You wrote that fewer than .1% of casualties from the detonations were not hezbollah. When asked for a source you wrote: hezbollah. When pressed for a source you’ve now countered: “why would hezbollah report that?”.
We don’t know; it’s your premise. Where did you get that stat?
Dude. You keep making the same definitive statement over and over and then when asked to back it up, give this “who? what?” routine. Why anyone is even engaging with you, I don’t know. Yet here I am.
Oh good thing you told us where that info was then. Its not like the numbers of victims are still unknown or unaccounted for. Its also great that you provided all that evidence of “guilt” for everyone injured.
It’s hundreds of explosions, some of which were in cars (presumably causing car accidents) and crowded areas. It was terrifying. Victims may not want to come forward since it connects them with a group of people being targeted with fucking bombs, something they personally witnessed. They don’t want to be next. Or they don’t want people to think their deceased loved one was a terrorist.
Have you ever worked in emergency medicine or been in an accident? Someone could have been hit with shrapnel and hid it due to sheer adrenaline. People have been shot in mass shootings and had limbs bit off by sharks and not really “noticed.” It’s entirely possible to keep going/dissociate from an injury if you think that the bombing event will continue, if you’re still in danger, if you think acknowledging your wound will put you in danger. Or if you think people will assume your innocent kid that got killed was a terrorist, you might want to lie about how they died so you can have a nice funeral and people won’t remember them like that or accuse your family of being terrorists.
There’s also shrapnel from car accidents as well as shrapnel from the bombs.
I’m not actually arguing, I was answering your question about why some injuries may have gone unreported by people who weren’t Hezbollah. However, I would say that any groups of innocent casualties seems to show that the attacks were not very specific as originally criticized.

No sources, eh? Let me help: At least 12 civilians were killed and 2800 people injured by pager bombs. Hezbollah reported 11 members died that day.
Can you explain why you are making up stats with no source?

Didn’t you say they were the ones who reported your non-Hezbollah casualty figure though?
You could just link to what you’re talking about, that might clear up any confusion.

You’ve not sourced your 0.1% figure. Safe to assume there is none.

This is the most infuriating comment section I have ever seen.
Yeah but Hezbollah are worse akshually

For propaganda, they reported the girl dying right away
Yes, and that would be why we are wondering how that would be proof of a lack of non-Hezbollah casualties.
