IDF's gonna shoot down our planes to prevent the corn syrup calories reaching their destination
I just realized that Biden made the joke far weirder. He's skipping 20 years and jumping to the crying part while the atrocities are happening.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Burning down my neighbors house with everybody locked inside then throwing a handful of saltiness at the smoldering remains so nobody gets mad at me.
well, Israel has just shown what they will do when Palestinians reach for their airdropped aid, so I guess Biden's now okay with it
Use those big beautiful carrier groups to enforce a no-fly zone over Gaza
Do it bish
I dare you
He already is. It's called humanitarian bombing
If they did this there is a 100% chance that the IDF starts dropping fake food boxes full of bombs to maximize death
They already did.
I mean I guess it's better than not airdropping aid into Gaza but if he were to do something more drastic like actually make Israel stop, his career and to an extent the US might even be salvageable.

The entire thing is utterly bizarre. Biden has turned into Trump 2.0. When Trump was in office - he got affirmation he was doing the right thing from Fox News. I can imagine Biden saying to his aides "I bet they'll like it on the show tomorrow. They'll like it a lot." And he puffs out his chest. He can't wait for tomorrow when the people on Morning Joe say how much they back his new idea. They'll love this maybe even more than the right-wing border bill.
It's literally not better.
At best it will have zero effect because the scale of aid needed would require round the clock airdrops from a neverending stream of the biggest planes we have and at worst Isreal is going to use it like a bait pile to shoot more people.
And in the meantime you won't be allowed to criticize America because "were the only country directly giving aid to the palestinians"
From the time they were created and used in 1993 until November 2001, [Humanitarian Daily Rations] were packaged with a bright yellow outer plastic covering. This choice of color proved to be problematic in areas of the world where cluster bombs were being used, as the bombs were the exact same shade of yellow. Recipients of the rations sometimes confused the ration package for undetonated cluster bombs, often spotting the bright color from a distance and making an incorrect assumption.

They're Baker-Miller pink now (the rations, not the cluster bombs (I hope))
They misunderstood, Biden already clarified that the "humanitarian aid" is intended to help Israel defend itself from Palestinians. They are suggesting to air-drop bombs.
in unrelated news, lockheed martin scores a lucrative new contract to develop a type of bomb you can eat
Air drops are inefficient, expensive, dangerous, and only helpful when there are no other delivery options. Air drops are primarily for the Biden administration's benefit - to paper over a massive policy failure.
