  • I’m hungry. I spent all my grocery money and I have no food left. You take 30% of my pay straight from my check. Criminals.
  • @easter_sunday
    That pier wasn't built for humanitarian relief. Its true intention is exporting LNG.
  • @NormalHangry
    Waste of tax payer money. Meanwhile Americans are starving and stressing daily. Stop sending aid to the thankless.
  • Who stole all the food 🤔🤫🤭 surprise 🎉 no one saw that coming 😂
  • @LiamPopSmith

    More worried about other nations and the oil reserves they have beneath them than your own people. Did they mention arms for Hamas is with those shipments? And a couple of pallets of money.
  • @corsh2715
    $300 million wasted, when the US can just as easily force Israel to not starve Gaza and allow aid in
  • @jasonb.7609
    How about zero aid for Illegal immigrants, Ukraine, Israel and Palestine!
  • @kathywalker4195
    I saw that several if the reporters micro focusing on the aid to the Palestinians are very welcome to get to Cyprus, board a ship, then the trucks to make it to the warehouses and observe the NGOs distribution of that aid, then they can tell the military how it should be done to meet their expectations. Or, perhaps they might question the Iranians as to why they are not feeding and caring for those they are in habit of using as meat shields. Before someone tries to take issue with me, the US is a cog in the wheel of this humanitarian aid, AND have also been doing air drops. So trying to micromanage how much, and why not more, and how much has been distributed, etc, take a note. You have been directed to the proper agencies to answer those questions. Otherwise, suit up to do a journalistic ride along with the military, etc and get your answers first hand, then offer your expertise in managing it better. Ridiculous that it is the same question over and over. And not a single question about the hostages.

    That is, working with NATO to stabilize the region you used NATO to specifically and deliberately destabilize.

    No aid for terrorists. FJB
