    Maybe they could evacuate them somewhere safe instead of air dropping food. Must be nice to fly a plane over knowing you get to go home afterward.

      Nothing is ever good enough for anyone. That’s my only issue with other liberals. Steps were made in the right direction. Thank goodness. I hope we take further steps in the right direction. But to be obtuse and constantly negative at every sign of progress is exhausting.

      Where would you evacuate them to? Every country in the surrounding area has clearly stated that they will not accept them. Egypt tried, and then Hamas caused dozens of terror attacks there, and Egypt backpedaled. Do you have any remote idea what it would take to move half a million people? Feed them, vet them, transport them, and house them?

        The last country to accept Gaza refugees was Jordan years ago, but they won’t accept them again. I can’t think of a country that would. There has been some talk about some African countries giving them temporary asylum, but there are no reports on that barring fruit.

        These people are starving and unable to leave Gaza. We could literally air lift people out tomorrow if we wanted to. This was a political stunt. I’m glad people are getting food. But let’s not forget what this is. The U.S. has been giving Israel billions of dollars in support of this genocide.

        This is the bare minimum.

      I suspect it’s easier to get food into Gaza by airdrop than truck because Israel keeps preventing the trucks from entering.

      My brother in Christ moving millions of people in a place with minimal infrastructure after Israel bombed it into rubble isn’t just a logistical nightmare it’s expensive, time consuming, and Israel isn’t going to just give the thumbs up. Oh - and it’s their fucking homeland.

        So is giving Israel 10 billion dollars in support of the genocide. And I’m sorry, I love living in my country but if it turned into dangerous war zone, I wouldn’t live there anymore. People don’t stay in active war zones bcz they want to. They stay bcz they have nowhere else to go.
