The US President made the remarks during a meeting Italy's Prime Minister.

The US will begin air dropping food aid to the people of Gaza, President Joe Biden announced on Friday, as the humanitarian crisis deepens and Israel continues to resist opening additional land crossings to allow more assistance into the war-torn strip.

Speaking in the Oval Office, Biden said the US would be “pulling out every stop” to get additional aid into Gaza, which has been under heavy bombardment by Israel since the October 7 Hamas terror attacks.

“Aid flowing to Gaza is nowhere nearly enough,” the US President said, noting “hundreds of trucks” should be entering the enclave.

Biden said the US is “going to insist that Israel facilitate more trucks and more routes to get more and more people the help they need, no excuses”.

He also noted the efforts to broker a deal to free the hostages and secure an “immediate ceasefire” that would allow additional aid in.

    We’re not. We’re blaming them for being fucking idiots who will vote in a literal dictator because they’re mad at Biden. Someone who will do far more damage to and destroy hundreds of millions of lives in the US and the rest of the world.

    30,000 deaths in another country is nothing compared to US deaths little orange is responsible for when you only consider his one choice to fuck over pandemic response at the beginning of the pandemic. Dude has the deaths of millions on his hands already.

    Anyone, any human being alive, that would vote for him is a fucking idiot that needs to give their head a bashing

    I love that you used the phrase democratic choice to describe it too. A+

      First you say “were not” and then in the next sentence you say “we do”. Good one.

      Best part about a democracy is that everyone gets to vote.

      Worst part is that everyone gets to vote.

      This is how it works. Just because you’re afraid of being on the losing side doesn’t mean anything has changed.

      And before you start yapping on. I’m not American. We don’t work on a 2 party system. I’m just saying what everyone else can see looking in.

      You can’t support democracy ONLY when your side gets what they want.
