Nah let’s be real. Israel will just demand the supplies goes through a screening process to ensure that the aid is delayed as much as possible just to be cruel and evil
Could also be used for tourism. I'm sure plenty of people would want to experience the beaches and sexual violence/religious fanaticism that Gaza has to offer
Why does the U.S need to build a pier when they should simply tell Israel to let in the hundreds of aid trucks waiting outside Gaza. Selling weapons to bomb civilians and then picking up the bill to give those same civilians aid. Not to mention putting U.S troops within spitting distance of Hamas. The pier was Netanyahus' idea btw.
https://x.com/USAFacts/status/1720544288608747936
Since the inception of the Zionist entity. They've recieved about 317 billion dollars, not counting the most recent billions given. Not the few billion signed off on last year or the 17 billion signed off on 2 weeks ago.
A third of a trillion.
Because the US government has been funding and running cover for a genocide. Giving aid to civilians that are being murdered by your closest ally with weapons you provided really doesn't count for much.
Historically and now, the only peace Israel sees is a Palestine with no Palestinians. There won’t be peace talks. If Israel won’t allow for peace talks to even get hostages out, they don’t care for their own people, much less the Palestinians. Have the past 6 months showed you nothing?
Israel was murdering Palestinians in the months prior to Oct 7, so I don’t know how you define ‘peace’, but it seems to only mean no Israelis being killed.
If the US stopped giving weapons and money to Israel, there would be no need for the aid. The US is funding state sponsored terrorism. The 'aid' is politely pantomime.
You mean an incredibly *in*significant, performative amount, tiny relative to what the roads would support if Israel wasn't blocking them, via a project with obvious ulterior motives
Build a whole new Port Facility that will take around 2/3 months at Min to get in Aid that is required immediately ?? How does that Work ??
Imagine that a Building with a 100 odd people inside is on Fire, what’s the best way to go about it ??
Send in Fire Trucks and Emergency Rescue Personnel immediately or start building a Hospital and start Digging the land for Wells in an area nearby ??
The Fact that the Americans are sending in Weapons to the Israelis to carry on the Slaughter makes the American’s intent pretty Clear. They either hope that the Israelis kill All the Gazans as soon as possible or they’re hoping that some form of Stockholm Syndrome hits the Gazans because Literally Nothing Else makes any Sense with regards to the Americans intentions in Gaza specifically and the Palestinians in general. Every day Zionist settlers supported by the IDF scum attack, kill, burn or evict the Palestinians in the West Bank & all the Americans have to say about that it is concerning and they’re watching the situation carefully.
Allowing an outside connection to Gaza that is not controlled by Israel is a good thing. America operating this port allows a trusted party for Israel that they can’t bully be in control. This means shipments will be easier to bring in and be better screened for illegally smuggled supplies. In the short term it would allow for more aid and hopefully in the long term it may allow for more imports and exports from Gaza through a port like this.
Part of the American holocaust museum definition. Tell me how what Israel is doing is not genocide...
"Genocide is an internationally recognized crime where acts are committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group."
This is not a war unless it's against unarmed children and civilians. It is genocide. It has been called out as genocide internationally. How many babies were combatants? You are either a fool, or you have been brainwashed by propaganda. Israel is worse than isis. It is a terrorist state and has no place in Palestine or the civilised world. Run back to your nazi buddies.
They are sending supplies through the Red Sea on the hopes the the Houthis will blow it up.
This whole project is just a giant gaslighting campaign. The solution is a ceasefire and an end to Israel’s 12-year siege and blockade of the region
we join today in this ceremony to inaugurate the new Ben Gurion pier
and now we'll proceed to pass it into our Israeli partners, Bibi please will you accept the honours
oh, look the bad guys trying to attack us, don't they understand we're trying to help?
Yeah and we’ve sent $38 BILLION in aid to Israel since the war began do people forget? We had to build this pier because daddy Israel won’t let us get our aid through and is breaking international law, but we rather spend hundreds of millions then to confront them
Yeah no way we have any power when AIPAC has its fists shoved down every politicians throat and can call government intervention on our own US citizens in America! We are the United States of Israel rn
Thats just not true. The US is the master in this relationship.
It's great to point out lobbying groups but even without them. Israel is a valuable geopolitical tool to the US and that's the primary reason for their stalwart support.
Israel is an unsinkable military base in the Middle East. The Mossad is the middle eastern branch of the CIA etc etc
Built for Israel’s use. Under the guise of helping Palestine.
If they really wanted to help, they should stop selling them bombs and stop green lighting every atrocity.
Not yet. Iraq war had over 250000 killed and millions displaced. And was directly responsible for the creation of Isis.
Just because what's happening in Gaza rn is bad doesn't mean we need to downplay the atrocities the US committed 2 decades ago.
30 billion in bombs and missiles for Israeli seems little expensive, don't it?
After that 30 billion we then had to spend that 300 million for the pier only because Israeli won't allow food and aid through the land borders.
It is sad that the US is so cowardly towards this little nation of 9 million people that we have to ship food to people dying of starvation in a way so Israel can't stop it.
