This Christmas, should USA drop gifts of medicine, teddy bears and toys, and food over Gaza?

[lightbulb27]

Currently, USA is dropping bombs over Gaza.. um... we'll, we're dealing with terrorists... via proxy Israel. I won't' get into the politics... it's Christmas time! Call it what you want, people are being slaughtered and with no hope, and its awful. That is not very Merry and it makes a little difficult to be "joyful", ya know?

Thing is... Dec 25... it's Christmas time... ya know... celebrating when Christ was born and we give gifts. St. Nichlaus... he once visited "Palestine". Say whatever you want... there is no way in HELL that Christ would want the USA dropping bombs over Gaza, Nazareth, or Bethlehem. This is really bad vibes folks...

So your thoughts on doing. It's a risk to some air crews, but no planes have been shot down. China can be making the teddy bears now...

Thoughts?

Must do, could change the world!

Good idea, but complex logistics

Terrible idea

[NamerOfStars]

Insofar as Hamas has not only been elected into political office in Palestine, but demonstrated a willingness to use its people as human shields, I'll never understand the attitude that Israel are the bad guys in this situation, any more than the US invasion of Afghanistan after the September 11th attacks. The official death toll of that war on the local civilian population was over 46,000, and that's WITH Obama's disgustingly sexist policy that any "military-aged male" is considered an enemy combatant unless evidence posthumously proves otherwise; considerably higher than the 3,000 we lost.

But when you deliberately target the civilian population of a powerful country with a very strong military, you really have no right to complain when that military comes stomping in to knock you down. The Afghans reaped what they sowed during the Soviet invasion, and now the Palestinians are learning the same lesson. Sending them medicine that Hamas would "confiscate" would be providing aid and comfort to a known terrorist organization.

[lightbulb27]

Jesus, the guy in question, said feed your enemies... walk an extra mile with them. I definitely think dropping bombs is not what He intended.
They would use medicine... how... to cause trouble?
I can see them abusing toys by making bombs. drop letters from children around the world written to them. Isolating them off with no hope under hamas, is simply creating the next round of terrorists...

[NamerOfStars]

This level of disingenuousness is more than I have patience for; you know damned well that you're being brainwashed. Come talk to me when you're ready to let the nonsense go.

[smne35]

What about dropping the idea of peace all over the world, I mean did we reflect Matt adults or war mongering immature juveniles, Russia Ukraine, over 2 years fighting, no mention of peace and sand with confidence all over this world no mention of peace if it that difficult for people, leaders I used that term very loosely, but why can't for l they pick up the phone text send an email out even a carrier pigeon hell put a note in a bottle something to just meet and find a solution to what the hell got them to start throwing bombs and missiles at each other, is it really that difficult to do it so then we need to replace this bunch of, holding my nose writing this part, leaders, with this who want peace, we have to stop going along with the insane things governments get us into and speak up when you know it's not right they those in governments work for us not other way around,

[lightbulb27]

and to think Russia generally uses same religious book as all Europe. It's all about security and power. Very sad, seems fixable. you are right.
I'd suggest vote for someone else that has a chance changing the dynamic. There are options... it's a start.

[Reemaa]

I condemn hamas. But what israel did is more terrorist than hamas.
It’s sad how some western do not see that , or turn a blind eye. What they did is genocide

[lightbulb27]

Well said.

[smne35]

Western countries are only concerned about selling weapons and have no interest in wanting an end to this or any conflicts going on around the world

[cherriibly]

Yes they should, and America must immediately stop sending helps to Israel!!

Israel is commiting a GENOCIDE!!!

[lightbulb27]

Yep, looks like it... won't call it that. I don't think it be legal to shoot at caged animals in a park like that, let alone children born there. Just shot two christian women... anyone is a target. It's a difficult mess, prayers for them all.
And to think... they are really... relatives...

[cherriibly]

Every living thing in Palestine was targeted, Muslims, Christians, everyone, this is very sad, this is a genocide and I think the people who support this have a sick mentality, and you are right, they are relatives...

[Avicenna]

There are hardly any Christians in Gaza, and Hamas would use teddy bears to make IEDs. There are already established aid channels coordinated with Israel and Egypt.

[BoopBoopBeep]

A) They'd see that as trying to convert them, and last time the crusades didn't go over so well

B) Did they deliver a bunch of Ramadan meals to the jews?

