> What trust do you feel was violated?
Well, all of our trust that our phones aren’t surprise explosive devices. As well as the devices in the pockets of the people next to us in a crowd.
- dotancohen 2y agoI'm so sorry that this war has inconvenienced you. I've had friends and coworkers murdered, kidnapped, and at least two that I know of had their children burned to death. My older daughter's friend was murdered along with both his brothers and both his parents - there was nobody left alive so this child didn't even have the traditional prayer said at his funeral. My younger son's camp counselor was kidnapped and later his body was retrieved. Shall I go on? Or would you believe me that this war has far worse inconvenienced us and we're doing what we can to end it as quickly as possible - including maiming 3000 enemy fighters in an attack so targeted that a single civilian child died among over a dozen dead militants and 3000 injured militants.

- 8note 2y agoSorry, are you a Palestinian or Israeli? Lebanese? I can imagine everyone having exactly the same story and wanting to kill as many possible of their enemies for the same reasons. But it's unrelated to "nobody in the whole world can trust anything with a lithium battery anymore" and the cost of that over time will be much higher than your dead family and friends, in terms of say, people dying in hospitals over the next 30 years because pagers stop being used, or all kinds of anything where a battery powered device would save a life
- xethos 2y agoThe point was not "War is only awful if it affects me", but more "War must be kept to the battlefield, or society will break down further"
- kjdkjdsfdsj 2y agoIf that were actually true you wouldn't be using your phone right now, or you were at least somewhat hesitant to pick it up - and somehow I doubt you are. If you were in Lebanon, that would be a different story, but making it some global feeling is pretty bs.
- mcphage 2y agoI have levels of trust in between "fully trust" and "do not trust in any way". Do I think my phone is a bomb? No. Do I think this technique will be used again, by someone other than Israel? Yeah, I think so.
- kjdkjdsfdsj 2y agoOk, but are you actually truly worried that it will happen to your phone out of the blue? My point is a lot of crap in the world happen, I don't see this being something that will actually occupy anyones mind unless they're in job/role that puts them in harms way.
- mcphage 2y ago> Ok, but are you actually truly worried that it will happen to your phone out of the blue? More worried than I was a few days ago, at least.
