I mean, they did.
Then the Israelis bombed the trucks and the hungry population surround them.
Multiple times.
It's literally on the news?
No mate they keep getting turned away. Here's one example:
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68486248
and there was another convoy that Israel blocked because it had "prohibited items", then it was searched and found to be ok but it was still denied entry because "fuck you" i guess. I can't find the link atm but it's out there.
If the truck that drives through a gate gets shot by the IDF then a truck that drives off a boat can also get shot by the IDF
And sadly most of the trucks are not getting through the border to be bombed by israel
The funniest part of that article is right at the top:
"If there were an Oscar for best theatrical performance by a country, Israel would win every year. It's a country based on theater. It's a lunatic state - completely insane."
Norman Finkelstein
"We have always been at war with Eastasia."
In the classic capitalist way, the solution is always "more". So the plan is likely to send more food, so Israel can keep bombing the shit out of it, some will make it, and enormous profits will be generated in the process.
We did it Patrick. We saved Palestine.
Ship corn, IDF bombs it, you now have popcorn for Palestinians, checkmate Israel
We bitched on lemmy enough while providing no solutions. Providing food to starving children is bad mmkay.
We did it Patrick. We saved Palestine.
Not directly providing the weapons shooting at the food that is already there would be a great start for the US..
Nobody is saying not to give food to the Palestinians, quite the opposite.
It's absolutely alright to criticize the way aid is delivered, especially if the delivery method results in massive losses of life and product.
Not when you are blaming country B for the actions of country A.
It's just bad faith propaganda
Please quote the part where I blame country B for the actions of A. I'll wait.
In the meantime, we're talking about criticizing the plan to circumvent a problem country B is actively participating in. Join in when you feel comfortable.
When country B gives A the bombs to commit genocide with?
Are gun store owners responsible for every murder committed with the weapons they sell?
Yes. If they sell it to someone knowing they are going to kill someone with it they are.
South Africa made a good 84 page document laying that out for you.
How about entering those trucks
Which American controlled border are you going to use for that? Trucks driving over the ocean bud?
Egypt... Where the truck are.
Do you think America controls the sea next to Gaza?
You think Egypt is controlled by America?
Since when did that happen?
Egypt gets 1 billion dollar in American weapons every year to violently surpress their population with
US allows much of Egypt military aid despite human rights concerns
Here's an interesting graph from 2020 about American proxy countries (Afghanistan is over now):
The 51st state, Egypt. Which is why it is on a chart with all those other states.
They can't stop us all
