The pointless pier that doesn’t solve a problem caused by Isntreal doesn’t work?
That’s the point. But when Israel demands the Palestinians to be forcefully removed, they will exclaim that the pier can be used to have them ported out. To say, the EU or USA. Since removing them has always been the point. Thatich has been clear since the beginning of their invasion of Gaza, killing 35,000+ and herding them into that direction. The issue is if they will get away with it and the rest of the West will allow it. Or they will demand that Egypt takes them, which they won’t unless maybe they get we debt forgiven plus cash. Which I still doubt they will, Egypt is financially broke and has crazy debt anday not want to take millions of refugees.
Can see the Egyptian POV.
These refugees previously were politically destabilizing Egypt from within. They don’t want a repeat of that.
The US is a 3rd party. If Israel deported them it would be a war crime. If the US accepts them onto that pier, it’s not.
Solves Egypt and Israel mutual problem.
The US could then push them into Canada. If anything bad happened there, it would be an improvement over the status quo.
This article doesn’t say “but distribution blocked” anywhere, that is OP’s invention. They only started receiving shipments today. The article quotes a “US aid chief” as saying other land crossings and humanitarian corridors are still needed in addition to this pier.
The Associated Press, however, quoted an unnamed UN official as saying distribution of the shipment had not begun as of Friday afternoon.
The Guardian changes titles more frequently than you change underwear.
No problem. Dump them into Libyan slave markets.
This will free up the pier for more able bodied workers, err i mean, refugees.
Think about beauty of it. The Barbary Pirates of North Africa were targeting US trade during Thomas Jefferson term in office. Forcing the formation of the US Navy.
The US can get back to being ol’ friends with them.
And come back history wise full circle
So if the Israelis block the aid their weapons packages should also be blocked, right? Not that the US should’ve given them in the first place, but if they’re not gonna let humanitarian aid in, then I guess we should just give the bombs to Palestine
Lets repeat this a few hundred more times. A clock and a gold fish are going to have a better trading records than you can ever hope for.
Any country the US sets up a pier near, will have no choice but to deal with the local government. In no universe, will that not be the case.
If not, that pier is Israeli territory! They can land troops there and just say,
Thank you!. And there is not much the US could do.So cooperation with Israel is key to making this precedent work. Might be quite the show watching the US try to do humble
