Second wave of Lebanon device explosions kills 20 and wounds 450

Posted by Ed on September 19, 2024, 5:09 am

So reads the headline in an appalling Israeli apologist piece by the BiBiC.
As typical of the gloating msm, it is a crass example of the total refusal and cowardly inability to call out Israel for the terrorist state that it is and illustrating the glaring difference in coverage which would have ensued, had a country like Russia or Iran carried out such indiscriminate terrorist acts.
Really sick to the back teeth now, of all calls for other countries to "not do anything that might escalate tensions", in the face of such criminal behaviour and unceasing barbarity.

Something's gotta give!

As noted in the excellent Katie Halper segment you posted yesterday, we tend to go "Oh, wounded, that's ok" and not think about it but that includes all manner of amputation, blindings and all sorts of other horrific injuries.

This surely has to be the last straw or are they waiting for another Sabra and Shatilla before they have a "strongly worded phone call" or some other "drastic" action against this rampaging lunatic terrorist state?

Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.

I read about and saw doctors in Lebanon clearly shaken by the level of and severity of, the hundreds of wounded after this terrorism.
Several of them talked about spending the whole day removing destroyed eyes and treating mutilating wounds and loss of limbs.
They were working so hard at trying to save the sight of these victims, many of them left totally blind or if "lucky" one eye could be saved.

Looks like the doctors will be doing the same again today after these latest atrocity.

Meanwhile, our craven msm gloat about how "audacious" these acts of terrorism were and how "humiliated" Hezbollah must be and how ditching their original cell phones hadn't worked out well for them.
If there is any serious retaliation for these terrorist attacks, we'll get to see how the reporting goes when the boot is on the other foot.

Wednesday’s walkie-talkie explosions were substantially stronger than Tuesday’s pager ones. This seems borne out in the relative numbers of fatalities. I guess it is possible to get more explosive in the former, so they did.

The injuries looked terrible in videos I saw, mainly facial and abdominal. The pain and suffering seems indescribable to me: These are in high proportions young people who will need to be cared for for life. I can’t even imagine it.

Its a kind of WMD distributed in 20 gram quantities.

Hungarian company’s background ..

“According to three intelligence sources, the Hungarian paging company that produced the walkie-talkies was established by Israel with the aim of harming Hezbollah. There were two other such companies whose purpose was also to disguise the fact that the pagers were produced by Israeli intelligence officers. The Hungarian company did accept regular customers, and produced regular pagers for them. The pagers of Hezbollah members were manufactured separately and with explosives inside their batteries - and began to be sent to Lebanon from 2022.”

That seems to be the story that is emerging which will be interesting if they started sending this stuff over in 2022 because that will contradict the "apartheid state defending itsef" hasbara that the media constantly parrots, although I'm sure they will go back far enough and find some Lebanese "provocation".

Who would ever want personal electronic devices actually made by a country known for weaponising them en masse to murder people who disagreed with it?

The Israel loonies may be hatefully gleeful now but these bombings have effectively destroyed the prospect of any civilian Israeli electronics industry arising.

A requirement from clients, is that the whole manufacturing process must be done inside China.

Sort of the law of unintended consequences?
I'm sure China are more than willing to accommodate the demand.
China is Hezbollah and Hamas now!
