Hey, while its very important to be echoing the opinions of Palestinians, and putting their needs at the forefront of your actions/ activism, its also key to remember, that like any identity group, you will find people act and say things that conflict with the majority opinion, potentially in ways that seem aligned with the opinions of the oppressor.
There's a lot of reasons people in general do this. Maybe they want to (attempt to) attain the privilege of the oppressor, maybe there is another societal factor as to why they might be inclined to do that (ie there will be strong personal/political consequences for a more radical opinion or just rich), maybe they work in a field which is particularly invested in maintaining the hierarchies of power and oppression (ie police, military). I'm not going to tell you that these people's opinions/ experiences should be invalidated entirely, but that you should ask yourself who benefits from the legitimacy provided by having say, a Palestinian as a spokesperson about something, and asking yourself why they seem to be in conflict with the majority opinion, especially if that opinion isn't really being represented by the org using the spokesperson.

The aid that is being airdropped is scarce and at times unusable. “Some meals have to be microwaved, but we don’t have electricity here in Gaza"

One of many pieces of information rarely discussed that has stuck with me in studying the Holocaust in a literacy class is that people who survived the death camps often did not survive starvation. It is very difficult for a severely malnourished body to recover from starvation. A severely malnourished body will struggle to process food at all, and many people die in the process of “refeeding.” This is called refeeding syndrome for this reason. Reintroducing food can and often is fatal without careful, medical guidance.
Starvation is one of the most common and effective forms of genocide. What makes it effective is that past a certain point, even if aid has been delivered, it is not enough to save someone from death by starvation. What also makes it effective is that withholding food is viewed as a passive consequence of political turmoil rather than an intentional act of violence among a people. You will see more people die from starvation in genocides across history because it is an effective way to kill many people without the use of state resources.
The starvation of Gaza is intentional. The United States and Israel may gesture that they are delivering or allowing aid into Gaza, but in reality they are active participants in the starvation of Gaza by destroying medical infrastructure, limiting the amount of aid “allowed” in, and blocking aid trucks from entering. Throwing food into Gaza by airdrop at this point in the genocide will not be enough without medical infrastructure to refeed a severely malnourished population. Many will die anyways. Many have already.

it broke today that biden airdropped aid to gaza. other than the fact that this is an obvious pr move ahead of his re-election campaign, i think it's important to stress how ineffective this method is compared to just allowing humanitarian aid to come through. airdrops carry far less aid than truck convoys, for one, and require an airdrop zone with a lot of idealistic conditions that don't often coincide. this is a major reason why you hear a lot of airdrops being conducted at beaches--and why a lot of them have been blown to the sea. and what's even more dangerous about that is that a lot of these palestinians are malnourished, starving, in a delirious state of mind. many of them are so utterly hungry that they'd be willing to swim through just to get their hands on a sodden meal. but apparently this is the best thing the us, which literally funds israel's ongoing genocide, can do for palestinians at the moment.

I'm so glad this is finally happening! AIR DROPPING FOOD AND AID INTO GAZA - because there's literally not another route- "Airdrop aid for Gaza", begun by Yosi Zelalem, and created alongside many activists, including Sarah Wilkinson:
Jordan are air dropping food as well as medical and into Gaza, northern Gaza, as a result of activists requesting this change be made; other countries are beginning to help - the Netherlands are airdropping food into central and southern Gaza, France has made one medical aid air drop. What is required now is a coalition of countries working together to provide food aid airdrops, there are many that can, many are interested- urgent aid is required because we are looking at a week before thousands more die as a result of forced starvation by Israeli blocks to food aid trucks entering Gaza by any means.
"An airdrop now is the only way to save the lives of over 600,000 Palestinian people "
