Joe Biden is getting so much pushback from Muslim and Arab voters in Michigan over his support for Israel, that he and his Keystone Kop administration keep coming up with progressively stupider schemes to appease them, fearful that a loss of support from the key voting bloc could cost the president Michigan’s electoral votes.
Last week, Biden announced that the US military would begin airdropping humanitarian supplies into Gaza.
It was a tremendously stupid idea from the jump.
The problem isn’t a lack of humanitarian aid getting into Gaza. The problem is that Hamas steals all the humanitarian aid, leaving nothing for the Palestinian civilians.
Airdropping the supplies won’t change that. The Biden administration can’t ensure that the aid they drop from above makes it to the civilian population below.
How this plan ever got beyond the dry-erase board is a head-scratcher, but it did, and the results were even worse than we could’ve expected.
During Friday’s airdrop, five Palestinians were killed when at least one of the parachutes failed to deploy, sending the bundle of aid plummeting to the ground at a high speed.
As awful as the news was, I laughed. God forgive me, but I howled laughing, not at the five dead Palestinians, mind. I laughed because this scene is what popped into my head:
What can I say? I have a dark sense of humor.
Biden’s latest brainstorm … (though, in Joe’s case, it’s less of a storm and more of an intermittent shower) … is for the US military to construct a temporary pier in Gaza so shipments can arrive directly by boat on the Mediterranean.
What an absurd plan.
Hamas will confiscate the shipped supplies while civilians in Gaza will continue to go hungry and thirsty.
The only difference is that US troops will be on the ground in Gaza, providing material support for a terrorist organization that is holding five Americans hostage.
What could possibly go wrong?
