    That particular pager was in a bag, against a person, pointed away from anyone or anything else. Not to mention anything of the second attack, which used much larger charges and started fires and blew out windows across Lebanon.

    And anyway, a single example isn’t going to assuage anyone who has been reading reports of women and children dying from the attack.

      They’re also ignoring the literal terror being experienced by civilians who witnessed people’s legs and faces being blown off in public.

      That’s terrorism.

      Where else would you carry a pager? You have to feel it when it vibrates.

      Not to mention anything of the second attack, which used much larger charges and started fires and blew out windows across Lebanon.

      Well, I’m sorry to hear that Lebanon’s glazers just got several months of guaranteed work, I guess, but I’m otherwise not sure why this is relevant.

      And anyway, a single example isn’t going to assuage anyone who has been reading reports of women and children dying from the attack.

      What reports?

          Because you were claiming the explosions were too small to “bruise and apple”

          ok, and how is that refuted by the physical description of an ambulance?

              You posted a description of an ambulance, down to the color of its lights and the presence of people standing nearby looking on.

              What was the relevance of that?
