BHM: Fine but lets not deceive ourselves by maintaining the delusion that these supplies will not get into the hands of Hamas. Now today Biden announces $100M in new Palestinian Aid. We are funding both sides of the war. Not optimal.

No Mike, we aren't funding both sides of the war, and it's a misrepresentation to say that. Anyone who thinks has to recognize some of the food, water, and medical supplies will get diverted, but we have the opticals of a declared siege on an area that's 95-99% civilians. I mean a siege? Israel is going Medieval on Gaza?

So we back off the big talk, allow humanitarian aid in. Not worried if some of Hamas gets to eat, drink, etc., because sieges won't get international support for long. And Israel gets to do it's offensive - which will be painted as a holocaust. We need as much international support as we can get.

Unlike what Dope and some of the MAGATS think, alliances, and maintaining alliances, are going to be key things for the US from here on out. Let's not toss hard won good will into the trash bin,and be serious about maintaining it.