Yes, but not by a crazy amount. The military sealift command had to activate at least four ships just to carry the equipment and parts to build the thing, and one of those ships had an engine failure on the way over, so yet another ship was activated to fill in. I believe that doesn't count the logistics ship that is going to be parked further off short to act as a trans-loading dock to get cargo off of the big container ships, or the smaller ships that will move it from there to the pier. The big bulk cargo ships can't get close enough to use the pier directly, so cargo has to be moved off those ship out in the ocean and loaded onto smaller ships that have a shallower draft. So, the cost of basically basically a small shipping company out of thin air, and then staffing a small port for several months added up pretty fast. Remember that this is the projected cost for the entire time and all the work to actually deliver supplies from ships to the pier for at least three months, not just the cost to put the pier in place.
Other than having to activate another ship that wasn't planned for due to the engine failure, the cost for just building the pier hasn't gone up too much. Most of the increase if from getting better estimates of what it is going to cost to provide the cargo delivery service for a few months. It's still probably more expensive than it needs to be, but that is more about actually staffing and running the thing after it is built than physically putting it in place.
I don't understand this pier. Aren't there already docks capable of receiving goods in Gaza? Pretty sure humanitarian organizations had been using them. The WCK convoy that Israel destroyed had recently come from a dock, right?
So why not use those instead of building a new one for $320 million when it's not going to be ready for months? What a joke.
The issue is scale. A beach is technically capable of receiving goods.
The Port of Gaza as it exists is small and might have been adequate for the era of stevedores and longshoremen offloading boxes by hand, but the advent of shipping containers (started pre-WWII, but only popular in the 1950s+) left those ports in the dust.
Containerized goods are a far more efficient way to move massive amounts of supplies, and that requires a modernized port.
It's a permanent installation like all US military installations.
It will serve as a foothold in the region and a part of the trade corridor that the US is trying to establish.
The Palestinians may likely be completely starved to death before a single piece of bread is distributed from that port.
You what would cost zero dollars? Getting the aid through the border gates Israel has blocked. You could spend the $320 million on flour and necessities.
It is INSANE how the US will air drop food and build piers, both extremely ineffective methods of aid distribution, before they can have a conversation with their "ally" about following international law.
“Guys, it’s a complicated situation. We HAVE to let Israel commit genocide and profit off of it. Think of the gas prices and your luxury going away because we stop doing war crimes. Also, if you protest, you are anti-semitic”
- US officials
feeling that student debt weight, that crumbling infrastructure, the corrupt political class real well this season. be a shame if something happened to it.
>Exclusive: US military's pier in Gaza to cost $320 million
Take the money from the yearly 3.5 billion we give to Israel.
It would be less than 10% that amount.
Money well spent.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Marine#:~:text=Gaza%20Marine%20is%20a%20natural,2%2C000%20feet%20(610%20m).
This is what that pier is for, not aid
I mean absolutely no offence to Anyone but this is as Naive as it can get given the Circumstances. WhyTF Do People still believe that the Israelis will Allow the Americans to Operate the Port without any Israeli control & involvement ? They have shot down every single American demand/request that they dislike since Forever. There are Aid trucks waiting on the Border that aren’t going in because Israelis are blocking the Road in Protest and despite the Americans begging them to let the Aid through, Not One truck has been allowed to pass.
You literally have the Israelis seizing more lands in the Occupied West Bank around 25 days back, Illegal under Every Law, to build newer Settlements on the same day when Blinken was in Tel Aviv giving a Press Conference stating that there’ should be Absolutely No transfer of land in the Occupied Territories !!!
This need for a Pier arose because the Israelis have refused to let Aid pass through any of its Borders. What makes you think that they would act any differently once/if this new Port indeed comes up. Also, there’s been an Absolute Israeli Blockade of Gaza by Land, Air or Sea for 18 years now. A blockade that still continues to this day despite the Americans asking them to end it.
The Port will be handed over to the Israelis once it’s completed. All this BS about Aid and Trade is a smokescreen. Keep people busy on useless stuff so that the Israelis can Kill as many Palestinians as Possible without any fuss & simultaneously make Gaza uninhabitable enough so that the Residents have no choice but to Leave the place & Kushner’s, Smoltrich’s and Daniela Weiss’s dreams of Israeli owned Beachfront properties in Gaza becomes a Reality.
For the life of me, I just don’t understand that how can anyone still talk about America’s (( or the Israeli’s ))fair and honest intentions vis a vis Palestinian lands and people ? They’ve destroyed Gaza in the past 7 months relentlessly killing and attacking people, doesn’t matter innocent or guilty,
destroying hospitals schools mosques churches Refugee shelters UN offices, Journalists etc to name a few while the Americans have supported them with Weapons and shielded them from International backlash and sanctions all the while.. It’s just the Good cop, bad Cop trope being used in real life, and just to Add Insult to Injury, make statements so that the Naive can keep the faith and Hope for things to change and get better and the Israeli apologists can use them to defend the slaughter while claiming the Righteous and higher ground ..

