U.S. military aircraft airdrop thousands of meals into Gaza in emergency humanitarian aid operation
Three planes from Air Forces Central dropped 66 bundles containing about 38,000 meals into Gaza on Saturday.
"Three U.S. C-130 cargo planes dropped 66 total bundles, equating to about 38,000 pork-free meals, into the territory on Saturday morning. The bundles were split between three planes, the official said."
"The airdrop is expected to be the first of many announced by President Joe Biden on Friday. The aid will be coordinated with Jordan, which has also conducted airdrops to deliver food to Gaza."
You're viewing a single thread.
Robert Ford, a former US ambassador to Algeria and Syria wrote on X that being forced to carry out airdrops on Gaza (instead of delivering supplies by truck) was “Israel’s worst humiliation of the USA I’ve ever seen”.
No offense. But that's just about the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time. (I know you're just the messenger.)
Us begging for Israel to stop genocide, them telling us "fuck off", and then aiding Israel anyways is FAR more humiliating. Why is every politician not named Bernie Sanders Israel's bitch?
Sometimes, I try to imagine how much less of a shitshow things would've been if Bernie had been the one running against Trump in 2016.
I voted for Bernie in 2016 and 2020. But I'm not convinced the politics were on his side. He polled favorably against Trump, but Trump only praised him. He knew it would cause division if he did well against Hillary. I think if he won, the socialist rhetoric would have jumped, and his favorable numbers would have dropped significantly.
I do wonder about if Hillary had taken the race seriously. If she had taken the Bernie voters seriously instead of saying she didn't need them. If she had taken the emails issue seriously instead of playing dumb.
Also, if Biden had dropped out of this race. But also if Trump didn't run again. I think Nikki Haley would easily beat Biden with the moderate vote. But I think another Dem candidate would easily beat Trump with the same moderate vote.
It's really embarrassing that Netanyahu makes Biden kneel for him like this, but this was worse