[Reemaa]

Why are western so religiousist? 🤯

[lightbulb27]

Good point. Jesus said to feed your enemy... not Jewish God, that I know of.
My understanding is... these are distant relatives. They must win over the hearts and minds of new generation. Unfortunately, that is going poorly.

[Reemaa]

Relatives?
All the abrahamic religions came from Middle East. Western are just converters ! A Palestinian Muslim are more related to prophets when speaking genetically than any western, African, Asian converter!

[BoopBoopBeep]

@lightbulb27
So you want to actively enrage and provoke everyone there just so you can get some "feel goods". That's responsible.

[BoopBoopBeep]

@Reemaa "Why are western so religiousist? [sic]"

I'm pretty sure the M. E. has a pretty fair amount of religious extremists as well ;)

[Reemaa]

With non-secular countries and islamic curriculum that’s normal, because not many people are that smart when not given appropriate education. But it’s a shame to see that with people who consider themselves come from first first world countries and non-secular

[BoopBoopBeep]

@Reemaa Personally I'm hoping that OP was being sarcastic. Otherwise that's just woefully naive

[Reemaa]

I’m sorry. But religiousist people whether they are Middle Eastern or Western are the most naive/ idiot ones. 😊

[lightbulb27]

Bible describes the parents of israel is same father of arab peoples… via Hagar. Bible even speaks well of her… she would form a nation. That written long ago. Relatives!
Im semi sarcastic. I think should evac children if possible. Otherwise unbelievable suffering. Can you imagine the number of injured w no comfort and burried trapped in building debri, orphans. Large part of population is children. If they are lucky they will live in tent cities for years… die slow death more probable. That said… i domt blame them for the rath… no other choice. But id evac. And… id drop as much propaganda … gifts of good will as would fit in planes.

[lightbulb27]

Most of my questions are creative outside the box and probably… ludicrous.

[exitseven]

Hamas would just end up with it.

[lightbulb27]

they could use some stuffed bears.
ugh... but they'd turn them to bombs...

[Darklydarkened]

They're not dealing with terrorists, but rather, against a failed state that refuses to find any sort of common ground for religious reasons and perpetually use barbaric aggression against Israel

And since Israeli are even more barbaric, this is the result

[lightbulb27]

Well said. Most everyone... was born into this situation and knows nothing else. Its worse than the island of misfit toys.

[ObscuredBeyond]

What the kids most need is to be adopted out to straight, traditional families in the US. Preferably, doomsday preppers. Leaving them in the line of fire for Mossad or Hamas to blow them up and demagogue them for political reasons is an abhorrent strategy. And acting like teddy bears will solve their problems is frankly insulting.

Government thugs from either side would merely steal the bears, make bombs out of them, and then laugh at us for our stupidity in constantly sending them convenient bomb-making material.

[lightbulb27]

good point actually...

[Miristheiss]

Why?

Why not those in the Syrian civil war? Casualty lists vary from 350,000 to 600,000.

Why not the war in Yemen? Roughly 350,000 deaths reported.

Why not Ukraine? Russia is bombing their cities and the war has been going on for 2 years? Russia sent hundreds of thousands of troops into Ukraine. Thousands of civilian deaths.

Why are people going so nuts over Gaza? Hamas committing mass murder started all of this. Of course, Gaza is going to be leveled. If Mexico sent a few thousand troops into Texas and hunted down and murdered 1,000 U. S. citizens in their homes I'd want Mexico utter destroyed.

Have the same hard on for Yemen, Syria and Ukraine and then come back and talk to me about Gaza.

[lightbulb27]

Good points, God's love needed everywhere.
Be very dangerous to fly over Ukraine, logistically difficult.

[MackBoy]

It is a big plan of usa, france, germany, britain and other european countries to build a ben gurion canal across gaza and to steal oil and gas which is underground. The israeli makes their propaganda so huge to make sure people who are watching the AI generated images and videos be fooled. ask from them the live videos of gaza, they will keep their mouth shut. Al jazeera news tv provides the live news which news we are witnessing the bombing of poor children and woman bombed by israeli. israeli government is very helpless and the public in israeli are very angry with benjamin. there are internal clashes between the army commander and cabinet minister already because if they lose, israel will not exist as a country. i will never believe the news of BBC news, CNN news, Fox news, abc news and others which are being owned by these israelis to spread fake news. very soon peace will return to palestinian people. William shakespeare mentions the word palestine in one of his play.

