      The funniest part of that article is right at the top:

      Israel has denied accusations it is preventing aid from entering Gaza.

      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 bitched on lemmy enough while providing no solutions. Providing food to starving children is bad mmkay.

          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.

            Which American controlled border are you going to use for that? Trucks driving over the ocean bud?

              Egypt… Where the truck are.

                You think Egypt is controlled by America?

                Since when did that happen?

                  US allows much of Egypt military aid despite human rights concerns

                  The Biden administration has allowed much of U.S. foreign military aid to Egypt to go ahead, saying the country was vital for U.S. national security interests despite what critics have said about widespread human rights abuses.

                  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.
