“Enough w/ the gimmicks of dropping food from the air & building a pier in two months,” Josh Ruebner, an adjunct lecturer at Georgetown University and former policy director of the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, wrote in a social media post directed at Biden.
Since when is air dropping aid a gimmick?
70,000 meals have been dropped in Gaza over the past week, which is a small portion of what’s needed considering the territory has a population of more than 2 million people.
It’s theater. US could force Israel to comply and let the aid in, but instead this is a cheap trick to try and win back voters who think Biden is a failure on this issue.
And now this genocidal apologist is talking about building some stupid pier. More theater.
The President sends bombs that kill Palestinians and now the airdropped aid kills Palestinians as well. This is atrocious and it has to stop. - Ilhan Omar
