When it’s providing aid, it’s the “military,” when it’s providing weapons it’s, “Biden.” Yet, the republicans are trying to force Biden to send weapons, not the other way around.
See how the misinformation plan is working?

Biden also directly ordered the military construction of the Gaza aid delivery port directly through the Pentagon. That was done without congressional approval.
Anyone want to ask what will happen if this aid convoy is accidentally hit with a rocket?
Israel will promptly be given new rockets to replace the spent ones. Presumably.
Same as the last time. The US has been clear that no US boots will be on the ground in Gaza, so we will either: A) wag are finger and request an Israeli investigation if it appears the rocket came from Israel or B) issue a strongly worded statement condemming Hamas for the deliberate attack.
That's a good first step to calm untold suffering. Thanks to Biden's America. I hope he can again block arms shipments.
Yes, he smashed the vase to smithereens, but look how generous he is with the scotch tape!
It was Biden’s America that has been suppling the arms that has escalated and enabled the untold suffering, right?
if you would divide America into Biden's America v.s. trump's America then, the answer for me is clear : here Biden took one good step.
Most of America: I don’t want either. Why are we dividing the country up like this?
So, what problem does this pier solve?
It gets aid to the border of Gaza. But once that aid is at the border it still needs to be loaded onto trucks and distributed by land.
In contrast, we have been able to get aid to the border by land for decades.
What is the problem that land based deliveries faced, that maritime based deliveries will not?
