    Fucking embarrassing use of our fucking taxes. Let’s exhaust the next option so we can do the right thing for the 15 remaining Palestinians.

    This is a BETTER use of Tax Payer Money then simply NOT giving Israel a ton of Bombs!

    That article doesn’t mention it but the holding area where they drop off the food is basically full and not being distributed for multiple reasons: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/u-s-removes-gaza-pier-due-to-weather-it-may-not-return-unless-aid-flow-resumes-officials-say

    If Israeli inspections and lack of security for aid workers is the bottleneck, the pier is kind of pointless. You can fail to deliver aid way more efficiently with trucks.

      If only there was some way for the largest military power in the world to make a country of 7 million not interfer with its humanitarian operations. Well i guess the only thing they can do is send the small nation even more weapons to genocide evne more innocent civillians.

    I’m sure they’ll rebuild it when they need to do another ‘rescue’ operation that kills scores of Palestinians.
