Critics say the US rushed to evacuate its citizens in Israel last year. For Lebanon, the response has been much slower.

There are 6,000 Americans trying to leave. We've evacuated 100.

What the fuck is going with my country? Biden was supposed to be a vote for the status quo after a crazy 4 years but now it feels like we're right back in the Trump years.

Responded to the wrong comment- pre coffee. Not braining today, deleted it with an apology for off-topic’ing your discussion.

It's neoliberalism protecting capitalism

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Nah, there's nothing about capitalism to protect here. I would agree that's part of their support for Israel, but not getting our own people out of the way doesn't make sense with that.

Caring more about war profits than human lives is pretty capitalism

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Or just plain racist.

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

You misspelled "nazism". Israel is a Nazi state, starting from racial laws, imperialism and occupation and ending on the genocide.

Well, that's because they are.

At first I really wanted to say "good, now they are treated the same as the Lebanese people living alongside them" but no, that definitely isn't "good" by any real measure of this word. I hope this whole tragedy will stop soon.

It won't stop until either Israel is disarmed or there is a complete change of people in charge of Israel and criminals like Netanyahu, his entire government and IDF commanders are sent to prison.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 22 points 1 day ago

That latter option won't cause much change. Israel is, as a state and as a people, ideologically poisoned. They need something on the level of the denazification of Germany before you can hope for any change.
