Not just suspended. Moved to the Port of Ashdod, Israel. Some Biden relative must have gotten a building materials contract.

By the way folks. They call this a “Humanitarian aid pier”.

Think about it. This is not for taking MREs into Gaza. It’s to load Hamas loving Gazans onto ships for a trip to Cyprus and onto planes to the USA.

Just watch.

$320 million? Pretty sure that number was already revised way upwards. Any U.S. military casualties expected during the build? Don’t the zelenski folks need a dock or two built? This is all ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’ฉ!

Sink it. Else, once done, demand ALL AMERICAN AND ISRAELI HOSTAGES RELEASED BEFORE ANYTHING LEAVES THE DOCK. Still sink it later.

Itโ€™s to load Hamas loving Gazans onto ships for a trip to Cyprus and onto planes to the USA.

They'll be on flights to Austin, TX and Miami, Fl.

Governor Abbot and Governor DeSantis needs to find out when the migrants land, then get them loaded on busses to Minneapolis and Dearborn and give them Prepaid Cards so they'll be motivated to leave Florida and Texas.

it puts off for a bit, at least, our troops joining up with our ally Hamas to push back the Jews out of Holy Moslem ground i.e. Gaza.

$320 million? No way. They must not be counting 'labor' in that number.

The purpose of the pier was to efficiently supply aid for Hamas to "steal".

Now Hamas just has to wait a little longer to steal the aid.

Honestly, I think almost all of such number are simply made up.

The Laborers are expendable, so they don’t count.

Sounds like the terrorists will have to wait a bit longer for their weapons to arrive.
