Get wounded some more??

Me and a few others here are responding to people claiming that this attack “murdered an insane number of civilians”, “killed a majority of civilians”, “was like an anthrax attack” and so on.

I’m showing publicly available information and how that leads to me to conclude that the above statements go against all logic.

Now, if your final argument is that one can’t really comment on any news from the Middle East because ‘we can’t know’ then yeah, I guess I don’t have any more rebuttal for that

Should they have somehow forced them to stay while they were bombing Hezbollah positions? How?

I would advise you to read your own posts again

Yes, I am claiming most of the injured must have been Hezbro’s. You clearly seem to have taken the opposite position in this post:

Now your claim is that most or all of the 3500 injured were terrorists? Really?

When talking about the civilian casualties you claimed I was ignoring:

the thousands of wounded and the other 10 dead people

So you have the 2 children (clearly civilians) and the other 10 people wiki states were civilians sandwiching these ‘thousands of wounded’ that I’m ‘ignoring in my calculation’. Why would you add those ‘thousands of wounded that I’m ignoring’ in there if not to claim that they were civilians and not Hezbros??

Why would you post that first quote if you yourself agree that most of those injured were actually Hezbros and not civilians (something you’re advising me not to challenge)?

This could all be cleared up really easily if you just say how many of the injured you think are civilians and what you’re basing that on

No, they shouldn’t. But how should they react to their civilians being attacked when they’re staying on their side of the border?

Should Israel allow Hezbollah to kill as many civilians as they want, to avoid being called terrorists on the internets?

Can you explain how you came to the conclusion that most of the 3500 injured people must have been civilians?

Having just won the US elections, I’m sure Bibi is really keeping that growing stack of letters and memoranda from the White House at the top of his todo list

Don’t forget: they’re going to shoot a whole lot of them on the way through

Are you now suggesting that the average Hezbro came off unharmed, and only the people in the vicinity were hurt?

Did you see any of the leaked videos? Did you see the remains of exploded devices?

I’ve got a mild feeling you’re just discarding all the information that’s available to you, instead clinging to some weird unsubstantiated hope that this mostly hit civilians

Well if they had around 3.000 pagers exploding…

I’m kidding, of course!

All 3.000 Hezbros (bar the 30 that died) must have already passed their secure one-way pagers handed to them by the Hezbollah leadership on to unsuspecting civilians. After all, who wouldn’t want to be carrying around a mysterious one-way pager that periodically shows you cryptic messages?? “Hello Nighthawk. Ze goats are riding ze bicycles. I repeat: ze goats are…” KABOOOM

Are you suggesting that the civilians on the Israeli side ‘deserved it’?

But it’s you that’s suggesting those injured are all civilians

If not, how many of them are?

You’re incorrect to assume that because someone had a civilian job, they could not have other roles within Hezbollah. Do you think Hezbollah needed secure communication equipment to tell the public trash collection administrator that they were holding their annual christmas raffle?

You seem to be fantasizing a lot about the distribution, as well as how an organisation like Hezbollah would handle someone that tried to sell their personal secure one-way pager in a pawn shop. Imagine being in an organisation that’s extremely worried about being snooped on, getting handed a secret communication device, and then trying to sell it in a pawn shop

The muslims think they have a divine right on the territory as well. That’s the very reason they didn’t accept a two state solution back in 1947.

But of course, once the IDF manages to capture that last Shebaa Farm, they can leverage that baby to [checks you nutcase conspiracy theory] horah their armoured divisions right through Jordan, Syria and Saudi-Arabia all the way into Baghdad unopposed

Hezbollah had to attack them to prevent this from happening

Seems like you’re focused on Hamas here & this is exactly the mindset that makes sure the violence will never end. If Hezbollah hadn’t attacked Israel last year, all these people would be alive.

I’m not acting like those were the only civilian casualties. It’s just what’s brought up all the time. ‘Thousands’ of civilians wounded seems very unlikely when there’s only <3.000 of these devices going off and the extent of the explosions visible from the leaked footage. Reeks of misinformation if you ask me

You don’t go inside Lebanon and assassinate thousands of militants, that’s just an impossible expectation

Maybe in your magical fairy world you can, but in the real world 2 dead kids from 3.000 strikes would be considered very precise

Hezbollah’s beef is religious - they think they’ll be denied paradise if they didn’t join Hamas’ attack
