U.S. Government Insults People’s Intelligence by PR Stunt:
Air-Drops Food Onto Gazan Corpses U.S. Weapons Killed.
Many of the corpses had starved to death. The U.S. Government now is propagandizing its kindness to the world, by air-dropping food onto Gaza, whose perhaps a million corpses had been slaughtered by Israeli pilots flying U.S.-donated war-planes, dropping U.S.-donated bombs onto live Gazans, and so turned them into corpses, which now are rotting under the rubble of the collapsed buildings there. Much of that donated food is probably now also rotting there.

Britain’s Reuters headlined on March 12th, “View from a US military aid flight shows Gaza desolation”, and opened:
OVER GAZA, March 12 (Reuters) - As a U.S C-130 aircraft flew over the Gaza Strip to drop food to people facing famine, there were few visible signs of life in the jumbled rubble of what was a bustling urban jungle before the Israel-Hamas war.
The plane descended to 3,000 feet over the Mediterranean Sea and northern Gaza. A U.S. Air Force crew cut ropes on aid pallets packed in Jordan and released a dozen large bundles with parachutes from the C-130's open rear doors.
The food aid was targeted for north Gaza, where the need is most desperate, and brought the total air-dropped by the U.S. military in cooperation with Western and Arab countries since March 3 to 1 million pounds, the military said.
The view of Gaza from above revealed many flattened buildings, others in stages of collapsing or entirely turned to charred rubble from an Israeli offensive that started after a Hamas attack on Oct. 7. Plumes of smoke rose from the ruins. …
Right now, since Israel had demanded all Gazans who hoped to survive to go southward and ultimately into Gaza’s most southeastern town of Raffah (population 28,000), there are an estimated 1.4 million such survivors now in Raffah, and Israel’s President Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed with U.S. President Joe Biden to pretend together that Biden, who faces a re-election contest on November 5th, opposes Israel’s either genociding or ethnically cleansing Gazans out of Gaza, but will not stop nor reduce America’s donating to Israel the weapons and military intelligence that are enabling it to be completed. Thus, for example, on Sunday, March 10th, Politico headlined “Netanyahu vows to defy Biden’s ‘red line’ on Rafah”, and reported that, “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he intends to press ahead with an invasion of the city of Rafah on the southern border of the Gaza Strip in defiance of United States President Joe Biden, who has warned such an offensive would be a ‘red line.’ Amid signs of increasing frustration with Netanyahu, the U.S. president told MSNBC on Saturday that he opposed an escalation of the conflict into Rafah, and that he could not accept ’30,000 more Palestinians dead.’” However, if he really had had that “red line,” then why has he promised Netanyahu that the U.S. Government won’t under any circumstances reduce or halt the American weapons and satellite intelligence that enable Israel to do this? On February 13th, Politico headlined that “US won’t punish Israel for Rafah op that doesn’t protect civilians” and said that the Biden Administration has informed the Netanyahu Administration that if it decides that it has no practicable way to expel the Gazans to foreign lands (which Israel’s Government — assisted by America’s Government — has been trying to do ever since October 16th) then the U.S. Government won’t punish Israel if it simply slaughters all of them. “No reprimand plans are in the works, meaning Israeli forces could enter the city and harm [Politico’s euphemism for slaughter] civilians without facing American consequences [meaning punishment]. More than half of the enclave’s 2.3 million population has fled to Rafah.” So: that would entail slaughtering what then were 1.15 million Gazans there but now are instead estimated at 1.4 million. The Politico article made no mention of what would be done with the 1.15 million (now 1.4 million) survivors, but if Netanyahu would halt the extermination program at that point, a rationale for discontinuing the operation there would be hard if not impossible to imagine — Israel would already have slaughtered at least half of the Gazans.
This ethnic cleansing or else genocide is actually a joint U.S. and Israeli operation. Israel’s Jewish News Service reported on November 27th:
Israel’s dependence on the United States was stated bluntly by retired IDF Maj. General Yitzhak Brick in an interview earlier this week.
“All of our missiles, the ammunition, the precision-guided bombs, all the airplanes and bombs, it’s all from the U.S. The minute they turn off the tap, you can’t keep fighting. You have no capability. … Everyone understands that we can’t fight this war without the United States. Period.”
According to the Washington Post on 9 December 2023, “In the first month and a half, Israel dropped more than 22,000 guided and unguided bombs on Gaza that were supplied by Washington, according to previously undisclosed intelligence figures provided to Congress.”
On January29th, YNET News, the most popular internet portal in Israel, headlined “Global ammunition shortage forces Israel to limit bombings”, and they reported that “Over 25,000 tons of weapons have been delivered to Israel via approximately 280 aircraft and 40 ships from the U.S. since the onset of the conflict.” So, obviously, Biden, rather than being “The President [who] will continue to work for peace in the Middle East,” is instead actually an equal partner along with Netanyahu, in carrying out this Israel-U.S.-planned genocide.
The U.S. Government insults the intelligence of people by using this PR ploy of air-dropping food onto Gazan corpses.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
