What he finally started kind of halfway doing and not sending the weapons and ammo.
The only things I have wanted since the beginning were: only send defensive munitions( Iron dome missiles) and get more aid in there.
If he would have clearly announced to the world his intentions to put one American soldier per aid truck and driven right through, either they wouldn’t have done shit, and the aid would have got through, or they would’ve pulled a USS liberty combined with a WCK and proved they weren’t our allies.
Either way, this war would be different.
Either we would have safe civilians.
The main thing I wanted from Israel was them to protect the civilians.
I said a long time ago that they could have done exactly what they are doing now, except the tents would have been maybe a kilometer into Israel.
It could have had fences and dead lines around it.
They could have setup a whole are with an, easy, efficient, and safe living area with food, bathing, electricity, medical stations and open live-streamed cameras everywhere.
The us would have fucking paid for those and then Israel could slowly let people in while vetting them carefully.
Would there still have been people that called them concentration camps? Oh fuck yeah, but they would have been easily countered by the livestreams.
Would some hummus members slip in? Yes, but there is only so much they could do in an area where they were searched with body scanners before they allowed in and that cameras are covering every square inch of.
It would have accomplished more, while gaining the Israelis international repute instead of the opposite.
