I am starting a splinter group because I found the rules of "Israel and Palestine Politics Discussion" to be somewhat restrictive.

I agree, i am simply comparing to the actions in Gaza, and asking for more information. I don't know if pagers can receive messages while flying in an airplane, and two children amongst 3000 injuries is hell of a lot better than what they have achieved in Palestine.
I will not argue for any point, as I have pointed out that there seem to be a lot of contradicting and misleading information around on the attack. I am simply trying to dig into and compare what people are being told about it. Some places it is presented like only a handful of the injured were actual targets. Other places, they say that the majority of the injured were active key Hizbollah members, and that the media is highlighting the few innocent who were accidentally involved
I don't have time to teach you media literacy. Obviously you're going to compare resources, look for primary sources first of all and secondary sources etc. Ask these questions, could the person who sent the pagers to Lebanon know who's hands they would ultimately end up in and whose hands they were in when they were detonated?
I am sorry to take up your time, but you are welcome to now reply!
According to local news (Central Europe) the pagers were ordered by Hizbollah. Expecting them to be used by Hizbollah is therefore very likelly, especially considering the intell that Hassan Nasrallah announced in july that phones were no longer safe to use. The sender has said that they were not involved, so meddling must have been made in the transit between the sender and ther reciever.
Listen, I am not arguing any points, I am presenting the contradicting information available and asking what people around the world know. If 3000 pagers were sold to Hizbollah and 3000 got injured, that is a pretty good success, even though random innocents (including children) were affected. On the other hand, if 20 pagers were rigged, and 3000 got hurt, then it is blatant and dangerous warfare that can indeed be compared to terrorism. The information does not add up though
