The U.S. military has started moving a pier towards the Gaza coast, a U.S. official said on Wednesday, one of the last steps before the launch of a maritime port promised by President Joe Biden to speed the flow of humanitarian aid to Palestinians.
The U.S. military opted to pre-assemble the maritime pier at Israeli port of Ashdod earlier this month due to weather conditions at the Gaza site where it will now be installed.
Officials hope the pier can be anchored to the coast of Gaza and aid can start flowing in the coming days.
“Earlier today, components of the temporary pier … along with military vessels involved in its construction, began moving from the Port of Ashdod towards Gaza, where it will be anchored to the beach to assist in the delivery of international humanitarian aid,” a U.S. official said.
No, I consider them genocidal because they’re committing genocide.
That’s your opinion. International law is based on precedent. Hamas is unprecedented: their zeal for the death of innocents, and tunnel warfare system, their international support from Iranian and Qatari oil oligarchs and monarchs, and their media. That’s what you’re defending right now.
How many more generations must be lost to instane religion hysteria because you’re getting tricked by dead kids that were killed by Hamas and some imaginary world history in which Jews are not aboriginal?
How about revolting? How about defecting? Nah, inconceivable! Martyrdom™ for all!
Are you really claiming that the thousands of dead children in Gaza were all killed by Hamas?
Israel’s bombs and bullets missed every single child?
No, very much the opposite of that. Hamas made the kids stand in front of them, though. Hamas loves dead children in Gaza. It’s their most powerful weapon and look how well it worked against you.
“Israel killed a huge number of children because Hamas forced them to by standing behind them” is not the defense you think it is.
I think it’s a pretty good defense. Terrorists don’t get to have their own state, And they don’t get to dictate the rules of engagement with absolute barbarity and disregard for human life.
Anyone not there willingly is free to gtfo the way with the other 98% of Gaza that’s still alive. It sucks most for the kids, who are the most vulnerable.
How many children in Gaza should be killed in the name of fighting terrorism? Let’s have a number or a percentage.
I could not say.
Some* suggesting flooding the tunnels with salt water to minimize the collateral damage caused by ordinance. This would destroy the soil forever, as I understand it. And potentially make uninhabitable for real. Obviously using gas in the tunnels is out of the question. How do you suggest that they be destroyed?
E whoops bad typo. I am not proposing that…
Why is it my job to tell Israel how to not commit genocide?
