Some radical, fundamental things need to be said immediately about the mass murderer Joe Biden’s idea of air-dropping aid into Gaza First, it needs to be said that the genocide of Gaza is an American operation, funded and equipped by America and protected diplomatically by an automatic and unconditional veto in the UNSC. Israel is but the edge of a razor, or an axe, wielded by the US and slashing Palestinians. So why is the US wanting to aid while mass-murdering Palestinians? Here are some reasons.

1. Management of image. The US wants to appear moral and merciful, or at least capable of deviating from the AIPAC line. So it does so mechanically, with stress on display and symbolism, as is usually the case with fake identities such as the white colonizer. It doesn’t know that to normal people this only accentuates the monstrosity, and by no means the humanity of the US.
2. Management of consciousness. As part of an ongoing psychological warfare to weaken and confuse people, Western powers always talk from two opposing perspectives. Killing while providing aid to them is a prime example of that. You can not effectively fight what you cannot grasp.
3. Helping Israel (to complete its genocide). By providing aid the US is mitigating mounting pressures to stop the Gaza holocaust.
4. Sadism. The US wants Gazans to not know what to make of food air-dropped followed by bombers, or maybe even delivered at the exact same moment, by the exact same hand. This excruciating and debilitating confusion brings sadistic joy to the US, and it is also used to prime Gazans for annihilation.
5. Strengthening the place charity has in the colonialist capitalist order. By portraying the murderer, enslaver, and exploiter as a savior through charity, capitalist colonialism, the basis for American political culture, can continue applying systemic injustice while reaping both unimaginable financial rewards and reputational benefits. Charity is a pillar of capitalist greed, corruption, and enslavement. –

   Two facts to keep in mind: A. Throughout its millennia of existence, Gaza never needed aid before Zionism (read: white capitalist colonialism). B. About half of Gazans originate from families and communities ethnically cleansed from 1948 Israel in the Nakba.

   Another aspect of just how ridiculous and divorced from reality this airdropping is:

   Gaza is a coastal city with direct access to the Mediterranean since ancient history. It is an hour’s drive from Tel Aviv, and less than that from Ben Gurion airport. It is 20 kilometers away from Ashdod seaport, Israel’s largest.

   Gaza can be accessed by land and sea easily. It has dozens of entry points. It is inseparable from the history and geography of the Mediterranean region, with Alexandria, Malta, and Crete just a few hours away by ship (maybe a day).

   Airdropping aid into Gaza makes it look like an isolated, exotic, far-off island. Somewhere between the Easter Island and Antarctica, and undergoing an alien invasion, and not an insane, delirious, hazy slaughter at the hands of America’s closest bestest ally in the world, smack at the heart of civilization. This is also how you estrange a people and a struggle. Conilialist cinema, that’s what this is.
