    The fact that Israel suggested the pier to begin with should have tipped everyone off. The lack of aid getting into Gaza is not due to a logistical problem, you can’t solve it through haphazardly slapped together shipping infrastructure. Especially when that infrastructure already existed; does anyone think Gaza didn’t already have a suitable pier? Even if they didn’t there’s tons of aid sitting at the southern border behind lines of Israeli settlers protesting it.

    Did they stop with air drops? Because at least those were reaching the area instead of being confiscated by the IDF.

      The ones they dropped into the ocean causing people to drown trying to retrieve them or the ones they dropped on top of crowds of people, crushing them?

        This reduces demand. Sounds fine to me.

        the ones they dropped on top of crowds of people, crushing them?

        This increases supply. I think you’re not looking at this from a capitalist perspective: increased supply, decreased demand? The US is just improving access to food!

      have you, and I say this from a place of concern, been living under a rock? there are deep time reasons for the current state of the region and most of them are a direct result of imperial powers (UK, US, et al.) sticking their self interested cod pieces into other peoples sand.

      perhaps I am misunderstanding your comment, but the apparent level of reductive “us vs them” ideation is not helpful.
