- "This is a process that is not only very bloody but brings a lot of criticism for Israel from around the world."
Israel know they have enemies on all sides, and face "a lot of criticism" so this attack was a way of showing Lebanon "what they can do" without "risk" of a grand invasion, says The Times's Richard Spencer.

The Uk's Moral Groin has Been Blown Out......!
What's going to happen next? iPhones?! Electric vehicles?!!! 🤦♀️
It already set up, this isn’t nothing new, it’s even shown in some films
It’s the most cowardly act in any war
Your electric kettle,your fridge,your tv. Its not even a joke. It's technically possible

@HermesTrismegistus Terrorists crying about 😢 terrorists 😅
I been told by those who know that Israel has shipped special custom cigars.
Where can we find compassion in this landscape?
Not here.
Palestinians have been drowning in compassion for decades and flooded with billions of dollars of aid as a result. They even have their own dedicated UN agency to maintain them and their offspring as "forever refugees". The world did everything possible to support them to build a state. But they never wanted to build a state, only to destroy a state: Israel. The result is where we are now and they became "forever victims".
What childish comments! Who will ever trust electronic equipment on planes, trains, shipping and all forms of public transportation
You mean the public transportation that gets regularly targeted by M... by terrorists?
It's terrorism.
No it's not! 😂
How? Would you prefer Israel target Hezbollah fighters via gun or rocket attacks… which would have MUCH greater harm to nearby civilians?
What is thousands of rockets shot into Israel? Just asking.
Acts like these are eroding international support for a country that is existentially dependant on such support. They help consolidate those actors who wish for the end of its existence, and create so much hatred in the next generation that it might eventually succeed in it.
It's a totally and cowardly act of war, but it's only showing how incapable the Israel soldiers fighting hezbollah
Adjust tinfoil hat 😂
@@joelturley4847 Your check from AIPAC will be in the mail shortly
@@ob3ythee.t.128As will yours from the Muslim Brotherhood
It is quite difficult to jibe Israel's military dominance over its immediate region, with incessant Israeli claims they are in constant risk of existential extinction.
It was not a no risk attack. What if someone had been carrying one of those devices on a plane at rhe time it went off. It could have killed any of us.
Why would you be travelling in a plane with terrorists. Is there something the authorities should know about you
No risk for the IDF, but believe me when I say, that when you stoke up this amount of hatred in your opponents, that no risk will only be short term. Israel is creating another generation that they will have to fight. It is, I'm afraid, a vicious circle.
@@jamesyoung4309you absolute tool
@@jamesyoung4309 dont be an idiot. I take it when youre on a plane, you know every single passenger and whether theyre a criminal or terrorist?......🙄
@@jamesyoung4309 stop deflecting and answer his question or be quiet
Hezbollah is effectively a post civil war proxy entity ‘embedded’ within the sovereign state of Lebanon that has a military to secure its borders. However, this ‘security’ is undermined by hosting Hezbollah who has a ‘militia’ openly operating within Lebanon, independent of the State. A militia that has no formal identifying dress code to separate it from the civilians. This in itself is a convention red line, particularly when the entity threatens to retaliate/attack another country, and would this action have the approval of the Lebanese state? It would seem that a lesson has been learnt from Gaza’s horrendous civilian casualty count, most those pager targets appear to be fighting age men. The gloves come off when you can’t identify who you are engaging with, it is likely that a numbers list was hacked from Hezbollah servers, with the messages sent directly from it to the pager holders. Devastatingly effective.
No one wants to see any of this but I don’t get anyone taking sides. Both sides here want to annihilate each other, complaining about how underhand attacks are doesn’t matter, this is war unfortunately. How does it end? The Jews leave Israel? Not realistic is it? As long as the constant pulling of the tigers tail by the surrounding countries then the wars will continue. I get this history, I get the grievance, understand the hatred. Not going to fix it tho. One side needs to back down, I can’t see it being Israel tho and they’re the ones with all the guns and they’re not going to leave so the cycle continues
Why did Bill Clinton fail?
@@edmondlonergan9915 exactly this
Israel has not tried to annihilate any country for the last 20 years.
Are you in favour of greater levels of asylum seeking in the UK and Europe? Genuine question.
@@peter9162 no not at all, I think people around the world should feel safe in their own country. The issues in the Middle East are unique and rationality and reasoning seem to have gone out the window for both sides. The inevitable spike in asylum seekers will be the result of a wider war, none from Palestine arguably as they are not allowed to leave. The spectre of Iran, china and Russia in the background means the west play chess with these issues and innocent people die as a result. I wish as a species we didn’t behave the way we do, especially when it’s in the name of religion. The whole “my make believe sky fairy is better than yours” is not the hill people need to go out on, in my humble opinion anyway
Is no one going to mention that this is a direct violation of the Geneva convention
Are you not going to mention that if it was the other way round you wouldn't even comment on it
9.000 rockets fired into civilian areas is not?
@@Jk2223g. Further proof you never need to pack an apologist. Their's always one when you get there.
The bombs were issued by the Hezbollah leadership to their followers. They even paid the Israeli front company for them! Is anyone in Hezbollah taking responsibility for this series of mistakes that caused so much damage to their organization?
Of course not. They're Arabs.
@@Jk2223g what a nonsense argument. Apart from the fact that terrorism against anyone is not just internationally condemned but condemned by anyone with any basic sense of right and wrong - criticism in no way equates to taking sides, sympathising or condoning the acts of particular terrorist groups as you imply. Terrorists don't comply with international laws, nor act in a civilised, humane way when it comes to their tactics. They don't sign up to conventions, nor hold themselves to those high standards. Israel claim that they do.
Israel has no choice ,but to defend themselves ,terrorists take risks and have to except there are conseqences
Terrorist acts, are you refer to the pagers and handphones explosion being carried out by the netanyahu?
Does it matter that it was mass terrorism and a clear war crime? No, of course it doesn’t matter.
Without lies
islam dies 🤷
Is times owned by Israel, seems to be a pr service for them
@@bhupendraparekh6225 Google Rupert Murdoch very right wing pig of a man

Be happy Bhupi. Israel has always supported India and vice versa. Or are you anti-Indian?
The speaker feeling humiliation is only representative of his psychology.
Most people considered it a war crime.
The Jewish population don't like it for,well,good reasons. But it washes away the last remnants of the guilt they've been dictating we all have to feel for the last 80 years. Now,were all saying Enough,already.
Warcrime
Safe bet ?
