    I mean, they did.

    Then the Israelis bombed the trucks and the hungry population surround them.

    Multiple times.

    It’s literally on the news?

      No mate they keep getting turned away. Here’s one example:

      https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68486248

      and there was another convoy that Israel blocked because it had “prohibited items”, then it was searched and found to be ok but it was still denied entry because “fuck you” i guess. I can’t find the link atm but it’s out there.

        The funniest part of that article is right at the top:

        Israel has denied accusations it is preventing aid from entering Gaza.

        In the classic capitalist way, the solution is always “more”. So the plan is likely to send more food, so Israel can keep bombing the shit out of it, some will make it, and enormous profits will be generated in the process.

          We bitched on lemmy enough while providing no solutions. Providing food to starving children is bad mmkay.

            Not directly providing the weapons shooting at the food that is already there would be a great start for the US…

            Nobody is saying not to give food to the Palestinians, quite the opposite.

            It’s absolutely alright to criticize the way aid is delivered, especially if the delivery method results in massive losses of life and product.

              Not when you are blaming country B for the actions of country A.

              It’s just bad faith propaganda

                Please quote the part where I blame country B for the actions of A. I’ll wait.

                In the meantime, we’re talking about criticizing the plan to circumvent a problem country B is actively participating in. Join in when you feel comfortable.

                    Yes. If they sell it to someone knowing they are going to kill someone with it they are.

                Egypt… Where the truck are.

                Do you think America controls the sea next to Gaza?

                  You think Egypt is controlled by America?

                  Since when did that happen?

                    US allows much of Egypt military aid despite human rights concerns

                    The Biden administration has allowed much of U.S. foreign military aid to Egypt to go ahead, saying the country was vital for U.S. national security interests despite what critics have said about widespread human rights abuses.
