TEL AVIV, Israel - The U.S. military on Saturday said it began dropping food over the Gaza Strip, a war-torn enclave desperate for humanitarian aid.

A “a combined humanitarian assistance airdrop into Gaza” of over 38,000 meals along the coastline using C-130 aircraft was conducted by U.S. and Jordanian air forces, U.S. Central Command said in a statement.

    I’m trying to find the article but i can’t find it in my history. I could swear the article I read was modified. It clearly said our foreign minister had a call with Israel’s foreign minister about a Gazan massacre while they were getting aid and she said the call was frustrating. But the whole article was cut in half.

    It wasn’t an air drop though. It was an aid convoy.

    This is some 1984 shit. News being rewritten to remove facts.

      If you suspect that it’s been modified, try going to places like the internet archive or archivetoday to check. The claims you’ve made seem big, so back them up with sources.

        Ok but still… How the fuck are we supposed to back our fucking claims when governments are putting pressure on news and information media to modify their articles to cut out incriminating information about Israel or any other state??? This is some 1984 level bullshit.

        We should be scared of this. This is wrong!!!

        How can you ask for a fucking source then??? How are you supposed to believe what you see?

        2+2=5 at this point. Fuck this.

          I know it feels bad in the world, but the person you’re responding to already gave you the answer to your questions.

      Honestly it’s more likely that you missremembered or maybe the article was incorrect and it was fixed.
