          And If I proved they were doing preciesely that would it fucking matter to you? Hezbollah is a “Palestinian” Iranian funded terrorist group that has killed thousands of Jews in Israel, and decided to get involved in the Gaza conflict, warned not to, by raining missiles down on north Israel, and it’s fucking children. Facing thousands more missles, Israel acted by targeting those that carried HEzbollah pagers, no one else. If you are allowing Hezbollah fighters to walk about in your communities, and aren’t killing them yourself, and are allowing them close enough to your children, while they raining down missiles at Israel that’s insane. Israel are allowed to celebrate their victories over their enemies, that have sworn through word and deed, and blood, to end them. Don’t join a terrorist group threatening Israeli CHILDREN, don’t allow a terrorist group shooting missiles at Israeli children around your children or anyone esle you care about, they are fucking targets, and they will be eliminated before they can kill one more Isreali child. also as a side note, stay out of the pilling on comment business, you’re not at ti

            Don’t join a terrorist group threatening Israeli CHILDREN

            Read the original comment you responded to again. You only care about one ethnic group’s children. That’s pretty fucked up

            Hezbollah is a “Palestinian” Iranian funded terrorist group

            It’s based in Lebanon and almost all its members are Lebanese Shi’a. It has had support from Iran but its main source of funding and support is the people of south Lebanon. I’m not saying that’s right or wrong, but that’s how it is. And if you’re counting dead kids, you might want to also include those killed by Israeli invasions of south Lebanon since the 1980s, along with all the other Lebanese civilian fatalities.

            if I proved it

            yeah. that would be a big fucking deal. Do you have proof, or just a straw man.

            It would matter. But Hezbollah is not Palestinian.

            https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah

            The middle east has traded eyes so long everyone is blind.

            Its just a tragedy for everyone and I hope one day they figure it out. Thats how I honestly feel about it man, no need to be antagonized.

            It’s impossible to believe you care about children while you are defending the mass murder of Palestinian children. It’s just another excuse to justify your bloodlust.

      And is this one the exploding kind as well, or just a fake knock off? You wouldn’t want to anger Trump by offering a broken, incomplete copy, right

    Perfect item for a listening device.

    Hand delivered to the guy who hates protocols and regulations and loves gold shit from the 80s.

    There’s a good chance he’ll just stick this in his desk in the oval office.

    I’m 100% serious.

      Because I was terrorized and not some Americans or Europeans so it’s cool. The Empire is fine, go back to work.

      Imagine driving down the road and everyone affiliated with one gang just has their phone explode. While they’re driving, sitting in buses, walking down the road or eating at a local restaurant with their family. Wouldn’t you be so relieved to see them all die morbid deaths? Wouldn’t the screams of their children and their careening vehicles as well as the panicking normal people trying to break their way out of bus windows warm your heart? They were in gangs or something, this is a good thing! 🥰🥰

      And the mass hysteria right after, 48 hours of people thinking their phones, computers, CPAP machines, solar inverters, cars, wireless devices, and basically anything with a power button could imminently explode. Like we don’t have other problems.

      And then you go online and enough people are smug about it, even on Lemmy (a rare decent space online), that you genuinely lose some remnant of respect for the average person. I’ve been online for almost two decades now, I’ve seen and gotten used to how mean it could be, but this event broke something and I’ve actually cried over nothing more than expressions of callousness online that weren’t even directed at me.

      It’s kind of funny. As Lebanese people we are pretty damn racist and judgmental, we think we’re some forgotten actually-European country that’s not like all those countries, I could write a whole essay on why deep down we culturally feel more white than any western white person. But then things like this happen, and everyone pretends you’re in rural Afghanistan and always have been, and worse still, that you deserve it on some level.

      Which now just makes me wonder how they feel in Afghanistan.

        I get that but CNN is just a bystander in this conflict. It’s just irritating to see and helps validate all the “MSM fake news” bullshit you see online.

            In the sense that they’re not going to be “the victor” in this conflict but I do agree they’re more than willing to be a mouthpiece for the US government.
