The Temporary Pier and the Question of Why

For a long time, Israel forbade ships entering the Gaza Strip because it was so easy to ship arms to Hamas. So why is this pier to Gaza happening now?

Since Oct. 7, 2023, external humanitarian aid has primarily had to enter the Gaza Strip via the land crossing at Rafah, which is run by Egypt.

Gen. Abdel Fatteh El-Sisi, the ruler of Egypt for the past decade, is as committed as Israel to the goal of keeping arms out of the hands of terrorists, so Israel trusts his government in Egypt to vet these shipments and ensure that armaments aren’t smuggled in among the convoys of food and beverages that cross every day.

Neither Israel nor Egypt have put a limit on the number of trucks that can enter at Rafah, and the Gaza Strip is not a particularly big place – it’s only about twice the size of Washington D.C., in fact. One entrance with unlimited trucks is quite sufficient to bring in aid for such a small area.

But ever since Hamas’s horrific attacks on Israel on October 7 that started this long-needed police action, the global anti-Israel lobby has declared that they need another way to bring in humanitarian aid – one outside Egypt. They need a seaport, they tell us, to bring in aid directly from the Mediterranean.

Why?

The answer is obvious. The terrorists of Hamas and their fellow travelers have allies in Cyprus, Turkey, Greece, Iran, and the United Nations. Anyone else who might ship cargo to Gaza would – intentionally – have weaker security checkpoints than Egypt has.

There’s a reason, after all, why Israel hasn’t been allowing relief vessels to serve Gaza, and it dates back to long before October 7. Israel has frequently caught weapons caches being smuggled into Gaza

“WHY”

So Biden can appear to be helping the Palestinians, thus stopping the protests here in the US and prop up his tanking poll numbers. So the American people will pay for his votes, not unlike the illegal student debt forgiveness, in which he gave the SC the middle finger.

LoL. O.K. Keep saying that stuff. And also keep saying that the Zionists should wipe out Gaza. See what happens.

Have you not been paying attention?

You are saying what should and should not happen as if we still had a country and if the laws were set up for the benefit of Americans.

The laws are setup to benefit those who have power over our lawmakers. That is financial power, blackmail power, social power, etc... We don’t have that power.

The people who Epstein was working for will be very happy if Gaza is turned to rubble and the Gazans are shipped to America. That’s all that matters.

I am EXTREMELY familiar with the gas pipeline. (I am on the board of a public oil and gas company.)

It’s the line from the Goliath oil/gas field offshore Israel.

Will serve Europe.

Ironically, Biden shut down funding (via US capital markets, not US tax money) to assist his corrupt friends in Russia AND Ukraine, notably Hunter’s Burisma.

With the invasion, Europe is now focused on alternative supplies than Russia/Ukraine, so they opened their capital markets, over Biden’s objections.

Having lost that, Biden is pressuring a re-route of the line to allow the Gazans to either impose a tariff or do terrorism.

This port is part of Biden’s continued efforts to screw with the line and help corrupt Ukrainians and Russians. (They work together on certain things.)

"Metnhinks Bibi’s boys will make it “difficult” to finish the pier, and make it look like the palestinians did it..."

Israel should tell Biden to send his "Temporary Weapons Pier" to the U.S. Mexico Border. With John F_ing Skerry, and Lyin' Chuck, running the show down there.
