The exploding-pager attack in Lebanon is yet another Israeli attempt to provoke a wider Middle East war.
It comes after several previous, highly-inflammatory Israeli actions aimed to do the same thing:
- The assassination of Hezbollah leader Fuad Shukr in Beirut
- The assassination of Hamas Leader Ismail Hanniyah who was negotiating a ceasefire agreement with Israel. The assassination took place in Iran in a flagrant breach of Iranian sovereignty
- The Israeli missile attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria which killed several top Iranian officials
The New Zealand government has previous urged all parties to refrain from actions that would escalate Israel’s war on Gaza into a wider Middle East war.
“With this latest attack our government must condemn Israel” says PSNA National Chair John Minto. “Israel is an out-of-control rogue state which is an imminent danger to peace and security the world over”
“Many times the government has urged all sides to step back from a wider war but Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu is determined to expand death and destruction across the region”
“Netanyahu’s doing this to avoid the collapse of his far-right government and his looming trial on bribery and corruption charges.”
“Pious words from our Prime Minister will be ineffective. Condemnation and sanctions against this pariah state are long overdue”
Meh… Hezbollah and Hamas are recognised terrorist organisations that attack Israel, they cannot hide from Israeli ingenuity nor their intelligence network.
If you join Hezbollah or Hamas you are fair game.
I must admit, the exploding pager plot was ingenious. The terrorists must be shitting themselves wondering what’s next.
9/11 was ingenious.
6 Muslims with knives defeated the most powerful military in the world.
Now 340 million Americans need ten million security forces to protect them all day every day.
But they can’t even stop an old guy pointing a Gun at the idiot Trump.
How they gonna stop the Palestinians getting revenge?
Its just a matter of time before we see 9/11 just ten times more damaging.
Laughing on the other side of what’s left of their faces.
lol, ok zionist. No human being considers Hamas or Hezbollah to be ‘terrorists’. Protecting human beings from zionist rape monsters like you makes you a hero, not a ‘terrorist’.
And you little anti zionist – did the Hammas invasion of Israel that precipitated this conflict not rape and murder Israelis? All a matter of perspective really. I do concede to Israel have gone too far in terms of ‘collateral damage’ and the response – but to pretend that only one side has committed atrocities is just BS. If Hammas was serious about peace they would release all remaining hostages and Israel would pull back.
Bob, Hamas hasn’t murdered 40.000+ you idol state has big difference! And the rapes and beheadings of babies didn’t happen and most of the Israeli killed were by their own IDF soldiers called operation Hannibal true story bro!
No, there is no more evidence of ‘rape’ or ‘murder’ of zionist occupiers than there was for the 40 beheaded babies. The idea is laughable
Haha! You even turned the Lefty Jews against you. No Jew will ever again go into the Mohammed oven.
Once Iran is attacked and destroyed you will suddenly find Hamas and Hezbollah will disintegrate as no Iranian backed funds/weapons will be forthcoming.
Iran’s days are numbered….not before time.
Pakepakeha, Hezbollah ‘Party of God’ is a Lebanese Shia Islamist political party and paramilitary group Hezbollah’s paramilitary wing is the Jihad Council, and its political wing is the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc party in the Lebanese Parliament. Its armed strength was assessed to be equivalent to that of a medium-sized army in 2016.
If Hezbollah is a terrorist group than the same could be said about decades of Israeli govts voted by their populations so your white supremacist theories is debunked yet again
Hamas and Hezbollah are funded by Iran, cut the head off the snake and the rest dies.
When Iran is destroyed, soon, these terrorist outfits will wither and die as the terrorists run and hide as is normal.
Jeez pakepakeha you’re deluded to think that Iran can be attacked and all is honky dory?? Have you seen their latest military ventures in Iraq & Syria? They have updated their military capabilities significantly even under enormous US UN sanctions.

“What’s next” has already happened – the exploding walkie-talkies. Exploding hand held devices used mainly by civilians. Who exactly are the terrorists here?
Sanctions no longer cut it, the world must repudiate this threat to world peace and humanity. Lets call it for what it is, a genocidal far right racist regime that crosses all red lines.
The latest attack in Lebanon is state sponsored terrorism that breaches international law and is a spectacular own goal by Israel, who in their right mind will trust any Israeli tech from now on.
Whats next? post something deemed antisemitic and your laptop explodes?
Netanyawho showing his true colours, lovely people these Israeli’s.
Definitely trying to find a Peaceful Solution, the USA are complicit in their support for Israel.
Absolutely brilliant preemptive strike, Israel’s best since 1967. The hand-held radios are exploding now as well. Gaza is gone and the terrorists Hezbollah are running scared. Israeli genius triumphs again and shows their enemies they messed with the wrong people.
