    I don’t understand this at all. Why are they building a pier instead of dropping off by boat?

    What is the shitty excuse for taking two extra months?

      It’s to make it a properly defensible location. You can’t just drive a boat up to the beach when the nation’s occupants want to shoot Americans, even the ones helping them. That is how you get dead Americans, a damaged boat, and no aid actually flowing.

        I mean I’ve only heard of one party in this conflict shooting at aide bringers, and it wasn’t people from Palestine.

        I very much don’t think anybody will be shooting the people giving them food. I know Western people think of Hamas as like ISIS and Al Qaeda (both of which I would also assume wouldn’t do this but for argument’s sake), but their ideologies are too different.

          I think their implication was that the IDF would shoot the US ships for trying to feed Palestinians.
