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.

        Obviously they don’t. Lemmy is a hive of bloodthirsty fascists pretending to be progressive.

        Aiding a genocide is a crime is it not?

          That isn’t the pertinent question to ask. A better question would be: isn’t this the messaging that everyone was looking for?

            I would disagree that this is not a pertinent question. Did Biden know Israel was going to use those weapons for war crimes? If yes he needs to see consequences. That in itself is a war crime. Y’all are too soft on your representatives.

            Some people are literally never going to be satisfied.

            News flash: if you tell everyone that you won’t be satisfied with anything remotely possible, people will stop listening to you.

            Stop being like MAGA chuds who don’t even know what they want. They just want “to win”.

              He hasn’t accomplished anything yet.

              Why are you all still talking? Biden has your votes. Be quiet and let the people who are on the fence have the floor. Stop fighting us.

              Stop pretending Biden achieves anything before he does it.

              We heard this dumb excuse of “we’re trying” for months while Biden keeps sending israel more bombs.

            Or up the timeline. Biden is thinking this statement is enough to get him over the line. It’s not. He’s too slow. This call should have been made months ago. Cutting off arms shipments should be happening today.

                Life moves forward. Biden needs to move faster.
