        And bombing evacuation corridors, groupings of people etc doesn’t do that already? The US has a PR disaster on their hands right now with them sending thoughts and prayers instead of acting. If it was about that, they would have stopped already. Also, multiple incidents of soldiers firing at aid trucks, yet money still flows.

        Hah, I wish. Possibly, maybe, if it’s a Monday and Biden is in a bad mood. But I would bet a day’s wages that Israel could “accidentally” down a US plane carrying aid and the only thing that would come of it is some finger wagging.

        You would think, but the US has demonstrated that Israel gets a free pass to do whatever they want. Much like Saudi Arabia.
