I can imagine that birth control in Gaza serves the interests of Israel and America.

The Jerusalem Post reported in 2020 that scores of condoms were being used to create IED-carrying balloons that winds would carry into southern Israel, raising alarm on schoolyards, farmlands and highways.
At the time, the Post reported that the improvised explosive devices – floated into Israel via inflated contraceptives – burned thousands of hectares of land and caused “millions of shekels of damage.” It’s not clear if the practice continues.
Just two days after the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks, which involved Hamas terrorists brutally raping some of the approximately 1,200 people killed in southern Israel and hundreds of others brought back into Gaza as hostages, a global NGO known as the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) released a statement regarding the resulting war and escalating violence.
The NGO claimed that any blockade of aid shipments into Gaza would infringe on their “enormous gains made in life-saving sexual and reproductive healthcare in this region.”

Question: Why did no one ask about why condoms were needed in Gaza?
2 million people, and $50M for condoms?

It could be over multiple years. Or maybe they fuck a lot.

Alas, maybe too good to be true. USAid does send birth control to certain areas but none to Gaza.
That can't be right, she said she was only going to tell the truth.

From the link in Jon's tweet.
The Fox pundit Jesse Watters even claimed that the condoms were being used by Hamas militants as balloons to float explosives into Israel.
A review of the available evidence, however, suggests that the claim is almost certainly not true.
"Even."
Did the author of that article do any research, like searching out the tweets I posted, from years ago?
A search of "hamas condoms bombs" dated from Jan 2016 to Jan 2024 (before the current kerfuffle) shows at least a dozen links confirming it:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=hamas+condoms+bombs&t=osx&df=2016-01-28..2024-01-29&ia=web
Now, one can dispute where the funds went, and I, for one, have no problem believing that aid money was appropriately used by Hamas, but at least do some research. From I posted, the condoms as balloons story seems accurate. As to funds, I'l trust Hamas.
As Dan Evon of the non-profit News Literacy Project points out: “It’s also worth noting that this is not a Biden program. Trump, too, spent funds on sending contraceptives around the globe. In 2019, about $40m was spent on contraceptives by the Trump administration”.
Think that'll happen again?

Somewhere I suspect the Arab world would be screaming but secretly happy if we went all medieval on Gaza.

White progressive Westerners are the roadblock. They are the ones who demand either impossible solutions, or permanent, bloody, murderous conflict. So, permanent, bloody, murderous conflict it'll be. Because virtue.

I think he’s talking about Donald Trump. Trump has been trending lately on Twitter. Everybody gets their 15 minutes.
