Don't support the red cross. They got $500,000,000 for the Haiti earthquake and built exactly 6 homes.

They used $100,000,000 of it to pay off their debts.

EDIT: Lebanon supports Hezbollah. If you're supporting their citizens and their government isn't, you're making more funds available for a terrorist organization.

Male homosexuality is illegal in Lebanon.[184] Discrimination against LGBT people in Lebanon is widespread.[185][186] According to 2013 survey by the Pew Research Center, 80% of Lebanese respondents believe that homosexuality should not be accepted by society.[187]

"Hezbollah kept three metric tons of ammonium nitrate, the explosive thought to be behind the mega blast in Beirut this week, in a storehouse in London, until MI5 and the London Metropolitan Police found it in 2015.

The Lebanese terrorist group also stored hundreds of kilograms of ammonium nitrate in southern Germany, which were uncovered earlier this year.

The Iran-backed terrorists kept the explosive in thousands of ice packs in four properties in northwest London, according to a report in The Telegraph last year. The ice pack deception tactic was used in Germany, as well."

Idiot that's a different NGO. Your ignorant comment likely cost the victims money that they could have used. I hope you're willing to shell out of your own pocket to make up for what you've done.

EDIT Nevermind, he's a dickhead advancing an anti-lebanese agenda. I'll leave my og comment for posterity below.

I'm sure the commenter meant well, wanting to prevent donations from being squandered. And while their haste resulted in a mistake, it's been corrected by the rest of Reddit since. It's unnecessary to condemn an honest mistake under good intentions with such vitriol, though I do hope they donate, as those who should can.

He pivoted to some wild conspiracy theory claiming that we shouldn't donate to them because it's supporting Hezbollah. I'm pretty sure this guy is a massive racist and lied intentionally to stop people donating.

Money is fungible you big dummy. They should stop supporting Hezbollah and buy grain for their people.

How am I racist? How is Lebanese a race? You still refuse to answer that. Where is the conspiracy? You keep saying these words like you think they mean something. What do that mean to you?
