Tariffs change. Especially when Trump or another nutcase is in office.

All of Israel is occupied Palestinian territory.

Regardless, this is non-binding. I don't expect it to do anything.

The explanation is that it's random. Generate enough random strings and you're bound to get everything.

Our thoughts?

This is entirely symbolic. The guy is already in prison and would never be able to pay that.

Yup!

Not that that's new. They've been assassinating people around the world for decades: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Israeli_assassinations

Hell, they bombed a hotel even before Israel itself was established: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_David_Hotel_bombing

They seize assets in the US.

No, I don't think we can assume that at this point.

I assume they use the cell phone network these days, so any in flight probably weren't able to receive the signal. On board but not at elevation is a pretty small window, so the number could be as small as zero.

Most providers in the US allow it too. It's great that Germany has it enshrined in law, but in practice it's not the exception.

It's plausible. If the pager had some kind of battery that could explode if charged, discharged, or shorted in some way, and the controller could be compromised, then it'd be possible to make it explode.

Remember, Israel worked on the Stuxnet attack that destroyed Iranian uranium centrifuges by infecting their controllers, making them go too fast, and destroying themselves.
