The USA is just in the dropping shit down from planes business doesn’t care what the payload is.

It's their hobby

So it looks like this is a policy that is followed by the Israeli occupation army, and it looks like the objective is to continue the starvation of the people of Gaza and to kill them when they dare to think that they can secure something to feed their children.

So the US isn't providing aid so much as they're baiting traps for Palestinian civilians, and failing to condemn Israel for springing said traps.

... or that's israeli disinformation/tactic to stop the aid.

... or russian propaganda to stir the pot even more before the US elections.

Good business sells ink, not printers.

Capitalism is scum that profits off suffering

[–] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I don't think this one is about capitalism though

[–] Sethayy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

How'd anything but profits motivate this?

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago

Bait.

Innocent people are easier to bomb when they're out scrambling for the food you've isolated them from.

Ok I'm not an aggressive terrorist country like the US but would they not be better putting the bombs in the food parcels I dunno

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

It's only a matter of time before the IDF latches on to that tactic, using US-funded parcels of course

[–] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Scum of the earth. Absolute scum.

GenocideJoe realized that Trump might win if he keeps supporting Israel's murders.
