@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.
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!
Spending millions of dollars of relief aid for the ~~millions~~ billions of dollars of genocidal actions they funded that caused for a need for relief aid in the first place.

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.
Last count, 115 dead and 750+ wounded. Witnesses state that IDF fired indiscriminately and to kill. The Israeli government states they only shot when scared and that it was all the trampling caused by their "warning shots" that killed everyone.
There has to be video of this somewhere right?
Source on witness please.
Only piece I've seen on indiscriminately shoot to kill was by a hamas source or Pro Palestine organizations.
I have however seen one that mentions a doctor stating something like 100 admitted (dead and wounded i assume) have gunshot wounds.
Thank you - will have a watch when I have a minute
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
They are almost certainly MREs. All anyone did to make them ready for this is pull them off a shelf and put them on a pallet.
That or humanitarian daily rations, they're much more cost effective and readily available than MREs, and specifically used for humanitarian crisis
Also are made to comply with dietary restrictions so are often vegetarian or halal
Given that they are HDR, does that mean they can drop individual packets instead of crates? They were designed to avoid the crowd crush associated with parachute crates.
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
Drop them some fucking weapons.
That would literally just give Israel an excuse for another massacre.
I don't know if you've noticed, but Israel has not stopped massacring Gazans.
What do you think CNN would be reporting right now if that the people executed at the aid truck had been armed?
If every kid in Gaza had an AK they'd still lose to the IDF, and they'd also lose every bit of international sympathy while Bibi babbles about all Palestinians being armed Hamas radicals.
Gaza can not win this war. The only hope they have is diplomatic pressure as the world wakes up to the fact that Israeli isn't one of the Good Guys (TM)
I don't give a fuck what CNN reports. Maybe, just maybe Israel wouldn't have dared attack those poor people if their armed forces had symmetrical deterrents like cruise missiles. Keeping it real: we both know the US isn't going to arm Palestinians. I'm saying however, that beyond invading Israel ourselves, it would be the the most moral thing we could do.
