A stunning event predicted by everyone the instant the pier was announced…
Just to nip the inevitable deluge of “I don’t trust an Israeli news source” comments in the bud, here’s an article from the Navy Times that cited statements by American and UN sources stating the attack took place. No casualties were reported by said US and UN sources.
At the time of this comment the article states that no group or organization has taken responsibility for the mortar attack.
American and UN sources
I don’t trust them either
I only trust reliable Hamas news
Well then have fun twiddling your thumbs, I guess.

I’m going to go with the 99.9% more likely scenario of IDF terrorists posing as Hamas in order to attack US infrastructure, sway public sentiment away from Gaza, and further accomplish the goals of the genocide they are currently prosecuting. Fuck Israel.
There’s no way to know at this very moment and projecting your own bias as an amateur, which I’m assuming you are, reveals your own status as a moron, or worse; a bad actor.
Good point. Unlike the other two Israel twinks in this conversation you actually did isolate a legitimate bias in my original rhetoric. Therefore, I partially accept your criticism.
However, it is also important to note that we have repeatedly seen the IDF intentionally obfuscationing its atrocities by using the fog of war as part of their psychological warfare campaign. So, I am comfortable saying that there is significant strategic value to them attacking US aid infrastructure…
Blaming it on the Jews never gets old.
Where did I say “Jews”? Please point that out for the whole class. Unlike you, I am able to effectively differentiate the political entity of Israel from the socio-religious culture of the global Jewish diaspora.
I am also aware that IDF tactics have repeatedly included the use of covert terrorist attacks that have then been blamed on other groups to justify their own ends. Additionally the Israeli military already set a precedent for this by attacking the United States military in a similar fashion during the Six Days War.
So, no, I do not trust Israel will not use the IDF to destroy infrastructure in order to continue blocking aid from reaching the Gazans who desperately need it.

Sure bud. Whatever helps you feel like you won the conversation.
First of all, I don’t think you need to teach me any history. Secondly, people like you need to blame everything on Isreal. You need to do that because putting the any blame on terrorist organizations that are are affiliated with Iran and Russia doesn’t fit your narrative that they’re good guys. Your good guys/bad guys routine has been going on so long its just repetitive and boring.
Look chief, I could sit here and dismantle your continued attempts at forced generalization of my positions, but that would do neither of us any good.
The minute you hit me with the “you people” routine this conversation was effectively over. If you want to have a conversation with another adult, then you’re going to have to start acting like one.
Fair enough. I don’t want a conversation with you. It’s useless.
Saying everything is antisemitism is super lame and not helping like you think
People have been blaming the Jews since the Romans. That’s what’s lame.
You still don’t get it and are just turning even more people against. We fucking hate the Israeli government who have become genociders. We don’t give a fuck about your religion. Stop hiding behind it and stop slaughtering people in Gaza or literally no one not even in America will listen to you
I really don’t care if you’re against me.
As usual. A noun, a verb and genociders!
I’m not a Jew boss.
Haven’t slaughtered anybody lately either.
You speak for America huh

It’s already here.
Blaming it on the Jews never gets old.
Wow so you think black people are antisemitic? Why are you so racist?
Do you see how totally fucking stupid that would be as a response to you?
They’ve been blaming the Jews since the Romans. That is simply true.
So every time a black person expresses an opinion you choose to silence them? I can’t believe the hate I’m facing right now
Wait a minute, I have to check if I have ever silenced the black people I live with…no, sure haven’t
You’re doing it right now. You’re only arguing with me because I’m black. The hate is on display for everybody to see
No I actually have two black roommates. But, it doesn’t matter, you will believe what you will.
Attempting to equate Zionist Israelis with all Jews got old a long fucking time ago.
Just this morning I read about construction of the pier, and said to my wife “I wonder how long it will take for an accidential bombing of that site.”
AP decided this was not headline worthy:
Concerns still loom large — the pier was attacked Wednesday, the U.N. official said, as four high-ranking U.N. officials were visiting the site. The military said the mortar fire from Gaza militants forced the officials to take shelter, but no one was killed or harmed.
https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-gaza-aid-port-eb8a701b3a7dc8f946422c04323ff913
From the article…
Gazan terrorists fired mortar shells on Wednesday towards the construction work on the humanitarian pier being built off the coast of Gaza.
Israeli news site, zero sources or evidence cited. Definitely trustworthy.
I just mentioned what I did because the Lemmy headline or summary didn’t mention the humanitarian pier at all.
Hamas knows if this is built then they can’t sell all the aid that they get for free. Bad for business
Yes, and it was predictable.
