    in a major blow to the American-led effort to create a maritime corridor for humanitarian supplies into the war-torn enclave

    in a major blow to the American-led effort to create a ridiculous PR exercise to smokescreen their complicity in the starvation of the genocide-torn occupied territory.

    Fixed it for them.

    Glad my taxes could fund the clown show. Just put our fucken boots on the ground if we care about humanity. Dare the IDF to reenact the USS Liberty.

      Biden should be roasted harder over this. It’s a 300 Million dollar pier that never delivered aid and nearly immediately came apart. Such a stupid idea.

    The real story is why humanitarian aid is not being allowed by land. To me, this seems to violate my sense of fair play and lacks basic decency. And bombing civilian targets. The civilians are, on the majority, not responsible for the circumstances they now find themselves in and don’t deserve death. The pier is a decoy to move visibility away from two US presidents that won’t stop it.

    Oh no we’ve stalled so long that our distraction operation has been completed. But Netanyahoooo tells us that he wants to keep starving that Gazans. What do we do?

    Just pretend it broke and say we can’t let in any aid.

    Also reminder that the ICC did not just order israel to stop their attack on Rafah but also to let in all aid unhindered through the land crossings which israel is not doing.