Since 1967… and to where precisely has those succeeding 57 years taken the Jewish state and more importantly the Jewish people? The State of Israel is almost universally loathed and the Jewish people are becoming tainted by association. Military and technical genius are one thing but in the absence of Godly wisdom, justice and compassion they will come to nought. So my friend, whoever you may be, think again.
Think again? Hmmmm…Hezbollah have a new name: His-bolls-less. Chortle.
Agree 100 % finngrin.
The no1 and 2 rogue terror states in the world are the US and Ziorael.
NZ has lost its sovereignity by joining the US/Ziorael led cabal of genocide complicit states.
We are being named alongside these deplorable state actors and the stain may last forever.
Hezbollah are well trained and armed fighting US backed jihadi groups in Syria ova the last decade successfully helping the Syrian govt push back causing a major blow to ISIS pushing them into the “Idlib governorate” where they precariously remain. Hezbollah weapon supplies are from Syria and have been regularly bombed during the early stages of various state-sponsored and non-state actors in 2011 until Russia intervened in 2015 the sorted bombings lessen due to russia anti-ballistic missile S.300-400 units.
The 2015 deployment to Syria marked the first time since the end of the Cold War in 1991 that Russia entered an armed conflict outside the borders of the former Soviet Union. Al-Tanf built illegally is a U.S. military base in an American occupied part of the Homs Governorate, Syria. It is located 24km (15 mi) west of the al-Walid border crossing in the Syrian Desert. The surrounding deconfliction zone is located along the Iraq–Syria border and the Jordan–Syria border. The garrison is located along a critical road known as the M2 Baghdad–Damascus Highway. The Rukban refugee camp for internally displaced Syrians is located within the deconfliction zone where many are recruited on the americans side to fight Basha Al Assad govt.
The Golan Heights is also illegally occupied by Israel and the Syrian govt has every right to acquire their territories back even armed conflict. “The Caesar sanctions” targeting Syria is another US western sanction tool that does more harm than good wonder why the M.E are rebelling against it colonial policies that spells doom for their venerated apartheid state.
The world is in awe of the Israeli ingenuity and intelligence.
This is outstanding counter espionage on terrorists, sure some civilian casualties but that’s just war, that Hamas started and are praying to Allah for it to end as they hide in what’s left of their tunnels.
Bwaahhhhh
Its amazing they’re still fighting and doing significant damage to the IDF pussies which they clearly don’t admit remember Hamas doesn’t have any tanks, no airforce, no navy however nearly a year on since OCT 7 2023 and they still fighting apparently making their own ammunition in what left of their tunnels Bwaahhhh
The world is in awe..
What world is that.
But then you support the two biggest terrorist countries the US and Israel.
Go and see the movie/documentary Music for a coup d’etat
Here you have Doug Hammerskjold, the first head of the UN complicit with the Yanks and Belgium in attempting to over throw the Congo’s first prime minister on their ‘independence’, Lumumba Patrick.
This is all real footage and it shows the CIA dude talking about what they did. The great USA that supposedly believe in democracy until it doesn’t suit them in some other far flung place. They murdered Lumumba.
Anyone who thinks the US is this wonderful great country needs to do a bit of googling. I think their invasions are now up near 60! I am of British stock and am appalled at what the Brits did around the world invading all but 22 countries, we must have this and this and this.
John, for the past year and more you have been telling us what “New Zealand must do” when the Realm of New Zealand has no interest in doing anything that is rational, humane, or in keeping with international law.
When will you be ready to face the fact that the colonialist state, the Realm of New Zealand is a big part of the problem and can be no part of the solution?
The only constructive step that we can take as a people is to bring about the destruction of the colonial regime in Aotearoa.
I will say one thing for New Zealand. Unlike its four Five Eyes partners it appears to have supported the UN General Assembly resolution demanding Israel end its ‘unlawful presence’ in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Maybe that is a sign that there is still some semblance of rationality in the regime.

Just keeps getting better.
Sure Gaby, 46% of funding for new tech startups in Israel has been pulled by investors. Whats that around 50K business gone under? The dual passport holders are fleeing the country. Hows that winning going?
Sirens going off? Watch em run like scared little children all from Hamas rockets landing in vacant land. Pride comes before a fall………..
Think again? Hmmmm…Hezbollah have a new name: His-bolls-less. Chortle.
You’re just peeved by Israel’s display of stunning brilliance…which is why they will always win.
Yep the most “Moral army in the World” set off laden explosive devices targeting a civilian population and video just released showing the IDF kicking the dead bodies of Palestinians of rooftops.
As a Chef i dare not put Israeli Couscous on the menu for fear of offending customers.
Well, in fairness, couscous has nothing more to do with ‘israel’ than anything else they claim (they have never invented anything but new terror tactics and rape methods, they only know how to steal).
Credit where credit is due they did invent terrorism with the first recorded instance in the Bible against the Romans after all they were expelled for murdering 16 captive Roman soldiers in cold blood which shocked the Romans.
