    Fundamental difference: when Mossad (or whoever) deliberately put chemicals in pagers that they knew were bound for Hezbollah operatives, they were making a precision strike against terrorists. That considerably reduces the collateral damage. The terrorists, on the other hand, just try to kill anyone that they can, whether they be the targets or anyone that just happened to be in the vicinity. The rag heads mostly seem to be opposed to anyone that is not a brain dead follower of their barbaric medieval cult.

    Strangely, the statistics seem to back the argument (as made by Israel) that targeting known terrorists significantly cuts ‘collateral damage’ even when the terrorists are using their future terrorist converts as human shields. It would seem to make logical sense that killing the children now would end the problem with terrorists more quickly as there would be no-one left to recruit. Perhaps David Lammy should suggest that to them...

    The Jews are pretty good at killing innocent people too .

    Carpet bombing apartment blocks isn't exactly a surgical strike

    Would that be those apartment blocks that they tell the residents to leave because they are going to flatten them as Hamas are hiding out in the tunnels that they have dug underneath them?

    No, but I do not believe the fabricated casualty statistics coming from Hamas that the likes of the BBC and others run as if they were independently verified facts.

    Hamas are responsible for most, if not all of the Palestinian deaths. That region has a very long history of using civilians as shields.

    Collateral damage is just a sad fact of war. Every military expert that has reviewed Israeli tactics has concluded that they are going above and beyond what is needed to minimise them.

    I personally don't care how many Jews or Palestinians die killing each other , my point was that blowing people up with pagers is terrorism if muslims or Jews do it .

    It's a directed attack against a designated terrorist group. The only people that had those devices were terrorists. If there were children caught in the blast, that too is down to the terrorist not taking care of their family or friends.

    It's interesting that the Iranian politician had one.

    The current projection is that repairs will be completed and the ship will be transferred back to the Russian Navy sometime in 2024, however this may be pushed back to 2025 if issues arise during overhaul and testing.

    Bit desperate no? Sending a specialised boat crew to the front?

    Maybe you should count and compare the casualties again

    Pagers were exploding in shops they were sold from

    Children were killed and maimed

    One went off in an airport in Greece

    Doctors and medical staff had the same pagers

    It was a terrorist attack and if you condon it you condone terrorism

    And that's fine...but just be honest

    You think the crew of an airplane carrier is easily replaceable?

    You think it's normal to send your 'sailors' to the front in a mechanised brigade?

    And I'm coping?
