    If it’s that urgent, the US government and its arms dealers should pay for the evacuation.

    It’s only fair since they’re already the ones paying for and profiting off of the Israeli warmongering.

      But what about the dogma of capitalism — fuck you got mine?

      Those US citizens are likely of Lebanese origin visiting, or people with something to do there, like journalists or humanitarians. So it’d be a racist fsck you to the former and saying that they are not protected to the latter.

        It’s not racist to protect Lebanese-Americans from the Israeli war machine and it’s abundantly clear from Gaza and the West Bank that no journalists or humanitarian aid workers are protected or in any way safe when the IDF is involved.

          I forgot it’s world news and people don’t actually read comments here before answering. I said that US government not arranging evacuation and saying “get out however you can” is racist.

            I read it, you were just being very opaque. And you’re also wrong regardless.

            “Get out before Israel drops the bombs we sold them on your home” is many awful things, but racist isn’t one of them.

                    Furthermore, your size isn’t as impressive as some might have you believe.
