The airdrop came only a few days after Canadian aid had been sent into Gaza. That effort was conducted by Jordan, which borders Israel and the West Bank. At the time, Anand posted a photo of pallets with Canadian flags taped to them.

    Honestly airdrops are like one truck worth of supplies, inefficient, and not super effective. Pressure needs to be put on Israel to allow food and aid trucks back into Gaza. This isn’t going to stave off starvation, it’s making Canada look good. Still with the climate as it is, I can’t knock anyone doing anything trying to help. Keep fighting everyone.

    Good. More. At this point we as a group of nations should be airlifting aid trucks in and out of Gaza since the Israelis aren’t letting sufficient aid in.

    There will come a day in a number of years from now, when we look back at the Gaza Genocide and for some reason everyone will have been against it and everyone will have sided with the Palestinians all along, and everyone will have hated Israel’s government the entire time.

    A fat lot of good that will do the tens or hundreds of thousands of innocent people murdered while we posted memes and argued with each other if it’s antisemitic to bomb schools.

    As a Canadian, I am happy to see this.

    I just hope they were able to get it there quickly enough that they didn’t have to refrigerate the cheese curds

    they want them to eat a bit before Israel murder them. Just start sanctioning Israel and stop selling and buying arms
