The BBC reported it was a Taiwanese brand to let a Hungarian company manufacture them on their behalf. The pagers were brought to Lebanon 5 months ago. The Hungarian company has been around since about 2022.

For this to be a supply chain attack, the level of sophistication indicates Israeli intelligence was at this for years, from setting up a shell company, infiltrating manufacturing companies, etc. We don't know whether the Taiwanese company was compromised as well.

Now this last part is a bit of a conspiracy theory, but it makes you wonder what the real reason the US banned Huawei. Could they have been approached as a potential manufacturer and they said no? The timeline certainly works.

Edit: BBC link

It is absolutely antisemitic. Fiddler on the Roof is about the Jewish culture and has nothing to do with Zionism or Israel.

This would be like protesting against Saudi Arabia actions at an Eid festival.

Depending on the drug (marijuana), your alcohol and junk food consumption would be objectively worse.

Edit: Apparently people lack basic comprehension.

Couldn't we just outlaw foreign interference?

Is this racism, or are there genuine concerns (they took er jerbs?)

What if we elect Trump and he gets rid of safety standards, could we import it then?

Are we going to completely ignore the absolute insanity of arresting someone for cheating on an exam.

Do the Palestinians have a right to defend themselves? Or are we just going to call any retaliation "terrorism"?
