a large proportion of these children have been murdered, many havent even made it onto the official death count as they've been crushed to death and lost in the rubble, those who've survived are being starved to death right now by Israel, through the active participation of our governments.
"Only Hezbollah had the pagers" is the new "40 babies beheaded".
The intel comes directly from Netanyahu's boys and the media regurgitate it undigested.
Annoyed at “who uses pagers anyway” privileged rhetoric. My cousins in Lebanon have pagers for their mums to send “bring milk” or “call me” not all places are first world countries w/ high speed internet - some don’t even have constant power? The average wage is $200USD/month
Forcing black children into slavery to amass electronics to kill brown children a few countries over seems like a special kind of hell. Two genocides in one.
Fatima was killed in the pager attack. She was 9 years old. Then during her funeral, Israel set off another explosion killing mourners. Textbook terrorism.
There is no way that what Israel just pulled in Lebanon is not a war crime. It is 100% a war crime. It is an act of terror and attempting to justify it by saying the target was Hezbollah when they killed children, medics, doctors, civilians is not going to work. Horrific.
What Lebanon has experienced today is undoubtedly, without question, without nuance, a terrorist attack. 3000+ injured folk, with injuries that are so stomach-churning they feel like they’re made up. Say it as it is. This is an act of terror.
An Israel without Netanyahu won’t change the fact that Israel is an ethnonationalist state that receives overwhelming support from its primary beneficiaries. Netanyahu is just an individual who plays a part in a settler-colonial structure.
keep in mind this was 10 days into the genocide. the world saw what israel was aiming for from the very beginning and they not only allowed it but supplied it with more weapons to continue for another 216 days. and counting.
