Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

They dont send food because Israel blocks it. In fact the aid to Gaza on land is mainly coming through Jordan and then gets pillaged by Isareli terrorists supported by the government. When Egypt wanted to send humanitarian aid in November through Rafah crossing, Israel bombed it repeatedly.
Meanwhile the US is literally supplying the very weapons that are murdering the people in Gaza. And even when the US claims to provide humanitarian aid, like with that Pier they built it ends up in reality being used to facilitate massacres like in Nusereit, using aid trucks as disguise for Israeli genocide forces.
I don't know what you are smoking, but it most be strong if you believe Israel could act without the massive support and endorsement by the US government. Israel is primarily to blame as they are directly committing the genocide and then comes the US as the are delivering the weapons and providing diplomatic cover, even threatening international courts that want Israeli war criminals to face justice.
Egypt had their own gate into Gaza until very recently. And Gaza has a giant coastline. That's why Biden built a port in Gaza. So he could send in food aid.
Nope. Israel cannot bomb Egypt without starting a major war.
Biden's humanitarian aid pier can be used by any country. How come Turkey isn't using it to send aid? Lebanon? Anybody in Arab land?
So you want all food aid to Gaza stopped, because of Hamas Crime Syndicate propaganda? Sounds like you yourself are supporting genocide whether you know it or not.
Dude Israel literally defied a UN Security Council resolution from Biden to stop the war. What the heck are you smoking?
Israel bombed the Gazan side of the crossing, destroying the roads and making it unpassable for trucks. Also Israel killed two Egyptian soldiers when taking over the crossing.
As the US continued to send billions in bombs to Israel and will soon host Netanyahu despite the ICC seeking him as war criminal. You know that the UN resolutions only work if the powerful countries enforce them? Guess who would have to enforce it by just not sending weapons. But he still does. Judge actions, not words.
Then Egypt could have sent soldiers in. In fact, I bet Israel would have been totally fine if Egypt simply took over the entire Gaza area. The entire war could end tomorrow if Egypt simply agreed to do that.
Nobody. Previous aid has nothing at all to do with implementing the UN ceasefire resolution. Biden already stopped sending any types of weapons that could be used in Gaza because Israel has a terrible PM. Israel can buy any weapons it wants on the international market. The idea that the US could magically stop the war is nonsense, as is the idea that Biden has done nothing, as is the idea that the countries in the region do not have the chief power and responsibility to do what they could.
