      Left screenshot: “If you aren’t able to book a commercial flight from Isreal, starting in 2 weeks we will help you”

      Right screenshot: “we are not currently evacuating people from Lebanon, since there are normal commercial flights”

      OP: “THATS RACIST!”

      You: “Wow, look at how political that is!”

          Only anti-Biden propaganda. I sure would feel weird if I was on a website from Luxembourg constantly criticizing politicians in the Netherlands or something.

            Yeah. Seems their intention with the bulk of their posts is to get Trump elected. I assume they’re paid by the Kremlin.

          Ok, and your point is? The US and the Netherlands, and the UK aren’t evacuation. They’ve specifically called on people to leave, but the UK and the Netherlands specifically don’t run evacuation flights, because commercial flights have plenty of space. Just like the US, apparently.

              Today, they’re not. If you want an evacuation flight form Isreal today, you can’t, you need to book a commercial flight. If you want one from Lebanon, you can’t, you need to book a commercial flight. That’s the same treatment for everyone.

              In 2.5 weeks from today, you can ask for help getting a flight from Israel. Will the same apply to Lebanon in 2.5 weeks? I dunno, they haven’t told anyone either way, though other countries have said they’d organise flights if all commercial flights are full/stopped (I assume the same would apply for the US).

              I mean, if you want me to point out the US is massively unfairly helping Isreal to the massive detriment of the entire region, i’ll gladly do that. But this mostly doesn’t seem like a fair comparison.

                The post literally says that Israeli-American’s can have help booking flights from the American government but the American-Lebanese ones will not get the same level of help. How is that the same treatment?

                  If you read the screenshots, not the braindead text, that’s absolutely not what it says. Try again I guess.

                    Nowhere in the image does it say Israelis are not able to book flights or that there are no flights. A quick look at the flight status of the tel Aviv airport confirms that there are flights. The US government is offering Israeli-Americans the ability to rely on them if they are facing difficulties. They are not offering the same to Lebanese-Americans.

        Left screen shot, there’s no real danger but we’ll evacuate you.

        Right screen shot, Israel is unaliving entire city blocks and may invade tomorrow. Good luck fuckers!

        Get it yet?

      Unfortunately even that’s a high bar for most US politicians. There’s plenty worse, but vanishingly few that go beyond it.
