Israel uses pagers, walkie-talkies, and other electronic devices to hide explosives and remotely detonates them, causing indiscriminate harm to civilian society with the aim of killing individual Hezbollah members. This has resulted in a major tragedy in Lebanon with thousands of casualties, reflecting the Israeli government’s willingness to sacrifice innocent lives in its pursuit of targeted individuals. This attitude shows a blatant disregard for the lives and property of non-Jews. It indicates that the Israeli regime and military, under Zionist control, have abandoned the fundamental principles of human civilization in pursuit of their barbaric religious beliefs, becoming the greatest threat to the current development of international civilization.
Moreover, it exposes the true nature and political ambitions of Zionism, which is no longer merely a territorial dispute between Jews and Palestinians (who are essentially brothers of the same kinship), it has transformed into a confrontation between Jewish fascism and international civilization (both East and West).
The most significant consequence of this indiscriminate attack is the polarization of the international community, resembling the division and opposition of the Cold War era. Since Israel can attack hostile societies using such methods, the opposing side can employ the same tactics, with explosives being applicable to any devices capable of communication or remote detonation. By intervening in the production and sales processes, these devices can be turned into weapons that can explode simultaneously via remote control. Mobile phones, computers, and even electric vehicles can be embedded with explosives on a large scale during production and sales, detonated under the instructions of terrorists. In everyday life at home, during work meetings, and other public activities, those carrying these devices can become human bombs. Once Israel sets this precedent, the entire international community will suffer the consequences.
To ensure national security and counter-terrorism, all countries are forced to conduct strict inspections of all communication-enabled devices produced and sold overseas that enter their territories. This will result in a comprehensive crackdown on the international trade of these devices; even those imported from friendly nations cannot be protected from being tampered with.
As a result, countries like the United States and Western Europe, which already have numerous enemies internationally, will become more vulnerable to attacks, leading them to ban the import and use of foreign-manufactured or processed electronic equipment, allowing only domestically produced goods. However, their deindustrialization has made it difficult to re-establish a domestic production and sales system. The involvement of imports and domestic sales will introduce the risk of embedded explosives. While Israel’s intention is to strike against Hezbollah, the outcome is an attack on the collective interests of Europe and America, stirring a new wave of state terrorism internationally.
This new Cold War divides the world. Can Europe and America manage to rebuild their industries and produce independently? China needs to guard against the threat of hidden explosives in American-made computers and Tesla electric vehicles, while Europe and America must protect against the threats posed by various communication tools manufactured in China and other developing countries. The result is a destruction of the existing international supply chain system, fostering suspicion and threats, leading to a precarious state of vigilance. However, no matter how tight the security measures are, there will always be vulnerabilities, and danger will spread uncontrollably.

世界分割
以色列利用傳呼機、對講機及其他電子產品，隱藏炸藥，遙控爆炸，形成對平民社會的無差別傷害，目標是殺個別真主黨成員，結果在黎巴嫩造成數千人傷亡的重大悲劇，既反映以色列政府為謀害敵對人物，不惜帶上無辜人民的性命，對非猶太人的生命財產，視如草芥；顯示在猶太復國主義操控下的以色列政權和軍隊，為了它們的野蠻宗教信念，已經拋棄了人類文明的基本原則，成為當前國際文明發展的最大威脅。
此外，也暴露出猶太復國主義的真正面貌與政治企圖，已經不是猶太族與巴勒斯坦人（本屬同種同文的兄弟族）的領土之爭，而是變成猶太法西斯主義與國際文明（不論東西）的對抗。
這次無差別攻擊的最大後果，是國際社會因此而劃分兩極，近似冷戰時期的世界分割與對立。以色列既然可以用這樣的方法攻擊敵對社會，反以的一方亦可用同樣方法，炸藥的載體更可擴及所有帶有通訊能力或可裝置遙控炸藥的用具。通過在生產和銷售等過程的介入，都可變成即時遙控同時爆炸的武器，手機、電腦乃至電動車都可大規模地在生產與銷售時埋藏炸藥，按恐怖主義者指示而爆炸。在家居日常生活，在工作會議與其他公眾活動裏，攜帶這些裝置的便變成人肉炸彈。以色列此例一開，整個國際社會都會蒙受其害。
為保國家安全和反恐，所有國家都要對在海外生產、銷售進入國內的所有帶通訊功能的器具加以嚴密檢查，結果全面打擊這些器具的國際貿易；即使由友好國家進口的，亦防不了被改裝。
於是，在國際上樹敵眾多的美國及西歐各國，都會易受攻擊，導致它們禁制進口和使用國外製造、加工的電子器材，只容許國產國銷。但其去工業化的發展，已使之難以重新建立國產國銷的體系。涉及進口，以及國內銷售，便產生預埋炸藥的風險。以色列目的是打擊真主黨，結果是打擊歐美集體，也在國際上掀起新一輪國家恐怖主義的浪潮。
由此形成的新冷戰要畫地為牢，但歐美可趕及重建工業，自主生產嗎？中國要防美資的電腦和特斯拉電動車的潛伏炸藥威脅，歐美要防中國及其他發展中國家製造的各種通訊工具的威脅，結果是要摧毀現有的國際供應鏈體制，在猜疑和威脅中戰戰兢兢地防範，但百密仍會有一疏，危險四播，沒法收拾了。
