The State Department under Antony Blinken offered Americans in Israel charter flights to flee the country after October 7th but now they're telling Americans stuck in Lebanon to book their own flights out on the one available commercial airline for $8,000 a seat.

“I come before you, not only as the U.S. Secretary of State, but also as a Jew. My grandfather…fled pogroms... My stepfather…survived concentration camps. So...I understand...the harrowing echoes that Hamas’ massacres carry...for Jews everywhere.”

"On October 12, the State Dept began booking charter flights to fly Americans out of Israel if they wanted to leave," Ryan Grim commented Saturday on X. "Americans in Lebanon, facing an ongoing bombing campaign (with U.S. bombs) and no real way out, are told to get bent."

The U.S. Embassy is not evacuating U.S. citizens at this time. There is a commercially available flight that U.S. citizens who expressed interest in departing Lebanon will have to book and pay directly with the airline.

"Only some U.S. citizens matter for the U.S." HalalFlow said.

Our residents keep booking those "available flights," and they are canceled repeatedly, and guess what? The cost of airfare for the one available commercial flight is $8,000. When I told the @StateDept about the cost barrier, their reply is "we will provide them with a loan." https://t.co/jYLAtH8cpL

It can't get any more obvious who the real sovereign is in America.