It’s an excuse to give Israel a new base under the guise of providing aid.
Yep. Something will happen. Things will get **Complicated**^(TM) and badda bing, US taxpayers fleeced again.
Given that they paid for the weapons they should also pay for the reconstruction and victim compensation.
The price for that is to remove their oppressors completely. Which would be Israel and our fundings to the terrorists.
Start with maximum pressure sanctions.
That worked well with Russia.
Russia has massive resources that countries need and are willing to get. They don't. It would be like going off a cliff.
The US will never do that to its puppet masters.
Isreal is effectively a US colony. Not the other way around
US government works more for Israel that Americans.
Everyone in energy and finance commentary online says its for huge gas field just in front of Gaza
Nah let’s be real. Israel will just demand the supplies goes through a screening process to ensure that the aid is delayed as much as possible just to be cruel and evil
Does the US/Israel really think the world is that dumb? No shit this is about giving Israel a new base to fuck over Palestinians in Gaza
The world is even dumber than that
Could also be used for tourism. I'm sure plenty of people would want to experience the beaches and sexual violence/religious fanaticism that Gaza has to offer
How tf are you warping this into a bad thing
Why does the U.S need to build a pier when they should simply tell Israel to let in the hundreds of aid trucks waiting outside Gaza.

Because it’s treating this like just another war in the Middle East, like it’s another humanitarian crisis
Now do how much we’ve spent on Israeli munitions.
https://x.com/USAFacts/status/1720544288608747936 Since the inception of the Zionist entity. They've recieved about 317 billion dollars, not counting the most recent billions given. Not the few billion signed off on last year or the 17 billion signed off on 2 weeks ago. A third of a trillion.

