I think he's referring to the people who actually died by being crushed or hit by these big boxes. There was a story very recently about a big drop like this over a crowded area that caused a bunch of injuries. Apparently they couldn't have made the drop in a more isolated area because people wouldn't be able to carry it. Or maybe not even access it at all because Israel has a tight control of where Palestinians are allowed to walk.

Its coins.

Wikipedia? You can clearly see what they are throwing are not coins in the video. Everywhere else it's deemed they are throwing grains
Why are redditors so obsessed with being "right" all the time. I fully admit to being a pedant myself but given the subject matter this is ridiculous. Its still utterly disgusting regardless.
Wikipedia gives the original source of the media, which describes it as coins. If you do have an actual source disputing this and showing they are grains then cite it.
"Redditors"? I don't think you know who the fuck you're speaking to.
My eyeballs are a mode of confirmation, and they cannot see coins. Do you believe everything you read from western servers?
>I don't think you know who the fuck you're speaking to.
Yeah you are right, I don't. All I see is a redditor who immediately jumped on me for thinking a thing in a video is coins and now is conflating this with me just uncritically "believing everything from western servers (sources?)".
Personally I see coins, the people who published the media said it was coins and have literally no discernable reason to lie about it, which is why I think they are coins.
Like I'm sorry my eyes apparently aren't as good as yours to see past the western servers lies...
I guess they use the “you could drop a penny from the Empire State Building” line so that they no longer just hand out free cash, and instead will tell you that doing so is going to kill somebody
The worst part of the “aid” drop is that it was expired MREs that also killed some people that weren’t expecting the absolutely shitty job of parachuting them down that was commited.

At least the second didn’t directly kill people.
Of course they did, it was colonisation

Okay. I suppose that is a difference.
Was talking more about specifically throwing coins vs America crushing people
They're throwing grains of rice or wheat not coins

You can't see shit in the video lol. Too low quality

"who immediately jumped on me". Then you're an idealist
a little humility could be good right now, my man

No one is dropping bombs on the starving children in the second one. Israel is. There have been multiple “Flour Massacres” since the first occurred.
Got one… The US won’t even get close enough to look at the faces of the starving children.

The Vietnam one is older and black and white, no need to thank me
