BAC News: Feeding the Dead
The White House Media Optics Tactical Team is out to lunch

Announcer: Special correspondent Reuters is back, this time from Cairo. What's news, Reuters?
Reuters: The United States on Saturday carried out the first of what it said would be a series of humanitarian airdrops of food into Gaza, as aid agencies warned of a growing humanitarian disaster in the Palestinian enclave in the absence of a ceasefire deal.
Three C-130 U.S. military planes delivered more than 38,000 meals into a territory where the United Nations says at least 576,000 people are one step away from famine conditions. Palestinians posted videos on social media showing boxes of aid being dropped. Jordanian forces also participated in the operation.
Announcer: So, President Biden is copying King Abdullah II of Jordan. The difference is that Jordan aren't supplying the Zionists with the weapons they're using to kill Palestinian children.
Speaking of which, did you see the artwork by Jordanian children which the Jordanians put on their aid drops?
Reuters: The White House has said the airdrops would be a sustained effort, and that Israel supports them. Critics say airdrops are far less effective than aid deliveries by truck, and it is nearly impossible to ensure supplies do not end up with militants.
A: Those 'critics' are stating the obvious, considering there's no rail lines to use, trucks would have the best power to weight delivery ratio available.
As for the militants, whoever is worried about that can consider this a certainty. Gaza used to be called an open air prison. Now its a Zionist death camp. The entirety of the starving population are militants at this point.
Wouldn't you revolt against a force trying to starve your family?
R: "Israel welcomes the humanitarian airdrops by the U.S., which were discussed and coordinated with us," said an Israeli official in Washington, speaking on condition of anonymity.
A: Really? Some fearful, anonymous, Zionist mouthpiece is happy that the US is attempting to feed some 30 000 of 2 300 000 starving people. I'll bet they are. That's called starving 2 270 000 of them.
But that number of 30 000 seems familiar. Would it not be the case that the US is feeding the dead?
Did the White House Media Optics Tactical Team consider this? Was it purposeful or are they just blind idiots?
R: With talks in Egypt set to resume on Sunday, a senior U.S. official said the framework for a deal on a six-week ceasefire was in place, with Israel's agreement, and depended on the militant group Hamas agreeing to release hostages.
"The hostages have to be released," the official told reporters. "The deal is basically there. But I don't want to create expectations one way or the other."
A: Whoa, Nellie.
You are putting words in the mouth of some nameless official to whom you've granted anonymity. You say 'senior'. Might as well be a bathroom attendant for all we know. (No disrespect to Bathroom Attendants).
And, can you not see the stupid political word-games being played with their last two sentences? How the hell is this reporting, Reuters?
R: U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris will meet Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz at the White House on Monday, a White House official told Reuters.
A: And what has that got to do with the price of fish in China, Reuters? Why are you flinging Harris-Mc-Harris-face into this report?
R: In Jerusalem, thousands of Israelis marched to demand the release of about 134 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. Protesters, led by families of hostages seized during Hamas' deadly rampage through southern Israel on Oct. 7, arrived at the city at sundown.
A: Reuters, would you please get back to the story and stop reporting on irrelevancies.
R: [Reports that the Zionists are still bombing children, terrorizing them and starving them, every day.]
U.S. President Joe Biden has said he hopes a ceasefire will be in place by the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, which starts on March 10.
A: So, Biden wants a ceasefire so that food can be delivered to a starving population for the holy fasting month of Ramadan?
The White House Media Optics Tactical Team are obviously out to lunch.
R: International pressure for a ceasefire and to facilitate humanitarian assistance for desperate Gazans has grown.
Three people searching for food in farmland in the northern Gaza Strip on Saturday were killed by Israeli strikes, residents and medics said. The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
A: No shit, Sherlock.
R: Thirteen children have died at the Kamal Adwan hospital in northern Gaza in the last three days from dehydration and malnutrition, according to the Gaza health ministry.
A: So, doctors in Gaza confirmed that the Zionists, with US support, have murdered children by starvation. I can't imaging how this report could get more horrific.
R: Doctors at the hospital said more were at risk of dying. "When a child is supposed to eat three meals a day and he only eats one, he obviously suffers from malnutrition, and all the diseases that come because of it," said Imad Dardonah.
A: Oh, fuck.
R: Biden announced plans for the U.S. airdrop on Friday, a day after the deaths of Palestinians queuing for aid drew renewed attention on the humanitarian catastrophe.
Gaza health authorities said 118 people were killed in the aid melee, attributing the deaths to Israeli fire and calling it a massacre. Israel disputed those figures and said most victims were trampled or run over.
A: Yeah, Reuters, we heard about that. The IDF are baiting a starving population with food and then playing "shooting fish in a barrel" with the people they are genociding. This is pure evil.
R: The Israeli military on Saturday promised "an exhaustive, truthful investigation" into the incident, which underscored the collapse of orderly aid deliveries to areas of Gaza occupied by Israeli forces.
A: Bullshit !!
That'll do Reuters. Go back to the hotel and watch CNN for a while.
Apologies, viewers. Next, we have the weekly gardening show.
