“you seem not to (or have chosen not to) understand [the parallel?] the first two times
When I typed that I hadn’t spotted my own typo yet. Sorry.
If that’s the case, you’re making it so easy for me other people might think we’re in cahoots
I don’t care in the least if anyone thinks I’m in cahoots with anyone; it won’t change that I’m in cahoots with no one.
You can, of course, think differently.
Typo notwithstanding, it remains true that I do think differently, and if your argument boils down to what has actually been banned vs an understanding of how absolutely heartless and tragic it is to deploy a bunch of explosive pagers that will randomly move around a populated area because you want to kill a limited set of bad guys in that area, there is nothing left for us to discuss.
It was in a batch specifically meant for Hezbollah operatives.
Yes, I understand that. And those Hezbollah operatives can lose their pagers, have them stolen, or they themselves canmove randomly through populated areas with the hidden bomb strapped to their hip. You don’t think any of these “operatives” do anything but sit all day in a cartoon-style bad guy lair surrounded by other bad guys? They never go to buy groceries, or stop at a hospital or school, or have their devices stolen or lost in some random location? As I have said repeatedly, these devices were deployed in a manner that has absolutely no mechanism by which to control where they actually are and who else is in proximity to them when detonated.
Either we are just incapable of communicating effectively with each other, or you are being intentionally obtuse.

I did, it’s been in every comment of mine and in the rest of the sentence after the bit you cherrypicked.
Once we hit this point, further discussion was likely pointless anyhow. Please let’s end this discussion here. Thank you!

Again I say good day to you.
