      It’s interesting who we call terrorists and who we don’t. If an Arab nation or organization had done this it would have been called a terrorist attack. Israel does it and people defend it.

      Terrorist is a meaningless scare word for “people we don’t like”.

        Ok, but this is NCD. Would you like a flute of Trader Joe’s finest champagne? It’s not very good, but it’s free.

        ‘Terrorist’ is a shorthand for ‘Terrorist we don’t like’

      We read on the news ‘Hezbollah pagers’ and assume that this was a targeted attack. But are we sure? What does it even mean? Who and how got those devices?

        Hezbollah handed out these pagers to their combatants a few days before they exploded. Some were even still in their packaging.
