The Spin

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 andin evenGaza bragand aboutnow them publiclyLebanon, the UN must take action against this murderous regime.

Israel's pager attack was a military operation against a military/terrorist target, as it specifically had them made knowing they'd be used by Hezbollah operatives and ensured 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.
