The section that connects to the beach in Gaza was rebuilt nearly two weeks after heavy storms damaged it and abruptly halted what had already been a troubled delivery route.
No. I’m saying that relying on that leverage completely, and expecting a fast and complete solution, and allowing the Gazians to starve to death if that hailmerry doesn’t work, is completely asinine.
And that’s not even taking into account what the absolute 180 on foreign policy WRT Isreal will cost us in the short and long term. It could very possibly give the entire election over to the Republicans. Which would obviously be even worse for Gaza.
They could have spent that two months pressuring Israel to open aid corridors for trucking.
And most likely have nothing to show for it. At least the dock has already achieved getting millions of pounds of aid into Gaza, and hopefully many more millions before it breaks again.
And I’m sorry, “we have to aid Israel in its genocide to stop the Republicans from winning” is a bullshit excuse.
Maybe to you, but it’s a real risk. Not everyone lives in this progressive bubble of yours. I have zero confidence in the voting public, and I have far less confidence that the Republicans won’t actively encourage genocide in Gaza and beyond given the president and a majority in the other branches.

Fast and complete? This pier took two months to build. They could have spent that two months pressuring Israel to open aid corridors for trucking.

Why “most likely?” Based on what evidence?
And if you feel that you need to aid another nation to continue slaughtering children to save your own, maybe you don’t have much worth saving.
