"Three U.S. C-130 cargo planes dropped 66 total bundles, equating to about 38,000 pork-free meals, into the territory on Saturday morning. The bundles were split between three planes, the official said."
"The airdrop is expected to be the first of many announced by President Joe Biden on Friday. The aid will be coordinated with Jordan, which has also conducted airdrops to deliver food to Gaza."

Spending millions of dollars of relief aid for the millions of dollars of genocidal actions they funded that caused for a need for relief aid in the first place.
This is like the Mafia sending you flowers in the hospital after they broke your knees.
Do you think that this genocide wouldn't have happened if thr US didn't supply weapons?
Literally yes. If Israel didn't have unconditional US support they'd have run out of bombs a long time ago. And probably gotten partitioned by their neighbors.
No, they wouldn't have. Israel has an impressive military of its own.
We're all gonna die some day, that doesn't mean it's okay to murder.
I'm not saying its okay to murder. Just you should focus your hate on the guys actually DOING the murdering not the person that sold them the weapons.
I'm not saying America is innocent just even if they didn't arm Israel, it woukdt really change anything
Gotcha. So if I read the comment right, in this case it probably isn't relevant that the US not selling the weapons would result in the same outcome.
I read the original comment as pointing out the hypocrisy in both providing aid whilst arming the attackers. As well as pointing out the commenters issues with the US being complicit in the attacks.
In my opinion, it doesn't matter if they would have done it anyway, the US is still guilty of being complicit regardless of how much aid they provide.
Yes the US still bares some guilt, but compared to the guilt the Israelis bare its inconsequential and not really worth the effort, because even if you managed to get the US to stop shipping weapons, it wouldn't stop thr genocide, so your effort is way better used trying to get the US to stop Israel from comiiting genocide, for example by not vetoing un resolutions.
Tldr there are better things to be at the US government about regarding this genocide.
Agreed there are better things to be angry at.
Disagreed that the US guilt is inconsequential.
But these are just our opinions and we're allowed to have different ones :)
