Lebanese Labor Minister Mustafa Bayram has filed a complaint against Israel with the UN's International Labour Organization (ILO) over deadly attacks involving exploding pagers in September.
Bayram called the attacks — which reportedly killed 37 people, including two children, and wounded another 3K — an "egregious war against humanity, against technology, against work."
Israel's pager attack was a blatant act of terrorism, with UN officials having already described it as such months ago. Though many of the victims of this attack posed no threat and were not part of a military, Israel chose to kill indiscriminately. As Israeli soldiers continue to commit atrocities and even brag about them publicly, the UN must take action against this murderous regime.
Israel's pager attack was a military operation against a military/terrorist target. The Mossad specifically made these pagers knowing they'd be used by Hezbollah operatives, ensuring those going to civilians were safe. The UN should be focused on how Hezbollah has continued to bomb northern Israel since Oct. 7. Terrorists should be condemned for terrorism, not countries defending themselves.
