The U.S. military has started moving a pier towards the Gaza coast, a U.S. official said on Wednesday, one of the last steps before the launch of a maritime port promised by President Joe Biden to speed the flow of humanitarian aid to Palestinians.

The U.S. military opted to pre-assemble the maritime pier at Israeli port of Ashdod earlier this month due to weather conditions at the Gaza site where it will now be installed.

Officials hope the pier can be anchored to the coast of Gaza and aid can start flowing in the coming days.

"Earlier today, components of the temporary pier ... along with military vessels involved in its construction, began moving from the Port of Ashdod towards Gaza, where it will be anchored to the beach to assist in the delivery of international humanitarian aid," a U.S. official said.

Armed boats and planes are a lot more difficult for Hamas terrorists to hijack and commandeer versus an unescorted slow moving heavy transport truck.

So far the only attacks on food trucks have been done by Israeli's with the IDF standing idly by, watching it happen.

If you have proof otherwise, please show it.

I have no proof, fuck Israeli settlers, I hope they never see peace.

My reflection is on the USA Israel relation. Hamas is gonna Hamas no matter what.

Not when they're dead.

You cant kill an ideology with bullets, if you could I wouldnt be a feral Redneck. Id just be feral.

Yes you can. There's no future in violent radical panislamism.

Have you seen these new directed energy weapons? A shot that used to cost literally a few hundred thousand dollars now costs 13 cents.

No you cant, ideas can be revived. The only way to truly destroy them is to remove the fuel. Which in this case is Israel being bastards.
