The White House is exploring the possibility of airdropping aid from U.S. military planes into Gaza as deliveries by land become increasingly difficult, four U.S. officials told Axios.
Just fucking absurd, considering the US withdrawing aid and support to Israels genocide would put a halt to it pretty much overnight.
Israel is already pretty fed up with Bibi. If he’s costing them US aid, dude’s gone in a flash.
Sadly even if we pulled all military support for Israel immediately, they still have enough weapons in stock to wipe Gaza off the map.

It would be more than enough of a blow. To even suggest withholding aid would be enough to stop this madness. Israel doesn’t exactly have many regional friends, they haven’t exactly been great neighbors. Meanwhile, the Arab nations are watching the same genocide we are, ones not dependent on US aid. If the US was even hinting at this, Israel will fold, immediately. This genocide doesn’t happen without US support.
I disagree. I think all of BB’s rhetoric has him painted into a corner to the point he can’t back down come hell or high water, and anything short of a blockade or US troops holding gaza won’t actually change anything but the propaganda.
Israel has won simultaneous wars with all of its neighbors, multiple times.
They gave back Sinai specifically because they lost that military advantage, though. Arab militaries now aren’t the pussies they were in 1967.
Not to mention Turkey, Iran, and Pakistan have more than enough force projection now to join in this time
For Iran or Pakistan to join, they would have to go through Jordan which is unlikely given their alliance with both Israel and the US. I suppose Turkey could attack from the sea, but they are part of NATO and would be fucking themselves.
Band aids to Palestina, weapons to Israel.
exploring the possibility of maybe eventually considering sending bandaids.
Weapons got sent and UNRWA’s funding happened in the blink of an eye
The proposed US deal had triple the aid to Palestine as Israel, but the GOP fucked that up.
