Trucks began moving Friday into the Palestinian enclave, where Israel’s assault has shut off a number of crossings that are crucial for supplies of food, fuel and other aid.
It's so fucking wild to me that we need to resort to completely ineffective shit like floating docks when the reason we can't send trucks by land is that our own ally doesn't allow it, and our governments refuse to hold them accountable. Such a fucking dystopian situation.
I've said this in other threads but I am betting (based of no true evidence) that Israel is finger-over-trigger ready to nuke Iran, and is manipulating the west to allow them to fuck around in Gaza
Our own little north Korea 😞
Sure floating piers are cool, but couldn't we just, you know, force Israel to open up air. Or better yet stop the fucking slaughter.
Netanyahu's time outside of prison depends on him continuing to wage the war (unrelated to war crimes, I think he is getting prosecuted for corruption) so he won't ever stip. We could embargo their economy instead though. Or drop a division of special forces into Rafa to provide humanitarian aid, Israel is not gonna bomb US troops.
At this point, I'm not even sure they won't bomb US troops if they were in Gaza, and I am pretty sure the US government wouldn't hold them responsible if they did.
They absolutely would bomb US troops, they've done it before. The Zionistas are self serving, anything that doesn't serve them is Hamas.
"Sorry we can't/won't stop arming the people who are creating the need for aid. But to make it up to you, here's billions in aid spending."
So so so stupid.
Gosh, I want the government to be a bunch of petty shits and publicly send Netanyahu invoices for the construction cost and fuel usage.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Trucks carrying humanitarian aid began moving ashore into Gaza Friday using a temporary pier built by the United States, delivering desperately needed supplies to the besieged Palestinian enclave.
The floating dock is part of a makeshift effort to stave off a possible famine in Gaza, where Israel’s military assault has shut off a number of crossings that are crucial for supplies of food, fuel and other aid.
Israeli forces pressed on with sweeping operations against Hamas in the north and south of the enclave, while the country's lawyers defended its ground offensive in Rafah at the United Nations' top court.
Israel defended its operations in Rafah, saying they were presently "limited," at the International Court of Justice Friday, in a case brought against South Africa accusing the country of genocide over its Gaza offensive.
Palestinian American doctor Adam Hamawy said aid of all kinds is urgently needed in Rafah, where he has been volunteering at one of the last functioning hospitals in the city amid increasingly worrying circumstances.
Israel has laid blame for delays reopening the Rafah crossing on Egypt, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu telling CNBC's Sara Eisen in an interview on Wednesday, "we want to see it open."

48 hours from now: "according to Israel officials, Hamas was ferrying more hostages in via the port and it was destroyed while taking care of the suspected member"
