It will receive “large ships carrying food, water, medicine," an official said.

    Is he also going to stop shipping weapons to Israel? Otherwise it makes no fucking sense.

      Of course not. Extra deliveries past congress. Not that they would block it

      Nah see, the pier can be used for both. Synergy.

      It’s actually a brilliant economic play. Instead of only arming Isreal, we should just arm both sides and get that CASH.

        I don’t think they are giving/selling weapons to Gaza Strip…

      My first thought also. Developing the infrastructure to exploit natural resources under the cover of providing humanitarian aid, while simultaneously supplying the weapons that create the need for humanitarian aid.

      I’m sorry, did they just say Palestinian economy? There’s no Newspeak that’s too on the nose for these people.

      This is a disgustingly cynical interpretation and I really wish it wasn’t realistic.

    The US has decided to militarily occupy the coast of Gaza.

    It’d probably be more helpful if Biden just stopped letting Israel commit genocide.

      I agree, but you cant change the past, and this seems like a good step in the right direction for the future. We cant afford to look our gift horses in the mouths (this idiom doesnt work very well when pluralized)

    I don’t have the meme handy, but I’m picturing the Mac from Always Sunny pic saying “I’m playing both sides, so I always come out on top.”

    With a US flag over Mac’s face.

    It’s a stupid gimmick - just like air drops. If the US wanted it could go and open the border crossings for aid. Hundreds of lorries a day are required. Not doing that reveals the truth - starving mainly innocent Palestinians.

      Mainly innocent? Dude those babies are all hamas!

    If only Israel was allowing sufficient aid in Gaza that wouldn’t be necessary.
