There is all-out and there is all-out. Israel does have at least a couple of divisions already up there, though, and there are political (among other) reasons why Israel may feel like expanding the conflict now.
While I have little sympathy for Hezbollah, I can imagine the pager beeping and the kid picking it up to hand to a parent. That’s not really irresponsible parenting. Well, it wasn’t until yesterday.
(emphasis mine)
Why not? If the leader of Hezbollah were captured, couldn’t they be tried for war crimes committed under their leadership?
obviously it’s terribly sad for the innocent child.
But the irresponsible thing is being a parent and choosing to work as a terrorist.
If you love your child, you can raise her by choosing to be a janitor, a truck driver, or a professor of Greek philosophy.
And then, just as they get out the radios to check them - kaboom!
This is a key point. The story is being reported as if this is a surprise blow out of nowhere. But in fact, Hezbollah has launched something like 7,500 rockets at Israel since Oct 7.
What if you love your child and want to create a better future for them - a future free from any disgusting Jews? To understand a Hezbollonchik, you must think like one.
I agree. I would be disappointed in our CIA if they didn’t. Maybe they could skip Nauru.
This is claimed to be the model of walkie-talkie-owie used. It is “discontinued–no longer available”.
Love that term 
Someone didn’t read the specs closely enough:
The Gruniad has an article that traced the pagers (via a very upset Taiwanese supplier) to a Hungarian subcontractor who have no indication of ever actually making any pagers. The implication is this subcontractor was a front and actually these pagers were manufactured by Israel:
According to Al Jazeera there are reports of several different devices blowing up
Among them are walkie-talkie radios, mobile phones, laptops and even some solar energy systems. Several cars reportedly exploded as well, but it is not clear if those were caused by the car itself exploding or something inside it.
I didn’t spend extensive time digging, but I can’t find any Apollo AR924 pagers actually for sale anywhere–even sites like Ebay–though you can buy Apollo AL924 pagers. The product page disappeared the day of the explosion. That continues to make me suspicious that the AR924 was designed for and sold to only one customer and was always the explody model. (I don’t know if I should read anything into the Gruniad illustration saying the pager should weigh 90 grams and the archived product page saying it weighs 95 grams.)
And then they get killed by a bomb, a drone strike, or a soldier anyway. This is the same logic commonly used for indiscriminate killing. Heck, Hezbollah could use the same “look what you made me do” reasoning to justify its killings easily enough.
This is a terror attack. It won’t be called that because Israel is a nation-state and “terrorist is what the big army calls the little army”, but that doesn’t change the reality of it. If Hezbollah did the same thing everyone would be screaming at how it’s horrible terrorist attack.
You’ll forgive my lack of tears for the poow innocent widdle tewwowists.
And everyone else who got hurt.
And I doubt you’d have the same reaction if it was Israelis being bombed.
Correct. And you know what? I also didn’t cry when the Death Star got blown up.
So you’d be happy if Israel nuked Lebanon?
Yes, because clearly a nuclear first strike is exactly like tricking terrorists into buying pagers that caused them a minor injury. 
What are you talking about? There have been 20 dead and of the hundreds injured many of course are life-changing injuries.
From this Washington Post article (gift link below):
Perhaps Hezbollah should have thought about that before they started launching missiles at soccer fields where children were playing.
