“I don’t think there’s any question that it’s a form of terrorism,” [Leon] Panetta said on “CBS News Sunday morning.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) condemned Israel over the pager explosions, saying the incident “unequivocally violates international humanitarian law and undermines U.S. efforts to prevent a wider conflict.”

Isn't that the point of terrorism? Isn't that what they want?

It spits in the eye of the global supply chain. The whole point of that experiment is to ~~effectively separate labor from the means of production~~ allow each country the ability to produce what they're best at, allowing for a cooperative/ competitive world.

By shattering the illusion of safely, Israel threatens all of the global neoliberalism power structure. Nothing is scarier for the powers that be.
