There are MILES of humanitarian trucks on the Rafah/Egyptian border awaiting clearance by the Israeli soldiers that would reach the starving Palestinian people in Gaza much faster than the time it would take for the referenced humanitarian aid coming from Cyprus by sea. Problem: these humanitarian aid trucks from the Egyptian side are prevented from proceeding into Gaza because of the Israeli government's policy. There also are the Israeli settlers at these referenced crossings who are helping to prevent these humanitarian trucks from entering Gaza. This fact is now well-known. Amazing isn't it that the Palestinian people are treated with such disdain and callousness in a land that belongs to them even before the Ottoman Empire period and where the Israelis are, but OCCUPIERS. We thank Jose for the part that he is playing to help bring Humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people in Gaza and his patience in having to deal with all that unnecessary red tape which I suspect are deliberately put in place to cause even more delays. Wonders will never cease - that such cruelty could exist and be displayed from one human being toward another.

Chef Andres referred to criticism that Biden's *late decision* to airdrop palettes of [small-packet] food is shallow as _"that of someone who has too much time."_ The criticism stems from the curious timing of this measure by the U.S., as well as the U.S.'s failure to use its leverage to pressure Israel into allowing the required volume of humanitarian aid into Gaza. The reason the U.S. is building a pier and a causeway in the first place is Israel's refusal to use ports of entry to their maximum capacity for humanitarian use. I also noticed that Mr. Andres referred to incidents of Ukrainian civilians coming under Russian fire while reaching for food but didn't bring up the slaughter of civilians by the IDF when they rushed toward food aid. He mentioned the "brutal" attacks on October 7th but had no words of condemnation or criticism for the 30,000-plus dead Gazans.

True honest figures would show ups/downs etc, the kind of changes one would normally see in a daily market.

Dear Senator Warnock, I am grateful for everything you are doing to push for humanitarian aid and to promote the cause of Palestinian self-determination. I appreciate the time you have taken out of your busy schedule to write back to me every time I have written to you on this issue. You need not reply to me again since I am confident you are doing your very best to get justice for all. Thank you. Below are a few key notes and letters that I have written in various contexts/various renditions, including to you and President Biden and VP Harris. I will be grateful if you would kindly share my thoughts (which I know align with many other Americans) with your colleagues and the President. '------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are we really going to go down as the generation that presided over a genocide streamed online and so many remained silent? Mr Biden, I humbly submit, we are watching closely. Please do not take us for fools by redefining ceasefire to mean nothing, like the air drop of just 38,000 meals. A pier sounds noble but it will take two months to complete. By then, most will starve. Do you intend to let Israel have the whole of Palestine and expand its footprint? Really? As you know, Palestinians must have statehood so that they can use legitimate means to protect themselves from the tyranny of a foreign power. Just let 2.2 million starve to death? I did vote blank day before yesterday I would rather take the punishment of being treated like the Palestinians than vote for the Democratic Party in November. I have no other recourse at present. I may have to consider something more drastic like a long fast (the type Gandhi and his followers pursued) if action is not taken quickly since I am becoming increasingly disillusioned with US support for regimes that are becoming increasingly fascist like Israel and India. Why should there be any respect for me when there is none for President Carter? Time is of the essence or people will naturally starve to death. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Mr Biden/Madam Vice President, I beg for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. I must humbly submit, you cannot carry on objecting to Trump saying he'll allow Putin to do anything he wants in Ukraine and allow Netanyahu to do anything he wants in Gaza and the West Bank.This is a glaring double standard. If you had not, early on in the conflict, justified/rationalized the cruelty, 30,000 people would not be dead in Gaza, more maimed and orphaned and childless; you would not have allowed so much trauma that will be felt for generations to come. You have presided over a genocide and your response to Netanyahu is still lukewarm. This makes many people of my color and background wonder why you treat Ukraine so much better? Is it just the color of our skin and the religion of the people being slaughtered and dehumanized? I am fully in favor of your support for Ukraine but I also want the same for Palestine. I will not be in a position to vote in November unless you change course and recognize the pain and disbelief that so many of us are feeling as we see this cruel war stream online, and as the media is silent. Allowing a victim to commit crimes because of the guilt that so many Americans feel for what happened to the Jewish people during the holocaust is no longer an acceptable response. And, I know many Jewish Americans who don't want you to allow this cruelty in "their name." Also, the Palestinians should not be punished for the holocaust. They have not deserved the cruelty of the apartheid regime for more than a half century. You cannot turn a blind eye anymore. The tide has turned and your election and American democracy and world peace should not be endangered for irrational reasons. This is too expensive a price demanded by Israel and by those Americans who demand it. Please call for immediate & permanent ceasefire in the UN. Please move to the two-state solution immediately.
