    I’m all for ideas to stop the genocide and I am 100% against what is happening to the Palestinian people there.

    What I am against is sitting comfortably at home and asking someone else to go risk their lives to help, or hearing someone else suggest the same.

      Well instead of photo ops of dropping inconsequential amounts of aid from planes we should find a better way that might help rather than look like it is helping. If boats

      A plane carries a few thousand kg of air droppable food, a truck can carry 20-30 thousand lbs without worry of dropping it on people.

      Canada isn’t at war with Egypt, maybe it is time to roll up to the Egypt/Gaza border with aid trucks and Canadian peacekeepers and roll through. Israeli and Egyptian troops may think twice about shooting Canadians.
