Do people not realize that these flights were already happening because of a company/non-profit, Project Dynamo. A groups of veterans that do this type of stuff.
CNN interviewed the CEO from the organization right after all of this stuff kicked off. DeSantis was nowhere to be seen.
And that DeSantis in an attempt to say that Pres Trump, private citizen, wasn’t doing anything when he should have been all over the tv asking why Biden and his admin weren’t doing anything, is using Florida taxpayer money for this publicity stunt.
On a side note, as ‘heroic’ as some of you might think this is, how much money is the “non-profit” making off of the deal? Of course, I don’t see anyone asking that question.
Israel is bombing the anot out of Gaza and Hamas. Right now the airport in Tel Aviv is one of the safest places in the world.
Team DeSantis is making out like their guy is flying into a hot LZ to rescue troops that have been surrounded by the VC
I’m not sure if the group is making money off of the evacutations.
There was a report I saw that said the group had a good rating on use of donations, though.
That said, if the intent of desanctimonious was to get people out of Israel because there were no commercial flights available, it would seem it would have been more cost effective to fly people to a neighboring country or into europe, than flying across to the U.S and back to where the jets were based.
