Yeah honestly I can get behind this one. UN aid organizations in gaza have a proven history of “misallocating” aid directly into the hands of Hamas (thus reinforcing their hold on power).
If people want a Palestine that is democratic and free, putting food directly into the hands of those who need it is a good first step.
It’s unfortunate that food needs to be under armed guard, and it’s even more unfortunate that that armed guard is a PMC, but that’s the political reality we’re in.
America isn’t going to send in troops to fight Hamas over scraps of food - and realistically an official US military presence in Gaza would just further inflame tensions. They’ll take our money, but they don’t want us there.
