    This is from the link you provided.

    More than 3,500 people were injured.

    So now you’re saying we can’t trust the link you gave us?

      But it’s you that’s suggesting those injured are all civilians

      If not, how many of them are?

          Well if they had around 3.000 pagers exploding…

          I’m kidding, of course!

          All 3.000 Hezbros (bar the 30 that died) must have already passed their secure one-way pagers handed to them by the Hezbollah leadership on to unsuspecting civilians. After all, who wouldn’t want to be carrying around a mysterious one-way pager that periodically shows you cryptic messages?? “Hello Nighthawk. Ze goats are riding ze bicycles. I repeat: ze goats are…” KABOOOM

            Got it. Shrapnel is not a thing that happens when there are explosions. Weird, I always thought it was a thing and that when you’re in a crowd and the bomb planted on you explodes, that shrapnel goes into all the people around you. But they were probably terrorists too, am I right? After all, they exist in Lebanon and I’m told that existing in Palestine makes one a terrorist and it’s right nearby.

            But the important thing here is that you found a way to make light of dead children and turn it all into a joke. That really makes you look good.

              Are you now suggesting that the average Hezbro came off unharmed, and only the people in the vicinity were hurt?

              Did you see any of the leaked videos? Did you see the remains of exploded devices?

              I’ve got a mild feeling you’re just discarding all the information that’s available to you, instead clinging to some weird unsubstantiated hope that this mostly hit civilians

                No. I am not suggesting that. And the only way you could possibly believe that is what I was suggesting is if you didn’t actually read my post.

                  Can you explain how you came to the conclusion that most of the 3500 injured people must have been civilians?

                    I did not come to such a conclusion, nor did I make such a claim.

                    You are the one who made the claims here:

                    Now, you have lied twice that I said that most or all of the injured were civilians. I would not advise you to do it a third time.
