All of Israel is occupied Palestinian territory.
Regardless, this is non-binding. I don’t expect it to do anything.

The explanation is that it’s random. Generate enough random strings and you’re bound to get everything.
Our thoughts?
This is entirely symbolic. The guy is already in prison and would never be able to pay that.
Yup!
Not that that’s new. They’ve been assassinating people around the world for decades: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Israeli_assassinations
Hell, they bombed a hotel even before Israel itself was established: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_David_Hotel_bombing
They seize assets in the US.
No, I don’t think we can assume that at this point.
I assume they use the cell phone network these days, so any in flight probably weren’t able to receive the signal. On board but not at elevation is a pretty small window, so the number could be as small as zero.
Most providers in the US allow it too. It’s great that Germany has it enshrined in law, but in practice it’s not the exception.
It’s plausible. If the pager had some kind of battery that could explode if charged, discharged, or shorted in some way, and the controller could be compromised, then it’d be possible to make it explode.
Remember, Israel worked on the Stuxnet attack that destroyed Iranian uranium centrifuges by infecting their controllers, making them go too fast, and destroying themselves.
Sort of. I feel like I report half the posts around here because they’re neither news nor articles.
Yeah, I don’t think they were the exclusive users of these pagers. I know in the US, pagers are still used by hospital staff, for example. So if a doctor with one of these pagers has one on a bus, and it explodes, it hits a doctor and a few people around them. Not necessarily any Hezbollah (who Israel really shouldn’t be assassinating in the first place).
Not that Israel really cares about killing innocent people. Even beyond the current genocide, and in 1946, even before Israel existed, Irgun bombed a hotel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_David_Hotel_bombing
You know how the 2a guys go “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED”? Should the 2a guys start going “SHALL MAKE NO LAW”?
Not much. The hard part is developing the trigger mechanism. After that, you just need a guy doing assembly to add the extra part. Or you stop the truck when it leaves the factory and delay it a day while you install the parts.
I was thinking the same thing. This isn’t your Nokia IED where you just wire the ringer to the detonator. There must be some additional circuitry to handle a special signal. A pre-programmed high-pitched ring for certain numbers maybe? Or a little logic chip to recognize numbers or messages?
In my experience, he doesn’t read anything beyond the comment he’s replying to.
Noted, I will avoid it. Thanks for the warning.
Tariffs change. Especially when Trump or another nutcase is in office.