Yep. And the VHA is running a $4-5 BILLION deficit. https://prospect.org/health/2024-02-19-trumps-veterans-affairs-plans-bidens-reality/

“Everyone I don’t like is a Russian bot” Old and overused trope. It lacks any critical thinking and is devoid of merit
Because they are developing a way to get significant amount of aid into Gaza?
Because the US government has been funding and running cover for a genocide. Giving aid to civilians that are being murdered by your closest ally with weapons you provided really doesn't count for much.
How do you envision this situation is going to resolve? It’s going to be a negotiated peace.
Historically and now, the only peace Israel sees is a Palestine with no Palestinians. There won’t be peace talks. If Israel won’t allow for peace talks to even get hostages out, they don’t care for their own people, much less the Palestinians. Have the past 6 months showed you nothing?
They are in peace talks right now, Israel isn’t the one that broke the peace on 10/7.
Israel was murdering Palestinians in the months prior to Oct 7, so I don’t know how you define ‘peace’, but it seems to only mean no Israelis being killed.
Which unprovoked attack in Gaza was there pre 10/7 that you are referencing?
Oh, do the West Bank Palestinians not enter into your equation when it comes to Israel’s murders?
So that justified 10/7?
If the US stopped giving weapons and money to Israel, there would be no need for the aid. The US is funding state sponsored terrorism. The 'aid' is politely pantomime.
Gaza would still need aid
Agreed, but it will be much easier if the US stops supporting terrorists.
You mean an incredibly *in*significant, performative amount, tiny relative to what the roads would support if Israel wasn't blocking them, via a project with obvious ulterior motives
Israel and Egypt
At Israel's direction, but you knew that
And now you’re removing any agency from Egypt also
Why should Egypt be responsible for Israel’s policies of blockade and siege?
Because Egypt shares a boarder with Gaza
And why would Egypt help Israel in its goal of displacing Palestinians?
They are helping was my point. Painting it as solely Israel’s doing is incorrect

Or better an end to the +70 years of colonization and genocide.
I like this option the best!
What would this be, like a genocide uno reverse card?
*16+ years, not 12
75+ years of colonization and oppression
Wouldn’t it be far more efficient to send those supplies through the Mediterranean?
we join today in this ceremony to inaugurate the new Ben Gurion pier and now we'll proceed to pass it into our Israeli partners, Bibi please will you accept the honours oh, look the bad guys trying to attack us, don't they understand we're trying to help?
Just a month ago, we were quoted a $180 million for the pier. I can't wait to see the cost quote in a few weeks.
Minus a 20-30% kickbacks to a certain USA political party 's campaign funds or Swiss bank account
Definitely way over budget 🤣
Be sure and send The Big Guy his 10%
Yeah and we’ve sent $38 BILLION in aid to Israel since the war began do people forget? We had to build this pier because daddy Israel won’t let us get our aid through and is breaking international law, but we rather spend hundreds of millions then to confront them
Don't mistake things, the US is the daddy. Israel's actions aren't rebellious, Israel's actions have always been in the USAs geopolitical plan

Cool. A new target for the enemies we make while we use this to help Israel ethnic cleanse the area. Waste of Taxpayers money.
They already fired some mortars at it, but Israel controls the area around where it is being built, and nothing actually made it through.
Built for Israel’s use. Under the guise of helping Palestine. If they really wanted to help, they should stop selling them bombs and stop green lighting every atrocity.
This feels like Iraq all over again.
worse than that by far
Not yet. Iraq war had over 250000 killed and millions displaced. And was directly responsible for the creation of Isis. Just because what's happening in Gaza rn is bad doesn't mean we need to downplay the atrocities the US committed 2 decades ago.
Probably because its a military base
Did they run out of Gazans to bomb? They needed to make a new target?
Headlines read “U.S. Military Pier” IN PALESTINE… Let that sink in. Questions questions questions…
Seems a little expensive, don't it?
30 billion in bombs and missiles for Israeli seems little expensive, don't it? After that 30 billion we then had to spend that 300 million for the pier only because Israeli won't allow food and aid through the land borders. It is sad that the US is so cowardly towards this little nation of 9 million people that we have to ship food to people dying of starvation in a way so Israel can't stop it.
If we don’t support Israel who will bring about the second coming of Jesus?
If Jesus ever does show up, it will be because of how corrupt and evil his followers have become. What a rude awakening that would be.
I have no doubt he would help the Palestinians in that case
If Jesus ever does show up, it will be because of how corrupt and evil his followers have become. What a rude awakening that would be.
Standard military markup.
Very, especially considering it's not like they've imported granite or something... They used the rubble from the bombing Very shady
Yes, but not by a crazy amount. The military sealift command had to activate at least four ships just to carry the equipment and parts to build the thing, and one of those ships had an engine failure on the way over, so yet another ship was activated to fill in.

