"The time when countries use air drops, and these maritime piers, is usually if not always, in situations when you want to deliver humanitarian aid into enemy territory,"
That should have spelled it out enough for those that don't understand. Gaza is considered enemy territory as a direct result of Hamas actions. So the US is trying to help the innocent in a hostile environment.
.... or Hamas could follow any international law, and stop doing terrorists attacks, stop actually targeting civilians indiscriminately and without warning or any pretext of a military objective. Like gtfo, Hamas is outmatched in every concievable way and their continued resort to war crimes and terrorism is the only reason anyone is dying in Gaza.
Surrender is the honorable thing here and it's what Hamas would do if it gave a single fuck about any dead body in Gaza. The fact of the matter is there is nothing more that Hamas loves to see than dead Palestinian kids, and that's why they aren't surrendering, preying on your delicate sensibilities and basic instinct.
Hamas came into existence because of Israel's gross international law violations, like the siege on Gaza, the apartheid wall, Jerusalem being ethnically cleansed, that sort of stuff.
Without Israeli aggression, Hamas would never be here.
Because whenever you try to target class, it ends up excluding on race.
Every single time it just so happens that white applicants hoovered up all the available program benefits and NOBODY ever knows why!
Not to mention the racial wealth gap, it is impossible to achieve racial equality so long as the same amount is being given to everyone. All that's doing is maintaining the current wealth gap, it does nothing to close the gap.
Equality will not be achieved until white people can fucking let go of the fact that black folks have to get stuff that white people will not for everyone to be on the same playing field, and that's just economically, we're not even talking about how "just hire the most qualified candidate!" only ever seems to be an issue when the qualified candidate is a PoC.

That's an implementation / corruption issue, then. Fix the root cause, not the symptoms.

Assuming 90% of PoC qualify, and 30% of whites (or whatever the actual numbers are), if everybody has an equal chance at aid based on their wealth, PoC should receive the majority of aid. If that's not happening, I refer you back to point 1.
Black people are poorer on average because of systemic racism, and they get shut out of benefits not specifically sectioned for them and them alone because of systemic racism.
Poor whites aren't poor because of literal centuries of being treated as literal farm animals, complete with actual husbandry programs when importation became illegal.
Poor whites aren't struggling to find affordable housing because of being specifically excluded from New Deal era housing loans.
Poor whites aren't facing all that on top of being disproportionately likely to just randomly get murdered by the fucking cops.
Poor Whites can afford to sit the fuck down and let the black folks have what was intended for them.
I was concerned that this comment only had 5 downvotes, but then I saw you'd only posted it 12 minutes ago, so I have faith it will be bombed into oblivion as it deserves.
Targeted corrections to racism are not racism and racism is a separate problem from class. Sorry the demographic massively overrepresented in business and politics might have a few programs not available to them.
Firing on innocent merchant ships is despicable regardless of which country they're owned by. The crews on those ships aren't the ones perpetuating a genocide.
@Linkerbaan just want to say that i admire your perseverance.
Explaining, with sources, to some of the same users everyday on different posts, and having to take their shitty insults everytime.
I don't think i could do it, but i appreciate that you do. Because I, and I'm sure many others, have learnt a lot from the information you provide.
Thanks. It has also forced me to get educated on the subject in order to respond to those people.
I am very glad to see (global) opinion on the matter shifting rapidly. The faster that the opinion shifts the less people will get killed in this Genocide.
If I could make one suggestion please financially support content creators such as GDF, Uncivilized and/or Owen Jones if you have the means to do so.
The israeli propaganda machine is incredibly expensive, yet more fragile than ever. Many independent content creators are absolutely demolishing them, and providing people like me with condensed knowledge.
HRW may very well be right here, but if the only investigation the police does after a homicide is talk to some witnesses... but you know, never actually check for fingerprints, or in this case... analyze fragments from the rocket, then I'm not going to go all in and say that they've done much of a report. How convenient that people act like this is all the proof they need without even reading what they actually examined.
That's great, but a hundred bucks says they'll be ad free for those subscribers for 5 years or so and then they will creep back in, then you'll need a Facebookplus+ subscription to get rid of the ads.
