What Israel just did in Beirut Lebanon, a country they are NOT currently at war with, committed 2 acts of terrorism over the course of 2 days.
Israel's intelligence agency Mossad determined Hezbollah leadership had told all of its members to carry pagers rather than cell phones as they were worried Israel was tracking them (they were). Next, the agents of Mossad with the IDF proceeded to intercept this shipment of pagers
Who carries pagers these days, you ask? First and foremost, it's doctors, nurses, emts, firefighters, many of whom were seriously injured. Secondly, yes, Hezbollah was the target, and they carry pagars. Hezbollah is an internationally recognised terrorist organisation, BUT it is also a political party in Lebanon. There are MANY civilians who are part of that party, and by extension, Hezbollah. Imagine, if Russia did this to Ukraine, how outraged would we be?
The thing is, what they won't say out loud and must rely on dogwhistles for instead.
The civilians ARE the targets.
Terrorism is defined as the use of violence or intimidation, often against civilians, to further political goals. These actions can not be described as anything less than terrorism.
Israel REGULARLY engages in this kind of behavior. Engages in, let's be clear, actions, even in a context where Israel wasn't involved that would be denounced as terrorism if done by brown people.
This is because currently, Israel is a terrorist State. The leadership of Israel is plainly and overtly expansionist and exterminationist. The comparison of Israel to that of Nazi Germany is disturbingly striking. Down to the camps they have like Sde Teiman where Palestinian civilians are r*p*d and tortured for fun, like in places the soldiers cal "The Disco Room"
