    That particular pager was in a bag, against a person, pointed away from anyone or anything else. Not to mention anything of the second attack, which used much larger charges and started fires and blew out windows across Lebanon.

    And anyway, a single example isn’t going to assuage anyone who has been reading reports of women and children dying from the attack.

      Where else would you carry a pager? You have to feel it when it vibrates.

      Not to mention anything of the second attack, which used much larger charges and started fires and blew out windows across Lebanon.

      Well, I’m sorry to hear that Lebanon’s glazers just got several months of guaranteed work, I guess, but I’m otherwise not sure why this is relevant.

      And anyway, a single example isn’t going to assuage anyone who has been reading reports of women and children dying from the attack.

      What reports?

      They’re also ignoring the literal terror being experienced by civilians who witnessed people’s legs and faces being blown off in public.

      That’s terrorism.
