Hezbollah pager explosions

oh but it’s not even subtle unlike your whataboutery

”Despite the disclaimer by some Muslims, the truth is very clear. The 

72 Virgins

notion has its origins in the Qur'an. Although the holy book does not specify the number as 72, it does say that those who fight in the way of Allah and are killed will be given a great reward. It goes on to stipulate that Muslims will be awarded with women in Islamic heaven. It even describes their physical attributes—large eyes (Q 56:22) and big, firm, round "swelling breasts" that are not inclined to sagging (Q 78:33). The Qur'an refers to these virgins as houri, companions of equal age, but the highly-flavored emphasis of their bodily characteristics, including their virginity, gave rise to many hadiths and other Islamic writings. 

Hadith 2687 is where the number 72 is mentioned. "The smallest reward for the people of Heaven is an abode where there are eighty thousand servants and 72 houri, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine and ruby, as wide as the distance from al-Jabiyyah to San'a."

Qur'anic commentator Al-Suyuti (died 1505) and Orthodox Muslim theologians such as al Ghazali (died 1111 CE) and Al-Ash'ari (died 935 CE) graphically elaborated sensual pleasures attributed to Muslims in paradise". Al-Suyuti wrote, "Each time we sleep with a Houri we find her virgin. Besides, the penis of the Elected never softens. The erection is eternal; the sensation that you feel each time you make love is utterly delicious and out of this world and were you to experience it in this world you would faint. Each chosen one [i.e. Muslim] will marry seventy houris, besides the women he married on earth, and all will have appetizing vaginas."

On the whole, the Qur'an and the hadiths are filled with sexual fantasies that Muslim men are awarded when they reach Islamic heaven. Anas bin Malik, an Islamic scholar, claimed that "The Prophet used to visit all his wives in a round, during the day and night and they were eleven in number…The Prophet was given the strength of thirty (men)." Muhammad (hadith 24) apparently claimed that devout Muslimswould be given the sexual strength of 100 persons upon their arrival in Heaven. (This is apparently more than what was attributed to the prophet himself).

The sexual obsession by Muslim men as conveyed by Islamic writings, takes its cue from the founder of the religion.  The description depicts him as a sexual predator. Aisha, Muhammad's wife since she was a nine-year-old girl, described her sexual experiences with the prophet. When she was six years old, he could not have intercourse with her due to her young age. As a consolation prize, he placed his penis between her thighs and massaged it softly. Aisha explained that unlike other believers, the prophet had control over his penis."

Being consistent with its sexual obsession and predatory practices, the Qur'an permits pedophilia (sura 65:4). It also discusses rape in detail. It lets you know that men can rape female slaves and captives (Q 23:6), even in front of their husbands (Q 4:24). Other writings advise that when having sex with captives, it's better if you don't pull out at the end (Sahih Bukhari 3:46:718).”

one doubts hezbollah whipped out their credit card and bought electronics from israel so far taiwan is only clue

Them BRICS “allies”

israeli thinking on hezbollah terrorists after pager strike - looks like the plan was to sow chaos in the iranian backed terrorist group perhaps before an israeli campaign in lebanon to make northern israel safe for civilians again:

"Effective groups, whether militaries, terrorist groups, cartels, gangs, or corporations, need to have good communication. A group like Hezbollah needs this to mobilize people and coordinate attacks. It can’t coordinate the launch of large numbers of missiles if it can’t get men to the launchers. Hezbollah requires a way to get in touch with its fighters. It will need to scramble now to replace its pagers or other devices."

It seems to be like something you’d do before launching a ground invasion and if they’ve had these pagers for 5 months already and only decided to detonate it today I think that gives more credence to that theory.

Dead children. "Genius stuff".

is it really that genius though.

(non-partisan).

They Were designed to cause a very small explosion, which is why there were thousands injured and only ten killed - even if a group of these terrorists were all sitting in a couple of rows, this would not have taken down a normal jet.

The level of support for Hezbollah and Hamas here is mind-boggling.

Listen, when innocent people are hurt and it's called out, that's what's happening here. It doesn't indicate support for a terrorist group.

It's bizarre leaps in logic that lead to this point. Hezbollah are a terrorist group. They're bad because they commit terror attacks. These attacks are indiscriminate. they hurt civilians and are designed to cause terror.

Yet if we apply the same standards to the israeli state, when they commit acts designed to cause terror, we're suddenly on the side of Hezbollah.

So let's set things straight. Hezbollah are scum. Hamas are scum. They are scum because of their actions. However, the israeli state, especially under it's current far right government, are scum too. They're all scum because of their actions.

This is the point where someone calls me antisemitic. However for some reason, no-one ever calls me Islamophobic or anti arab.

Report in IT saying:

Sky News Arabia reported that Mossad, the Israeli national intelligence agency, got hold of the pagers before they were recently delivered to the militants and placed a quantity of PETN, a highly explosive material, on the batteries of the devices, and detonated them by remotely raising the temperature of the batteries.

There has to be more to it than that. You can't just remotely raise the temperature of the batteries on random devices, in a predictable way, unless you have control over the software running on the device. I'd say Israel are leaking information selectively here.

because for the last 50 years I’ve had to look at them killing people on the news year in year out , Israel kill children , women … it doesn’t seem to matter … they seem to love killing the locals along with stealing all their land and then playing the victim card themselves …. Horrible nation

SKY NEWS WERE THE ONE WHO TOLD US 8 PLANES HAD CRASHED IN 9/11

This is an appalling indiscriminate attack

Lebanon used to be a wonderful place a generation ago, it was a centre of commerce and often described as a playground of the middle east - these islamists want to turn it into a caliphate with no room for any non-muslims of the hard core variety; we could say much the same about Iran, so I really wonder what these have in common

According to the Taiwanese company the pagers were made in Europe. Should be quite easy to track down soon enough.

You are victim blaming and you are justifying the death of a child

Genius?

Firstly it's not Hezbollah, it's indiscriminate civilians. It's absolutely obscene.

Genius? You probably like the ingenuity of cluster bombs too.

This "war" beggars belief. There are obviously faults on every side but the amount of innocent people killed or seriously injured in the conflict since October alone is beyond sad.

This latest attack is the most worrying of all - until the details are out anyway - it appears to be a completely indiscrimate attack on individuals with no care for the consequences of/for collateral damage.

I will be interested to hear how this was done, purely from a security standpoint as it should worry everyone globally, how state actors have the capability to pull this type of attack off.

I wonder how the guys who tamper with these devices feel. Do they love their job? Like these things are designed to explode at children's eye-level. Does that occur to them?

Sounds like a dream job for some people on here but surely not everyone is like that.

Expanding your territory is not defending your country and people

no matter what people use they can be compromised.

Reports that the tamper had been discovered so was decided to page them before anything got out

Logical scenario as doing it during a ground invasion would have been the objective.

It's taking out its enemies who started attacking it last Oct.

It's just acting rationally.
