    I always said that the aid pier was entirely performative, but that’s even more pathetic than I was expecting

    It was always a literal boondoggle.

    It existed to give the illusion if doing something to help, it was the equivalent to burning the aid money slowly while starving children watched.

    Fuck Biden for doing shit like this and then insisting if he’s not president it has to be trump.

        Yes, I thought it was clear that was what I was complaining about

        Fuck Biden for doing shit like this and then insisting if he’s not president it has to be trump

        It takes a special kind of evil to blatantly facilitate a genocide because you know if you’re held accountable even worse shit gets done.

        They’re both pieces of shit.

    What don’t the Palestinians simply die so all the Israelis can build nice homes on the beach already? So selfish.

    The pier did not deliver aid equal to a single day of land aid. Most of the aid was left to rot because israel did not allow it in. Israel also kept bombing the warehouse with the aid.

    The pier was used to disguise an israeli military operatation as an aid truck and colonize the land. Israel has since built a giant military base near the pier they claim would be used for aid.

        The UN workers distributing the aid brought in from the pier were bombed by israel. And also the warehouse used to store said aid was bombed by israel.

        Though At the start of the Genocide IDF casualties were at least 20% friendly fire so your statement is also correct. They just fire at anything that moves.
