    But it’s you that’s suggesting those injured are all civilians

    If not, how many of them are?

        Well if they had around 3.000 pagers exploding…

        I’m kidding, of course!

        All 3.000 Hezbros (bar the 30 that died) must have already passed their secure one-way pagers handed to them by the Hezbollah leadership on to unsuspecting civilians. After all, who wouldn’t want to be carrying around a mysterious one-way pager that periodically shows you cryptic messages?? “Hello Nighthawk. Ze goats are riding ze bicycles. I repeat: ze goats are…” KABOOOM

          Got it. Shrapnel is not a thing that happens when there are explosions. Weird, I always thought it was a thing and that when you’re in a crowd and the bomb planted on you explodes, that shrapnel goes into all the people around you. But they were probably terrorists too, am I right? After all, they exist in Lebanon and I’m told that existing in Palestine makes one a terrorist and it’s right nearby.

          But the important thing here is that you found a way to make light of dead children and turn it all into a joke. That really makes you look good.

            Are you now suggesting that the average Hezbro came off unharmed, and only the people in the vicinity were hurt?

            Did you see any of the leaked videos? Did you see the remains of exploded devices?

            I’ve got a mild feeling you’re just discarding all the information that’s available to you, instead clinging to some weird unsubstantiated hope that this mostly hit civilians

              No. I am not suggesting that. And the only way you could possibly believe that is what I was suggesting is if you didn’t actually read my post.

                Can you explain how you came to the conclusion that most of the 3500 injured people must have been civilians?

                  I did not come to such a conclusion, nor did I make such a claim.

                  You are the one who made the claims here:

                  Now, you have lied twice that I said that most or all of the injured were civilians. I would not advise you to do it a third time.

                    I would advise you to read your own posts again

                    Yes, I am claiming most of the injured must have been Hezbro’s. You clearly seem to have taken the opposite position in this post:

                    Now your claim is that most or all of the 3500 injured were terrorists? Really?

                    When talking about the civilian casualties you claimed I was ignoring:

                    the thousands of wounded and the other 10 dead people

                    So you have the 2 children (clearly civilians) and the other 10 people wiki states were civilians sandwiching these ‘thousands of wounded’ that I’m ‘ignoring in my calculation’. Why would you add those ‘thousands of wounded that I’m ignoring’ in there if not to claim that they were civilians and not Hezbros??

                    Why would you post that first quote if you yourself agree that most of those injured were actually Hezbros and not civilians (something you’re advising me not to challenge)?

                    This could all be cleared up really easily if you just say how many of the injured you think are civilians and what you’re basing that on
