This most certainly is not “World News”. This is a self-promoting opinion piece bordering on conspiracy theory.

To me, this attack has the master’s prints all over it — the USA had to be involved.

Edit: I really don’t understand how this article is still up. This is written as a theory of how explosive material could have been inserted into pagers. I find the piece compelling and of interest but it is not news - it’s speculation. Is it now okay to post recipes from around the world in worldnews?

This article is an analysis of a recent global event, speculation of the probable cause, and some discussion of the broader implications. It makes perfect sense to be in world news.

You seem to have had a strong emotional reaction to the suggestion that the US might have helped Israel carry out a particular ttack on another country. We’re you aware that this happens literally every day?

Speculation from some random on the internet is not world news.

I have a strong opinion about people promoting their own speculation blog in a forum where that does not belong.

Isn’t it world news that “Israel” attacked Lebanon twice with compromised pagers, or do articles have to come from state-approved sources to be considered news?

This is a self-promoting opinion piece boring on conspiracy theory.

What makes you say “conspiracy theory” exactly?

You’re not a journalist and speculation is not news. You’re a basement dweller with no first hand account of anything.

There are appropriate places for your work. This is not the place.

You didn’t answer any of my questions and your hostility is more funny than anything. Do you also get this kneejerk reaction when the NYT or the Guardian publish an opinion piece calling to bomb Iran? Because these count as news, they’re published in real newspapers after all!

You’re not a journalist

from reading, don’t believe you (oxjox) happen to even know who CriticalResist8 is let alone who he works for or anything else and that what you want to spread as truth about him (her?) really only is your weak personal shortthought quick-response-cause-i-can-insult-someone opinion. But of course i do not “know” if that is true about you even though i happen to believe that now. how could i know?

i didn’t think CR8 was a journalist either, but i wouldn’t state that i knew he wasn’t until i actually know that as a fact. Do you know that as a fact? Did you check his identity, papers or such?

There are appropriate places for your work. This is not the place.

please, oxjox, do not spread untrue informations or unproven guesses as truth about other people here, lemmy is not a place for such or any type of insults. thank you for not doing such again !!

Well they most certainly didn’t use a separate RF transmitter. The pagers are connected and can be remote controlled that way. I heard elsewhere they also triggered the explosives by heating up the battery.

Bet on America being evil and doing every evil thing and you’ll be right 99% of the time.
