Israel's pager attack in Lebanon will blow back: Western tech can't be trusted anymore

Israel killed many people in Lebanon by putting explosives in pagers and walkie-talkies, in what was condemned internationally as a terrorist attack. This is already backfiring, hurting Western technology companies. Ben Norton discusses how this act of war will fragment supply chains, as Global South markets no longer trust tech made by the US and its allies. China's manufactured goods will increasingly be seen as a safer alternative.

"it was not an act of war, it was an act of terrorism". Scott Ritter

[Seeloknya_Sebaiknya]

No western colonisers want to condemn this terrorist attack? According to America it is not terrorism when it is done by one of their proxy. If this was done in Europe or USA imagine the response.

The question is can anyone trust Apple and Tesla now?

[jefbonehunter]

China win the war by not even going to war😂

[exoplanetnomad]

Weaponizing a civilian communications technology is a crime against humanity!

[Cherrytea]

Near silence from the US administration. Absolutely disgusting.

[PSmith-fu]

Yes the US knew because the American University in Beirut were ordered to replace all their pagers with a new batch, one week prior to the attack.

I worry about the safety of Ben Norton. He speaks truthfully, exposes lies, atrocities, corruptions and injustices. The evil nations might want to shut him up permanently! May be be protected and remain safe 🙏

Gina Raimondo once said:”If we buy Chinese EVs, the Chinese government could turn off all the EVs just by a switch”. That means the US actually has such a plan to American EVs in China.

[sajadhussain]

Absolutely sickening silence from the USA, UK, We live in a sick hypocritical world.

[alberto]

you are very brave. I don't know how much longer your channel will be available before it's blocked. You are doing a very important job! Keep going!

[loveislam]

Don't by any western made technology, they where saying China is doing this and that but it turns out it's Western nations' technology that we need to be afraid of.

[witmer]

I'm someone who is usually very skeptical about the content of these geopolitical youtube pages but the commentary and analysis of this channel is 🔥 fire 🔥. Keep up the great work.

[salehothman]

Huawei, tried and tested.
You won't be disappointed.
👍👍

[alfredpetrossian]

And we Americans are unconditionally funding Israel in the name of democracy..

[NunyaBizness-zf]

I live in Mexico and bought a Huawei phone over a year ago. Cheap, intuitive, reliable and SAFE. I trust the Chinese Communist Party much more with my data than I do an US/European monopolistic corporation in cooperation with the CIA/NSA/IRS/DOJ.

[Aluminumfurniture]

When you lose the trust, you will lose everything.

[Randolph]

The Catholic Patriarch of Jerusalem was asked: Do you condemn Hamas ?
He answered: Have The Palestinians no right to defend themselves ?

Well done young man. Ben . A clear delivery and easy to understand. Ad multos annos.

[Ariel-qn]

This is going to change so much. The unintended consequences will take paths no one expects.

[tuanshameer]

Don't buy Apple products.
