US military aircraft airdrop thousands of meals into Gaza in emergency humanitarian aid operation
Spending millions of dollars of relief aid for the millions of dollars of genocidal actions they funded that caused for a need for relief aid in the first place.
This is like the Mafia sending you flowers in the hospital after they broke your knees.
its like god sending jesus christ to save us from... himself?
Well, what's the worse that could happen if he did that?
I mean, we saw what'd he do over a fruit!
Did Israel ever allow the shit ton of flour into Gaza that America sent?
I thought that was the four that was being delivered when the IDF massacred the Palesrinians that were there to receive it.
Does anyone know who made these 38,000 meals ?
That's a good number of meals to just appear and then have a planned drop without getting shot down.
That means this was a coordinated effort for Israel to not shoot, while also the meals being available and packaged prior to it happening.
Lots of logistics I would love to see the behind the scenes on
Bro, what kind of air support do you think Hamas has? Israel's not above shooting down random US aircraft but this isn't exactly dropping off VIPs in Kyiv, there's not a lot of potential for confusion.
I said Israel, if you think a plane flying over gaza isn't monitored by Israel you are mistaken. Their "Iron Dome" would have to track every plane with their geographic location
I hope that this is bad writing and that they're not being so inefficient as to literally airdrop meals. They should be airdropping food supplies which can be turned into meals. Much more efficient.
Edit: Having read the article, they are dropping MREs. Not the worst but could be more efficient.
Can’t let those orphan Hamas toddlers die of starvation before the IDF can shoot them in the head like they deserve. /s
If this wasnt election year and Super Tuesday wasn't coming up and Biden wasn't trying to save face they wouldn't have gotten a thing. Instead of dropping aid and trying to change the narrative they could should have forced Israel to step down and allowed the existing aid that's already on the ground to pass through to Palestine
The US can't force Israel to do anything. They are a reasonably wealthy state with significant military prowess and supplies in their own right.
I keep seeing this narrative here on the fediverse that somehow it's all Biden's fault because if we didn't send them weapons, the whole thing would be over. It's just false.
We shouldn't send them weapons, but stopping doing so would not stop the genocide.
So you're saying it's something that worked with Reagan, Worked with Thatcher, would not work with Biden? Or it has to do more with Biden being the top recipient of j Street money than any other politician.
How about I airdrop my balls into Bidens mouth
US military aircraft provides location of new targets for the IOF to shoot.
Ftfy.
As long as they don't enforce a ceasefire, innocent Gazans are going to be shooting targets for the Israel soldiers.
So it could have been done that fast. Makes you wonder what they were waiting for when people were starving. Maybe they weren't polling as bad
Maybe they could evacuate them somewhere safe instead of air dropping food. Must be nice to fly a plane over knowing you get to go home afterward.
Nothing is ever good enough for anyone. That's my only issue with other liberals. Steps were made in the right direction. Thank goodness. I hope we take further steps in the right direction. But to be obtuse and constantly negative at every sign of progress is exhausting.
Where would you evacuate them to? Every country in the surrounding area has clearly stated that they will not accept them. Egypt tried, and then Hamas caused dozens of terror attacks there, and Egypt backpedaled. Do you have any remote idea what it would take to move half a million people? Feed them, vet them, transport them, and house them?
The last country to accept Gaza refugees was Jordan years ago, but they won't accept them again. I can't think of a country that would. There has been some talk about some African countries giving them temporary asylum, but there are no reports on that barring fruit.
These people are starving and unable to leave Gaza. We could literally air lift people out tomorrow if we wanted to. This was a political stunt. I'm glad people are getting food. But let's not forget what this is. The U.S. has been giving Israel billions of dollars in support of this genocide.
This is the bare minimum.
I suspect it's easier to get food into Gaza by airdrop than truck because Israel keeps preventing the trucks from entering.
Nobody wants the Gazians. Egypt is spending big money to keep them out.
No.
No country wants them permanently and have been saying if they leave Israel will claim all the empty land...
Which is already happening.
My brother in Christ moving millions of people in a place with minimal infrastructure after Israel bombed it into rubble isn't just a logistical nightmare it's expensive, time consuming, and Israel isn't going to just give the thumbs up. Oh - and it's their fucking homeland.
So is giving Israel 10 billion dollars in support of the genocide. And I'm sorry, I love living in my country but if it turned into dangerous war zone, I wouldn't live there anymore. People don't stay in active war zones bcz they want to. They stay bcz they have nowhere else to go.
@IronKrill per your comment you wanted someone to mention you when they did something. Here you go.
Dude kept receipts. Post other receipts here in this thread.
