers was either a member of or worked for a terrorist organization ( don’t know why a child would have one)

It will continue as long as Hamas exist, it will end when Palestinians and neighboring Islamic nations accept Israel’s right to exist.
