        Well, true. Pretty much everything he’s done pro Palestine has been 99% performative. But my point was that it’s bizarre to claim that Israel is not starving Palestinians while also building a pier because aid (including food) isn’t getting rhrough

      Several of the ships sent have been doing similar operations to the region for over a decade, so it probably wasn’t a difficult move to make.

        My point was that it shows he clearly understands that aid, mainly food, wasn’t getting through. He’s a liar

          And mine was that he hasn’t done much in general about the situation. I like the pier and airdrops as concepts but I don’t think they were impactful to the scale of what we could accomplish if we really tried.

            If he really wanted change he would pressure Israel. The US is the sole reason this situation hasn’t ever resolved

      Maybe he will change the function of the pier to “more efficient delivery of military aid to the israeli stormtroopers in Gaza.” Those tank shells blowing up tents aren’t gonna refill themselves.
