    Alleged agent of Hezbollah receives the pager. Alleged agent places it on a table at home. Alleged agent’s innocent daughter picks it off the table and uses it as a toy prop. Signal is sent, pager explodes, and kills the daughter.

    There’s an plethora of situations that could occur that result in an explosive pager being deployed while in the hands of someone not a Hezbollah agent, and that’s if we take it at face value that Mossad can identify who is and isn’t a Hezbollah agent. Wouldn’t be the first time they’ve been overzealous and killed an innocent person. May they be judged accordingly by their Maker.

      Anybody with access to secure coms knows that they’re not permitted to allow others to access the device, including family members. So your situation is inherently implausible and ultimately comes down to the agent themselves not following the rules, with devastating consequences to their family.

      But they didn’t occur. So they couldn’t have occurred.

      that’s if we take it at face value that Mossad can identify who is and isn’t a Hezbollah agent.

      No, we just have to take it at face value that Hezbollah can identify who is and isn’t a Hezbollah agent. So that they give them a secure pager. Why wouldn’t that be the case?

        1. Bullshit, unless you’re privy to the internal workings of alleged Hezbollah agents. Where’s your documented proof?

        2. So you claim that 10 year old girl who died was a Hezbollah agent? I’d sooner think you’re spewing more bullshit.

        3. See #2.

        I’ll also propose a counterargument: Mossad, the IDF, and Israeli gov’t in general doesn’t give two shits about collateral damage, how many innocent civilians they kill, and whether or not the intended target is a Hezbollah agent (or Hamas, for that matter). If they kill a thousand innocents for every genuine terrorist, that’s a good day in their book. “Innocent before proven guilty” doesn’t exist in their world view. Guilty by association is.

        If that’s not true, they’ve got a lot of work ahead of them to improve their public image. The whole lot of them are no better than the terrorists they claim to be fighting against

          But that’s false. You’re just imagining that.

          There wouldn’t still be a war in Gaza if that were the case.

          If they kill a thousand innocents for every genuine terrorist, that’s a good day in their book.

          Why one? Why not zero?
