"farmer works with fox to coordinate safe escape for chickens"

maybe handing this shit directly to the people bombing infants in hospitals makes clear its all a publicity stunt

Last time someone tried to deliver some aid, the IDF bombed them because they thought they were Hamas.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Central_Kitchen_aid_convoy_attack

The IDF fired three missiles in five minutes at three of the WCK's cars, with some survivors of the first strike boarding the second car, which was minutes later hit by a second missile, and some survivors of the second strike boarding the third car, which was in turn struck by a third missile.[3] All seven aid workers were killed

But the IDF said sorry we were thinking it was Hamas so again the west is ok with that

Working with Israel to find safe routes:

UN: we could deliver aid to the sick dying children here.

Israel: Cant. We are bombing there.

America: This is ok.

This pier has got to be one of the most expensive examples of virtue signaling ever. Since Israel controls the land that the pier connects to, aid that comes off this pier would always get the exact same treatment as aid that hits an Israeli overland checkpoint, the pier is a pointless + very costly edifice.

Imo the only reason that it exists is so that the USA government can claim to be helping by throwing money at the problem, without actually doing anything about the problem.

It was never meant to, as it would interfere with Israel's use of Starvation as a cheap Final Solution for Gaza.

It was only ever meant to generate the right kind of images on TV in order to sway enough Progressives to keep voting for Biden so that he wins the upcoming election.

The whole thing is pretty much like a slum landlord loudly "giving money to Charity" whilst squeezing large numbers of poor tenants who have no other options with expensive rents and bad conditions: a symbolic "positive" action propagandized very loudly while far vaster negative actions are kept as much as possible quiet, so that for outside observers - who judge the scope of those actions by what they see rather than what is actually happenning - the total looks like positive and they conclude this is a good person.

Of course, as per the track record of the American and Israeli propaganda so far, the failure of something which was always meant to fail is, just like every single bad action by Israel without exception, blamed on Hamas.

Do you mean to tell me that the guy who spent his entire decades-long career unwaveringly supporting the apartheid state currently committing genocide, who sent them billions of dollars of military equipment while they were performing a genocide, who redefined criticism of the government committing said genocide as hate speech, who threatened international courts for trying to hold the genocidal country accountable - are you telling me that person failed to provide an ounce of material support to the people being genocided? No way. I mean, when was the last time an American politician said something that was purely performative?

Of course not. We saw the same thing in darfur. The warlords create a famine to get aid shipments and then use the aid shipments to feed their soldiers.

Obviously we still need to do everything we can to feed Gaza, but there needs to be an understanding wrapped into that that Hamas are not freedom fighters. Freedom fighters do not use starvation of the people they seek to liberate as a propaganda weapon.

God forbid it turns into something like this:

The chosen people doing gods work, its what he clearly would have wanted..

"I say unto thee... take thy aid meant for the sick, the destitute, the broken.. and yeet it into thy sea 🤷‍♂️"

Oh man, I just love it how you guys downvote these propaganda faschists into oblivion. They think Lemmy is like FB, where they can get together and push their BS onto us, distracting from the real problem that they try to hide.
