U.S. to launch airdrop campaign over Gaza, Biden says, as humanitarian crisis worsens

[cigaretteman]

President Biden said Friday that the United States would launch an airdrop campaign to deliver aid to Gaza. The announcement comes with the enclave on the brink of famine, humanitarian groups say. Aid convoys have struggled to make deliveries amid Israeli bombardment and disruptions at border crossings.

Here's what to know​

Gaza health officials said more than 100 people were killed after a crowd converged on an aid convoy in Gaza City on Thursday. Palestinian officials and eyewitnesses blamed the casualties on Israeli gunfire; Israeli officials blamed a stampede near the aid convoy. Many details of the incident remain unclear. President Biden said it would complicate hostage negotiations.
At least 30,228 people have been killed and 71,377 injured in Gaza since the war began, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. Israel estimates that about 1,200 people were killed in Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack and says 242 soldiers have been killed since the start of its military operation in Gaza.

Why is the US doing this? Why not Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan, Qatar?

 

[LuciousBDragon]

Just a reminder, as of yesterday, there are over 130 hostages (children) still being held by Hamas.

Hamas continues to launch rockets into Israel.

Hezbollah continues to launch rockets into Israel.




Please continue the daily discussion of Israel’s genocide campaign.

Air drops into where?

@Finance85 learns that Joe Biden is a better human being than the leaders of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan and Qatar. Just wait until he figures out that Biden is also a better human being than Putin or Trump!

So Biden is at least better than living pieces of shit?

You’re good at complimenting!

Better than the one you (apparently) plan to vote for.

To be fair, millions of Americans don’t comprehend this simple fact.

Brah, I’m voting for Kodos.

Pretty sad that you have to look to the world’s rogue gallery of living feces to defend your guy. It would have been more productive if you skipped posting that and instead spending that time swiping right on Grindr.

Sure, Jan.

 

[franklinman]

just like old times, our unit did this after a typhon hit India back in the 60s. mainly beans and rice. fly low over the runway and let boxes hit the ground.

 

[Scruddy]

It's now being reported that much, if not all, of the food in the air drop to Gaza was expired.. what will be the response if this turns out to be true?

 

[SA_Hawk]

Biden is trying to secure the Muslim vote ahead of November especially in Michigan.

Problem is he is air dropping supplies to an evil American hating population.

 

[SA_Hawk]

Funny thing is at the same time Hamas would like nothing better than to down one of our planes.

 

[SA_Hawk]

Nothing like dropping supplies to a country that took Americans hostage.

 

[SA_Hawk]

Trump has done a much better job on the world’s stage than Biden. A lot less war, death and destruction around the globe with Trump.

 

[Joes Place]

Trump has done a much better job on the world’s stage than Biden.

Uh, no.

 

[BrianNole777]

I saw a video of the drop and a few of the packages fell into the ocean.

I hope they're waterproof.

Biden only cares about politics. He's not paying the bills. We are borrowing money that will never be paid back, and paying interest on the money diminishes the help that can be provided to needy US citizens.

How much have you personally contributed to the people in Gaza? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Not remotely true.

Biden has gotten key legislation negotiated and passed that will benefit Main St Americans for decades.
The same Main St Americans who are brainwashed to vote against him.

When have you ever personally contributed to aid in Gaza? How about Ukraine?
