Human rights advocates argue that airdrops and maritime routes are an insufficient substitute to aid delivery by land.

Food Airdrops Are Falling Short in Gaza

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/17490070

> > 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,”

Israeli settlements in Palestinian territories amount to ‘war crime’: UN
  • Hardly surprising...

    Biden has always seen Israel as an investment which produces the best returns for U.S. interests.

    In 1986, when he was a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, he opposed the sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia because they were not able to become “agents of .U.S interests in the Persian Gulf region.”

    He stressed that his opposition to the weapons sale was not about whether the Saudis were good guys or bad guys, but about the ability of the Saudis to help advance and secure U.S. interests.

    He emphasized that the “naked self-interest of the U.S.” should always guide their Middle East policy, and that his support for Israel is situated within that self-interest. As he bluntly explained: “Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interest in the region.”

  • Israeli rabbi says ‘kill everyone in Gaza, including babies’
  • I have taken pains to point out that Zionism does not equate Judaism. Three of the men from whom I have learned the most about this conflict are all Jewish, Noam Chomsky, Norman Finkelstein and Ilan Pappé.

  • Biden’s plan to build floating port for Gaza aid could take 60 days
  • The US is the worlds only remaining superpower. Biden picks up the phone calls Netanyahu and says we are sending in trucks. You will not impede them, or we will set your economy on fire. He hangs up the phone and the trucks begin to roll. It's that simple.

  • Israeli rabbi says ‘kill everyone in Gaza, including babies’
  • Israel’s formal position is not the elimination of Palestinian Arabs.

    The UN has found credible evidence to the contrary

    Zionism was from the very beginning a settler colonial enterprise. Yes genocidal attitudes towards Jews may have been used to promote the idea, but the end goal was always possession of land.

    In its initial stage, Zionism was conceived by its pioneers as a movement wholly depending on mechanical factors: there is a country which happens to be called Palestine, a country without a people, and, on the other hand, there exists the Jewish people, and it has no country. What else is necessary, then, than to fit the gem into the ring, to unite this people with this country? The owners of the country [the Turks] must, therefore, be persuaded and convinced that this marriage is advantageous, not only for the [Jewish] people and for the country, but also for themselves.

    Five Gazans Killed by US Aid Airdrops as Biden Faces Backlash Over 'Gimmicks'
  • No it isn't. People are starving to death and the best they can come up with is to parachute 30,000 meals to 1 million people? I'll ask you again how many weeks would it take to provide one meal to each of the over 1 million people there? Does that seem even remotely efficient to you?

    Children are starving to death and genocide Joe is providing political theater.

  • Five Gazans Killed by US Aid Airdrops as Biden Faces Backlash Over 'Gimmicks'
  • I find it truly amazing that brain dead liberals actually believe air lifting food is a viable alternative to opening the roads and sending in convoys of trucks. Do you understand they delivered just 30,000 meals in one week? Now do you also understand there are over 1 million people waiting for food. Do the math, how many weeks would it take provide 1 million people with one meal?

  • Five Gazans Killed by US Aid Airdrops as Biden Faces Backlash Over 'Gimmicks'
  • Apparently you were too lazy to read my previous reply, so I'll repost it for you. Save your speculation as to whether or not Hamas would be emboldened, it's meaningless nonsense.

    What tactics has the West utilized against Russia that they have not employed against Israel?

    Economic sanctions. Apply them to Israeli leadership in the military and in politics. Plus Business leaders and bankers. Prevent Israeli banking institutions “from accessing SWIFT, the international system for financial transactions, and restricting access to Western financial markets.” Ban Israeli access to international goods and services import as well as export. Let’s see how long their military can go without oil.

    remember this started because israeli civilians were killed in a terrorist attack

    This started because Israel is illegally occupying Palestinian territory and has violated every cease-fire over the last 15 years. If you think it started on October 7 you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

  • Five Gazans Killed by US Aid Airdrops as Biden Faces Backlash Over 'Gimmicks'
  • Dropping humanitarian aid from airplanes, or building a stupid pier is incredibly inefficient and costly. It's theatre to appease the liberals. It's designed to win back voters who are pissed off that genocide Joe won't take meaningful action.
