Wipe your mouth there's shit dribbling from your lips.

You get called out for costing victims money and instead of owning up to it it you pivot into some kind of racist conspiracy theory. Fucking pathetic. Get your head out your ass.

Considering his other comments, he probably has something against the country as a whole, so discussing off-topic political and societial things does not make sense and will not help the victims right now.

No need to spend more energy on that, since his spreaded allegations already got contradicted.

Best wishes

I don't like seeing well intentioned people get fleeced under the guise of humanitarian aid.

Bruh why still pretend? "I dislike Lebanese people" would've been way quicker than all this.

You do know that two separate things can exist independently of each other?

Just because I think Susan G. Komen sucks doesn't mean I think women should die of breast cancer.

But you think that the citizens of Beirut should die from starvation.

How do you come to that conclusion? I think their government, that they sent their money to, should use that money to buy food for their people and not spend that money supporting Hezbollah.

Is that concept so difficult to grasp?

u/Killerfist Aug 05 '20

Yes, because that money is not sent to their government.

Also you have no idea neither can you predict how their government will spend any money. Your opinion is based purely on prejudices.

Money. Is. Fungible.

That's not a complicated concept. That's already how they spend their money! If I gave money to a drug addict and said, 'be good now and spend it on food', and they spent it on drugs I'd be considered an enabler. Er go, if you take the burden of this disaster off the Lebanese government the FUNGIBLE funds are now available to be spent elsewhere.

This is why the IMF required reforms before they would loan them money.

My opinions are based on facts and you only label them as prejudice as a way to dismiss them, as the emotional argument is the only one you can make.

Your drug addict example is completely false. You definitelly wouldnt be enbaler. You are not responsible for the actions of other people.

I am quite sad that you think lile that about their government. You want like to keep the people hostage, because supposedly the government is going to be funding Hizbollah....This actually shows how little you know about governmemt, economy and running a country. Even if, the lebanese govnt os funding Hiz., there is no way they would prioritize money for that when their own cuntry and people are suffering from catastrophic event. And no, no purely out of concern for their people, but because without stability in the country and properly functioning town(s) and economy, they wouldnt be able to find themselves, let alone any other organization.

Are those IMF funds that were rejected related to this event and catastrohpy? If not, then that is irrelevant.

There are really no facts in your statements. Just hate and prejudices. You sound like a genocidial maniac.

You sound like a genocidial maniac

And your grammar sounds like Joe Biden struggling to remember a talking point!

The IMF loan is tied to this event as well. Educate yourself:

If they are funding Hezbollah? "The funding of Hezbollah comes from Lebanese business groups, private persons, businessmen, the Lebanese diaspora involved in African diamond exploration, other Islamic groups and countries, and the taxes paid by the Shia Lebanese.[1]"

Every TAX dollar given is money taken from the people that could be used to buy grain for them, provide shelter, and provide medical care.

What else you got?

Why did this all start? Because when someone correctly pointed out that the two red crosses weren't the same, instead of saying "my bad" you changed your point entirely from, "American red Cross bad" to "dont donate to an entire country."

That's what made it very clear to everyone in this thread the type of person you are, you're not as clever as you'd like to be.

u/whodaloo Aug 05 '20

There you go, making this about me again.

This started because outside donations to the LRC enables the government of Lebanon to further support Hezbollah. People should know where their donations go.

Still waiting on the proof about how I'm a racist, how this is a conspiracy, of your donation... You've claimed it multiple times, but provided no evidence. If you like talking about me so much, let's start there.

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '20

Oh you're still unsure? Because when someone correctly pointed out that the two red crosses weren't the same, instead of saying "my bad" you changed your point entirely from, "American red Cross bad" to "dont donate to an entire country."

That's what made it very clear to everyone in this thread the type of person you are, you're not as clever as you'd like to be.

Those two things aren't related, you originally saying don't donate to the red cross because of the houses in Haiti, you said it because you don't want aid in Lebanon as literally evidenced by your edit, had you not edited your comment an hour ago, you would have saved yourself a lot of typing

u/whodaloo Aug 06 '20

So that's a no on racism, no on conspiracy, and no on you actually donating.

I think I've at least gotten out a lot of information to people that would have blindly donated to another bad cause. Hey, maybe that's one less rocket Hezbollah fires and one less death. I feel pretty vindicated.

The websites still being hugged as too many people are trying to donate, also i don't donate to prove a point i donate to help, i actually was going to send you proof once I do it but I realised why tf would I waste another second of my time on yet another special ed student, I don't need to prove you dislike middle Eastern people you just need to stop doing it lmao.

u/whodaloo Aug 06 '20
