    They barely delivered any aid. This was a boondoggle.

    It’s amazing the military ineptness people excuse.

      It’s not ineptitude. Their hands are tied by the government from providing aid in any effective way.

        I’d say the U.S. not offering Israel any more support until they open the borders to aid would go a long way to solving things.

        But apparently that’s going way beyond the pale.

          And how exactly will that put food in the hands of the starving Palestinians?

          Again with the “if it’s not perfect, it’s not worth doing” bullshit I’m so tired of hearing about this conflict.

            Sorry… how will letting aid trucks into Gaza put food in the hands of starving Palestinians?

            You know what aid trucks are, right?

              You can’t be dense enough to believe that if the US stops sending Isreal aid, that suddenly Isreal will suddenly magically be completely disarmed, and aid trucks will suddenly be able to move freely. Aid trucks aren’t even on the table.

                  And what other conclusion is there to your answers?

                  Me: How would YOU put food into Palestinian hands?

                  You: Stop sending aid to Isreal.

                  Me: How does that put food in Palestinian hands?

                  You: Aid trucks
