With the issue of pagers if Israel somehow managed to have them delivered just to Hezbollah then it isnt terrorism even if some non Hezbollah Lebanese were injured or killed, if they sold them from some dodgy cell phone repair front in Beirut to anyone who wanted one it is.
The point for both sides is you cant lash out and not expect a response, personally I think the pager thing is kind of brilliant but ramps up the tension, of course that is the whole point, Israel is looking for an excuse to go to war, full scale invasion of southern Lebanon to push Hezbollah back to Beirut permanently and more importantly keep Bibi out of jail and in power

My view is a bit more holistic.
I think it's becoming clear that Israeli policy is not too far from treating all those around them as less-than-human. So yeah, haha they infiltrated the pagers and radios and now little kids are afraid of small electronic gadgets. But at the end of they day, the Israeli government's policy is to dehumanize and maim the societies around them.
I'm especially sensitive to it given the recent rhetoric in the US congress towards Muslims, and the historic lack of interest by the US in the death and destruction meted out to muslim societies.
I think it all points towards a level of immorality that everyone *should* be running away from, but some think it's super cool just like something out of the movies. It's disgusting and it's going to get more even more people killed under the guise of 'acceptable casualties.'
