@lemmy.worldThe BBC reported it was a Taiwanese brand to let a Hungarian company manufacture them on their behalf. The pagers were brought to Lebanon 5 months ago. The Hungarian company has been around since about 2022.
For this to be a supply chain attack, the level of sophistication indicates Israeli intelligence was at this for years, from setting up a shell company, infiltrating manufacturing companies, etc. We don't know whether the Taiwanese company was compromised as well.
Now this last part is a bit of a conspiracy theory, but it makes you wonder what the real reason the US banned Huawei. Could they have been approached as a potential manufacturer and they said no? The timeline certainly works.

Times have also changed. The information available on our fingertips is showing that things are not as black and white as they seem. Back during the world wars, mass propaganda convinced us to go fight for imperialist reasons (remember, we did not go to war with Nazis over their treatment of the Jews).
It's a lot harder to convince a populace to go to war when it's not clear the opponent is entirely in the wrong.
It is absolutely antisemitic. Fiddler on the Roof is about the Jewish culture and has nothing to do with Zionism or Israel.
This would be like protesting against Saudi Arabia actions at an Eid festival.
Nobody said anything about combining alcohol and weed.
I said that if you compared alcohol and junk food consumption against weed consumption, you will find that alcohol and junk food (again, not in combination) are objectively worse.
I added marijuana in brackets because I didn't want some idiot to come and argue how cocaine would be worse.
Depending on the drug (marijuana), your alcohol and junk food consumption would be objectively worse.
Edit: Apparently people lack basic comprehension.
