However, truck owners involved in the food deliveries, mostly Egyptian hauliers, are reluctant to let their vehicles be used inside Gaza for fear of them bombed or ransacked by starving Gazans. There is also a shortage of willing drivers after repeated incidents of aid trucks coming under fire, of which the WCK bombing has been the worst but far from an isolated incident.

The planned coordination centre, whenever it is finished, may not be sufficient to address this fundamental obstacle to delivering food, as long as much of Gaza is a free fire zone, aid workers argue.

    Protesting can work. That doesn’t mean it always works.

    Protesting works when you do it at the right time in the right place with the right people.

    There is no time when protesting at Larry Buschon’s Evansville office is the right place and, again, I don’t know anyone.

    I’m not sure why even the last part is not an issue to you, but I would think that one person standing outside his office with a protest sign about Israel wouldn’t exactly start a major movement. I just looked up his office on Google. It isn’t even a prominent place. You’d miss it if you didn’t know it was there.

    This isn’t marching over the bridge in Selma you’re talking about, this is a silly waste of time. I have been in many protest marches, but I’m not going to waste over four hours of my time just to get to a place almost no one recognizes alone with a protest sign. It will not do a thing about Israel. Not a single thing. It will not save one single Palestinian life. I might as well stand in front of a Menards.
