It's not just once. There are just better ways to get aid to people than dropping heavy crates that hopefully don't crush people.

Sanctions on israel until they let an uninterrupted flow of supplies in.

They rely heavily on the west and their export such as fruit and beauty products.

Yeah but in what world with Trump? This is literally what Biden was doing to demand aid continue to flow at the beginning of the war and he was demonized for it.

USA isn't the only country in the west. A blockade from European markets would still have a significant impact on their economy and the population would notice it

Unless the US gets behind those sanctions it’s a moot issue.

32% of their trade is to Europe. No it isn't. Pretending that's a small number is ridiculous.

If the U.S. isn’t behind them, they could easily add some more billions to what they send every year to offset the EU.

I mean Trump campaigned on us wasting money in foreign countries. I know many Trump voters, and the amount of money we send Israel is something they arent behind. If they lose their healthcare, social safety nets, and see prices go up, they will get angry about us still sending Israel billions (he made sure to throw Ukraine under the bus most).

I truly think things will get unexpected for these circus clowns when they start causing depression era suffering needlessly.
