The BBC reported it was a Taiwanese brand to let a Hungarian company manufacture them on their behalf. The pagers were brought to Lebanon 5 months ago. The Hungarian company has been around since about 2022.

For this to be a supply chain attack, the level of sophistication indicates Israeli intelligence was at this for years, from setting up a shell company, infiltrating manufacturing companies, etc. We don’t know whether the Taiwanese company was compromised as well.

Now this last part is a bit of a conspiracy theory, but it makes you wonder what the real reason the US banned Huawei. Could they have been approached as a potential manufacturer and they said no? The timeline certainly works.

It is absolutely antisemitic. Fiddler on the Roof is about the Jewish culture and has nothing to do with Zionism or Israel.

This would be like protesting against Saudi Arabia actions at an Eid festival.

Yes. But it’s not like we’re importing humans from other planets.

Is this racism, or are there genuine concerns (they took er jerbs?)

What if we elect Trump and he gets rid of safety standards, could we import it then?

I don’t think anyone wants to see that.

Maybe we can get Kushner’s laptop.

I mean the US did their part in bombing civilians over the years. They’re considered the “world police” not because they’re good, but simply because nobody can challenge them.

Think about how much they got away with before the internet made it possible to scrutinize their activities.

Put that into context of governments seeking to restrict access to information: the US ban on TikTok for instance.

Police spokesman Georgian Dragan told local television station Digi24 that the suspect’s motives were personal and not motivated by Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip.

It’s really simple, I think. If you don’t want to be accused of being a war criminal, don’t commit war crimes.

This guy wasn’t allowed to serve in the IDF due to his involvment with groups designated by the Israeli government as terrorists.

As bad as the IDF is, I can’t even imagine how much worse the IDF would be if they let actual terrorists in its ranks.

Can we cut funding to Israel now? Claims of genocide aren’t founded on bullshit.

Guys, vote for us again and we promise we’ll stop him next time.

Edit: don’t forget Biden called it outrageous that the ICC has labelled Netanyahu a war criminal.

Well the women in this case were dead. So it was a man doing the accusing.

It’s actually YOUR country that goes around the world assassinating people in their own lands.

Oh I don’t live in the US.

Was it diplomatic to attack an embassy in another country?

When did Israel act gentlemanly?

What’s the likelihood that this was an Israeli assassination?

Ah yes that moment when we’re reminded that it’s only okay for the US and its allies to conduct military and naval drills.
