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.

I can book flights from both airports. Israel doesn’t have all flights canceled.

Nothing I said in my above comment was an argument. It was a statement. You made this post lamenting on how you’re mistreated, but after our conversation and reading a few others you’ve had, I can safely say you’re not some kind of innocent victim of online hate. You’re just an inconsiderate asshole who can’t stand when you’re being treated the same way you treat others.

Technically true. I would argue that the fact that considering home ownership and affordability is a top concern for voters and little to no meaningful legislation has been proposed to fix it on any level of government that our government is intentionally ignoring the problem for their own interests.

It’ll persist as long as a significant amount of MPs are landlords and would never vote against their self-interests despite it being the best thing for their constituents.

Based on your responses to me and others on this thread I would say it’s no wonder you enjoy chatting with bots as opposed to humans.

You have a severe lack of empathy on even the most basic topics. In a discussion surrounding the thousands of deaths in an unprovoked attack the only response you could muster was “Civilian deaths are only issue for the western nations. Not to these extremists. Being martyred lands them into heaven.”. You seem to be operating under some delusion that these people in a different country and culture mourn their losses differently than you when human loss is universal. These aren’t martyrs, they’re human casualties you so casually wrote off for the sake of some kind of “truth” you keep claiming is there. You hide your emotional coldness and lack of empathy behind this “truth” veil to protect yourself from actually challenging yourself and acknowledging your fundamental lack of emotional intelligence.

The other thing that stood out to me is your complete lack of self reflection. You told another user on this thread that you’ve blocked 500+ people on Lemmy. Has it never once occurred in all those 500+ clicks of the block button that you might be the problem? That number of blocks is not normal. No matter which way you put it. All you’ve done is isolate yourself from others with a different worldview just because they hurt your feelings. You profile says you’re open to debate and discussion but your actions and words are telling me a whole other story.

You created this thread as some kind of self-pity party to get people to empathize with you but after this exchange and the others I’ve seen all I see is an asshole crying victim because they can’t see why people don’t respect you. Feel free to add me to your ever-growing list of blocked users on this site. But don’t say I didn’t give you a chance to empathize and understand you. I really really did. And you failed horribly at it at every turn.

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?

Why are American citizens from one country getting better treatment than the other?

And you thought it was appropriate to highlight this point on a thread mourning those losses? On top of that, you were surprised when people rebuked you for it?

I never said anything of the sort. I asked you if you would be comfortable to look them in the eye as they mourn the losses of their husbands, their wives, their sons, their daughters, their brothers, their sisters, their grandfathers, and their grandmothers and say this was for the best? Are you capable of doing so with 100% conviction and without any remorse?

Asking you to envision a scenario where you are forced to confront the stark reality of your moral argument is not a threat. Why is it so hard for you to empathize with others and accept another’s world view? On a conversation about an absurd loss of human life you seem to be incapable of even acknowledging how wrong that is. Have you ever thought why that is?

Canada is evacuating it’s citizens from Lebanon.

In what way am I reducing them?

No. Read dystopian novels like Brave New World and you’ll understand why.

Everyone is a complete person. Don’t belittle yourself like that.

Thought the onion was supposed to be satirical…

Doesn’t matter at all. A person is a person.

Biden: Pro human rights when it’s politically convenient.

I’ve seen that post a few times myself. I do agree with everything you say, actually. I was thinking more along the lines of targeted ads on radios to appeal to Trump supporters when I make that comment. As for talking to these individuals one on one? Let’s just say I fall into that group of people you characterized as not having enough compassion and understanding to empathize with them.

Sounds to me like someone posted an opinion so bad that mods decided to have it removed and is now crying victim.
