This isn't my usual kind of ranty post, but I need to get this off my chest.
The pager explosions story. Why is the western media treating this as shrewd politics? For instance, Jeremy Bowen on the BBC "A tactical triumph for Israel". Axios and Al-Monitor "It was a use it or lose it moment, says a US official".
The deliberate injuring, maiming, and killing of civilians is not clever politics. This is wrong; ethically, morally and legally.
How can anyone condone this?
My thought for #Today
@justinfarrimond why are we not condemning the originators of this attack as terrorists. And if shown to be state sponsored, not organising sanctions against that state?
Perhaps because we fear the state that probably did this.
@epistatacadam There's money in death. These kind of actions boost the bottom line of the stock exchange. We are in thrall to the almighty dollar.