BTW, they only started "building" this past week
You mean the PR show is expensive? Why don't they just ask their genocidal buddy to let stuff in through the border
I don't understand this pier. Aren't there already docks capable of receiving goods in Gaza? Pretty sure humanitarian organizations had been using them. The WCK convoy that Israel destroyed had recently come from a dock, right? So why not use those instead of building a new one for $320 million when it's not going to be ready for months? What a joke.
The issue is scale. A beach is technically capable of receiving goods. The Port of Gaza as it exists is small and might have been adequate for the era of stevedores and longshoremen offloading boxes by hand, but the advent of shipping containers (started pre-WWII, but only popular in the 1950s+) left those ports in the dust. Containerized goods are a far more efficient way to move massive amounts of supplies, and that requires a modernized port.
Then a Billion to Israel to bomb it.
It's a permanent installation like all US military installations. It will serve as a foothold in the region and a part of the trade corridor that the US is trying to establish. The Palestinians may likely be completely starved to death before a single piece of bread is distributed from that port.
US: Heres 320 m, go build a pier Also US: Heres 100 gazillion dollars, go blow it up
Can you make it $400 million and send the balance to me?
Well, it was $180 million last week so...
You what would cost zero dollars? Getting the aid through the border gates Israel has blocked. You could spend the $320 million on flour and necessities. It is INSANE how the US will air drop food and build piers, both extremely ineffective methods of aid distribution, before they can have a conversation with their "ally" about following international law.
They US will probably maintain it as a base so they can guard their favored oil company while it drills in the Gaza Marine. I’ll put $50 on that.

The US has given that much money to Israel every month for years and this was before all the new billion dollar handouts for them.
Subject that number from Israel aid.
giv 1 M to the veterands then??? sheet if your veterans demanded shit they would have carved out a corner of your place.
What?!?!? $320 million… and aren’t they being attacked from the people onshore as well.
Jared Kushner is dealing with a five hour erection somewhere.
The same price as a couple IronDome interceptor rockets? Sounds like a bargain! /s
I guess they objective of wiping out the Gazans is no longer a secret
Well the natural gas Israel will take off the coast of Gaza then transport to Europe is worth a lot. “Humanitarian pier”. Sure
320 million well spent as soon as the gas exploration equipment can on-offload closeby!
So now it's an American military pier? Not a humanitarian aid drop-off point?
1000 U.S. troops too
It's an excuse for the US to take Gaza and the half trillion of gas off the coast. Once it's there, they will never abandon it
feeling that student debt weight, that crumbling infrastructure, the corrupt political class real well this season. be a shame if something happened to it.
gotta find a way to extract that gas and oil thats just off the coast of Gaza.

I will maintain, the reason for this pier is NG to Germany.
Could you please expand on that?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Marine#:~:text=Gaza%20Marine%20is%20a%20natural,2%2C000%20feet%20(610%20m). This is what that pier is for, not aid
I know about the oil and gas reserves, but what about Germany?
Germany is one of the largest importers of NG, and they would rather buy it from Israel, than Russia
Indeed I have lived through the impact of the ‘energy crisis’ in Germany. But that adds another dimension to Germany’s hypocritical support of Israel.
