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.

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

And you're also not getting an evac flight today. So I really really don't see your problem.

In what way do you think Americans in Lebanon are having it easier compared to people in Israel where it warrants this difference of treatment by the US government?
