The Jerusalem Post reported that a senior Israeli diplomatic source said the plan was based on a proposal for a maritime route to Gaza via Cyprus for humanitarian assistance initiated by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in collaboration with Biden on October 22, 2023.

Was this Netanyahu’s idea? If so, it raises many questions about why?

there is no shortage of food in Gaza district

other than that created by Hamas stealing most of the free food we’ve been sending (and then selling it for high prices to their “own” Arab people)

when the IDF eliminates the last of Hamas, both food prices and the Fakestinian Occupation of the district will ameliorate appreciably

Why are we providing aid and comfort to the enemy? Because Genocide Joe doesn’t want to lose Michigan.

Despite Biden’s negative impacts, I believe the IDF will clean up the Hamas terrorist problem in Gaza before any such (insane!) pier is even attempted

which is probably is why Bibi is being so tactful about it

Import food to Gaza, and on the return trip import Gazans to the US...a “Gaza-gap” operation? Biden may shore up US HAMAS supporters with a reason to support Biden in November.

this is far from unthinkable.

Don’t say this out loud, but the Pier is going to make a swell target for Houthis or some other rag-tag bunch. We do stupid things because we are ruled by madmen.

How do you people not see that it will be used to evacuate the Gazans to the US and Europe?

I feel like I am in a movie where I’m the only one who can recognize the elephant in the room.

Why are we building Israel another port? Don’t they have enough already?

They are getting ready to send them to America. Israel wants them gone, nobody in the middle east will take them. Just watch. Israel doesn’t want them departing through Israeli ports. Egypt will not let them in to use their ports. So we are building an evacuation port.

This is a point of exit, NOT a point of entry for food. There is no need for that. But there is a need for a port of exit.

In Squadron Officer School, Air Command & Staff College and Air War College, we read paper after paper about the dangers of mission creep and how to guard against it. Now it appears to be national defense policy to incorporate mission creep into every action.

When we airdrop it, we can kill four or more people, each time. We’ve already done that, there.

Let’s keep airdropping it.

Biden’s ‘Trojan Pier’ for Gaza

Six Americans are still being held hostage by Hamas, and Biden has sent no troops to help them, but at the State of the Union address, he promised to send troops to build a pier for Gaza.

The estimated over 1,000 troops will spend as long as 2 months laboring to build a floating pier in a war zone under potential attack to help transfer aid to the Hamas supporters living in Gaza.

Nothing about this plan makes sense.

[...]

So what is the permanent pier actually for?

[...]

The Biden administration is creating a gateway to Gaza that Israel isn’t supposed to control.

The Trojan pier is not only about bypassing Israel, but also Egypt. The administration’s vision is that the new arrangement will allow it to directly move materials into Gaza without having to get permission from either Israel or Egypt. And that’s a major victory for the terrorists.

[...]
