    “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.
