Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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.
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
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.
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
@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.
