humanitarian organizations, many of which have been sounding alarms about the hunger crisis in Gaza for months, are not impressed. They argue that air and sea deliveries are not only an insufficient substitute for humanitarian aid delivered by land, but a dehumanizing one that acts as a distraction to the man-made barriers that have prevented more aid from getting into Gaza in the first place. “There is no good reason why aid cannot access Gaza by road today,”

    It’s not meant to be sufficient, it is meant to make Biden look like he’s doing something other than merely prolonging the slaughter by sending arms to Israel.

      Of course, and we need to call that out at every chance.

        Gotta call it out at every chance to delegitimize Biden so Trump wins and starts another insurrection.

            In the bipartisan system, voting anything anything other than Democrat is voting for fascism.

              In reality, excusing genocide is fascism.

                You want a genocide? See what happens if Glorious Leader takes power again. He’ll turn Gaza into the world’s biggest parking lot in two weeks.

                    The US isn’t the one ethnically cleansing Palestinians. Biden isn’t responsible for Israel’s actions.

                  But Trump is Putin’s puppet and Putin supports Hamas.

                  Why would Trump go against the wishes of Putin? Unless…

      How does sending arms to Israel prolong the war? It should rather speed up its resolution, I would think?
