Former senior UN relief official Jan Eliasson has dismissed these air drops as an "ineffective sideshow". But of course, they're not aimed at stopping the genocide. Nothing Starmer does is aimed at stopping the genocide. Its aimed at managing the domestic politics of his complicity in the genocide.

Whenever public opinion and international pressure becomes unignorable, offer a token concession that will diffuse momentum and act as a fig leaf, while maintaining the mass death and expulsion. It’s a playbook.
Israel said Friday that it will allow other countries to drop aid from the air into the Gaza Strip, where children have died of malnutrition and nearly one in three people is coping with food insecurity, according to the UN's World Food Program.
Israel to Allow Aid Airdrops Over Gaza During Starvation Crisis
Jordan and the United Arab Emirates were expected to begin airdrops in the coming days, but experts warned that the bulk of necessary aid could come only by land.

Extremely important study that adopts a dynamic approach to the question of constitutional change in Ireland. The study demonstrates that the subvention is not a fixed cost and can be eliminated, post unity, by policies that promote NI economic growth.
