Freedom Flotilla Steering Committee member Col. Ann Wright tweeted the following message:
« @POTUS @SecBlinken If the Jordanians can air drop supplies into Gaza, why doesn’t the US? the US has 2 aircraft carriers offshore Gaza that could deliver tons of food and water—If YOU would let them save starving Palestinians!!! »
The Jordanians have been dropping supplies and the United States claims to want to protect civilian lives yet what actions does the US take? The US does not allow for a ceasefire resolution to pass in the Security Council, continues to provide weapons used against Palestinian civilians, requires Israel inspect and therefore slow down and limit humanitarian supplies to a starving population in need of medical supplies. It’s time the US ended its complicity in this genocide and mass displacement. It’s time the US actively protected civilian life and self-determination for the people in Gaza. It’s time the US start by air dropping the needed supplies as Jordan has shown can be done.