[strateguy632]

they evacuated the 3 main cities in gaza territory so not send toys there this year.

[lightbulb27]

yea, drop them south.

[DextroShade]

This reminds me of that South Park episode where Santa goes to Iraq and immediately gets shot down by terrorists. I suspect something similar would happen here.

[lightbulb27]

that be a huge risk and video of Santa being shot down, could cause serious problems.

[Anonymous]

It's sad that the Jews are being attacked in Israel.
When Saint Nicholas visited it was before the Arabs colonised Palestine and displaced the Jews and Christians. It was once a very Christian land.
Hopefully the Palestinian put down their arms and stop murdering children.

[lightbulb27]

Good points, agree. that is the way to end it quickly.

[Opinion Owner]

The Palestinians don't want it to end

[hahahmm]

I would drop guided bombs full of coal pebbles and napalm on every suspected terrorist sympathizer's house from a red painted bomber & sleep like a baby after,

[lightbulb27]

you may have your wish one day... a database with terrorists and all their genetic identification... with explosiv drones tha tseek out and self detonate.
Merry Christmas!

[Ironic_Method]

You are incredibly misinformed if you think the US is dropping bombs over Gaza. The US is the biggest provider of aid of the UN humanitarian effort in Gaza.

[lightbulb27]

um well... "jimmy makes m-80 explosives for "fun", he pays for his friends joeys living whom asked for a supply to firebomb his neighbor, Mr. Pisser. Joey delivers the bombs and trashes Mr. Pissers house."
Is Jimmy involved in delivering the m-80s and implicated in court liability? I think so.
I'm not saying we are wrong, I'm on Israel side for most part, but there's two sides to this "twisted sister" mess. To be clear... eventhough we have massive problems in inner cities, I don't think we should be dropping 2000lb bombs in NYC on the gang members houses, but go door to door and take them out and throw them in prisons and recondition, if at all possible. maybe impossible
If I'm in the military, I favor dropping 2000lb bombs on NYC... cause it's safer.
Change name of NYC to Gaza... same thing...
People decide...

[Al_Musafir]

Or maybe just stop helping ¡srael. Why celebrate a pagan festival and use it as a means to mock?

[jshm2]

The last thing that what to see there are more White people bringing crap.

[lightbulb27]

fail enough, it's a mess. on TV, they are asking for and begging for help. 'hard to deny the cries of children caught up in it.
maybe better to remove evryone...

[Dargil]

Won't change a thing. Give them free tickets to Iraq or Syria

[lightbulb27]

Good idea!

[HouseMoat]

I don't think it's very "christian" like, for us to do that, according to a lot of and i stress the quotes "christians", here in america

[lightbulb27]

better than dropping bombs. what a mess though, I cannot even fathom and to think we are all partying and happy here and they are in a nightmare.

[Daniela1982]

And how many people in Congress can truthfully call themselves Christians with a straight face? The people in Gaza were told to evacuate but they chose to ignore it. If you are given a warning of thin ice, and you fall in, whose fault is that? Hamas loves it because they can use them as shields or suicide bombers.

[HouseMoat]

@Daniela1982 You have no idea what you're talking about hun

[Daniela1982]

And you do? Please!

[BarryLiverstone]

You wouldn’t have asked the question if you didn’t wanna get into the politics. Bad faith

[lightbulb27]

Its the issue that it looks really bad dropping bombs when people are feeling merry and joyful about Santa Clause. St. nick didn't do politics, he gave to the poor and desperate. so did Christ. That's all I'm saying...
but it is a lot to ask of a government, they don't think like saints.
Peace!

[BarryLiverstone]

The worst Christ ever did was turn over a few tables. He didn’t kill like those in the Middle East. Both sides of the conflict have been in a war for so long now.. can’t expect innocent people there to receive peace

[Anonymous]

Pretty sure the US has dropped ZERO bombs over Gaza. And no one at all is dropping bombs over Nazareth or Bethlehem so far as I know.

[Anonymous]

You would never see Americans doing anything as positive as that.

[lightbulb27]

disagree, we've done a lot of good or try, but agree... we won't do that...

[Anonymous]

American kids should come first. A lot of people this year don't have anything for their kids.
