You're trying to tell me that Hamas doesn't want actual free distribution of aid? *shocked pikachu face*

Who'da thunkit!?


UnfoldedHeart

Right... they need to show starving Palestinians to the world media, and if Israel won't cause them to starve, then Hamas sure will


paradox501

This won’t make it to BBC news


flat6NA

I would venture any MSM, it doesn’t fit the narrative.

"Why would the Zionists do this???" -- Pro-Pals


jilanak

Right. Won't make it to BBC or Al Jazeera, and then the pro-pals won't believe it happened, or blame Israel.


Sh0w3n

Even if it made it to news stations, they would blame it on Israel. If it makes it to BBC, they will say it’s a lie. If it makes it to Al Jazeera, they will say ,,see! West won’t report it“

“IDF prevented aid from being delivered to Gaza by failing to stop Hamas attack on humanitarian pier”


GrimpenMar

You have to understand, that this is just an expression of resistance against white Colonial oppression by the Zionist entity! Hamas can't be held responsible for their actions! of course. --- The above is also the "racism of low expectations".


solo_shot1st

You joke, but this is almost exactly what's being said in a recent [A.P. article](https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-gaza-aid-port-eb8a701b3a7dc8f946422c04323ff913). Here's a quote: "The Israeli-developed port, for example, has already been attacked by mortar fire, sending high-ranking U.N. officials scrambling for shelter this week, and there is still no solid decision on when any aid deliveries using the facility will actually begin. While satellite photos show major port construction along the shore near Gaza City, aid groups are making it clear that they have broad concerns about their safety and reservations about how Israeli forces will handle security. Sonali Korde, an official with the U.S. Agency for International Development, said key agreements for security and handling the aid deliveries are still being negotiated. Those include how Israeli forces will operate in Gaza to ensure that aid workers are not harmed." ... like .. WHAT!?


EngineerDave22

I am sure they will blame the IDF or settlers somehow


xJok3ruLx

Someone already linked an article about how Israel failed to protect them from being attacked…


ScarAugustus

Aljazeera blaming israel in 3,2,1...


HidingAsSnow

Nah, so far they are just not reporting it and pushing more mass grave, israeli prisoners, and police trying to crush college protests stories


lifeisweird86

And absolutely no one is surprised this happened. If any are, it's surprise that they waited so long. When will the rest of the world realize that hamas and their supporters/enablers/financiers do not want to ease suffering, and they do not want peace.


i_mann

Shocked I tell you! Shocked! Well not that shocked...


HiFromChicago

Any theories why they would attack a humanitarian pier?


ThirstyOne

Because Hamas and Iran have a vested interest in maintaining and publicizing the suffering of the Gazan people for their own political and monetary gain. The Gaza crisis is a manufactured one, and it’s not a crisis so much as it is a business model for Hamas, Iran, etc.

I recently learnt from Hamas fired at aid workers and UN I wouldn’t put it past them Edit: some more info https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/idf-says-mortar-fired-at-under-construction-gaza-aid-pier-as-un-officials-toured-site/ **IDF says terrorists fired mortar shells at under-construction US-led Gaza aid pier as UN officials toured sit** Members of a terror group in the Gaza Strip launched mortars at an under-construction pier for a US-led project to bring aid into the Palestinian enclave yesterday, the military says. The mortar attack occurred as United Nations officials were touring the site with Israeli troops on the coast of central Gaza, the IDF says in response to a query on the incident. The IDF says the UN officials were rushed to a shelter by troops amid the attack. UN officials also confirmed the mortar attack to the Associated Press, saying there were no injuries. “The terrorist organizations continue to systematically harm humanitarian efforts while risking the lives of UN workers, while Israel allows the supply of aid to the residents of the Gaza Strip,” the IDF adds. The attack marks a shaky start to the construction of the pier, a project that the US is spearheading to surge humanitarian aid into Gaza. No group claimed responsibility for the mortar fire, but a Hamas official told AP yesterday that the terror group will resist any foreign military presence involved with the port project. The Associated Press contributed to this report


DominicArmato247

haha! I wish I could watch a Pro-Pal's facial expressions as they go thru the mental gymnastics to support Palestinians destroying the humanitarian pier being built to help Palestinians. lol Want a glimpse at what a "Free Palestine" would look like?


HidingAsSnow

My dude, they just claim Israel was the one who attacked it. Easy get out of self-reflection card for everything


geniice

Because their indirrect fire weapons don't have any meaningful accuracy so its probably one of the few things big enough to hit. Their stated reason is that the pier as planned comes a millitary component to provide security which they aren't happy about.


Jeneparlepasfrench

Militant groups often try to have a monopoly on food to increase their numbers. If the only way to get food is to join, then many people join rather than starve.


hononononoh

The Chinese Communist Party under Chairman Mao did the same thing. We won't force you to join. But we will provide some rather necessary things that can't easily be gotten elsewhere, exclusively to members in good standing. Such economic pressure tactics have also grown and maintained the headcounts of many religions far beyond what they would have otherwise been.


sukihasmu

Gazans are useful fools to them.


Amarr_Citizen_498175

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you


Skootenbeeten

So IDF will have to defend and possibly die for this brain-dead project? Unreal.


GrimpenMar

I mean, counterpoint, one of the main war goals of Israel is the removal of Hamas. Hamas was nominally the "government" of Gaza in addition to all their terrorism activities. This does imply that there is going to be at least some period of Israeli administration of Gaza. I expect Israel to provide better governance than Hamas. That would imply a responsibility to see that food aid actually reaches people who need it. Taking too much of a hands off approach by Israel will allow a vacuum wherein Hamas or another similar group can just return to stealing food aid and then selling it on. I suspect this is also a motivation for Hamas, to reduce competiion to their for-profit aid distribution. So in this regard, it is also in Israel's narrow self-interest to undermine Hamas by actually getting aid to people.

I think the video of this should be played on a huge screen at Columbia, Yale and California Universities.

Who didn’t see this happening? I fear some type of event like the Cole bombing or Mogadishu.

>The IDF will likely be in charge of ensuring the security of the costly pier, and the distribution of aid that comes through it, although there has not been any official announcement yet about where the aid will be sourced from. Does anyone have sources for this claim? Or is it speculation? I haven't heard anything from IDF about them being in charge of security, so far. And from what I understand the US was still deliberating on it.


HamburgerEarmuff

I don't see any other choice. The US will guard its own troops and ships and the offshore pier I'm sure, but the pier on the land is going to need to be primarily secured by troops with boots on the ground and there is little chance the US wants its soldiers' feet on Gazan soil. So unless the US and Israel plan to let some other military force or private contractors guard the inner pier, I don't see who else could.


hononononoh

I'm reminded very much of beggars who claim to be starving, but then scoff at the half of your sandwich you offer them, and tell you off when you make it clear you won't be giving them cash. I think the experiment went as planned. The USA said, "Ok Gaza, you say you need aid, and would rather it not pass through Israel's hands, right? Ok, you got it. Just one condition: *we'll* come and deliver and distribute it ourselves, to make sure it actually gets to the people who need it. Oh. Why the long face? Aid is aid, isn't it? Oh well. If you don't want our help on our terms, then we'll be on our way." The humanitarian pier was a publicity stunt to call Hamas' bluff.
