"Gaza Relief Pier Comes Under Fire" Topic

An under-construction pier for a U.S.-led project to bring aid into the Gaza Strip came under fire Wednesday, forcing U.N. officials to take shelter there, Israeli and U.N. officials said…

Yep. I covered this under the Hamas thread last night. Hamas firing on it, surprise, right? 😉

I am shocked, shocked to discover there is shooting going on here!

Who could have ever predicted this?

Oh, right- pretty much everyone on this board…

I would take this as a sign that the Gazans don't want outside aid or a cease fire.

I find it interesting how little is said about how Hamas refuses to have a cease fire and Hamas refused to let the civilians leave combat areas. Yup, all Israel's fault. Good thing those well informed students are out there protesting.

Perhaps we should send all of our Ivy League protesters to work on it. They really seem to want to help Hamas.

Col Dunford, I volunteer to drive the bus to the airport for them! I further volunteer to drive continuously, until the last protestor is at the airport! Cheers!

Yes, the vast majority of those protesting are of military age, but as much as they hate the Israelis and lionize Hamas/Palestinians, I have not heard of one flying to Gaza to help the oppressed of Gaza, fight the evil Zionist colonizing invaders. 🤔

" Hey, hey ho ho! It's better you should die, then I should go!!"

"From the river to the sea! I ain't dying so you can be free!"

But Grattan54, if the civilians were allowed to leave the area who would the brave terrorists hide behind?

I will volunteer to ride Sgt Slag's bus on the way to the airport, and I will hand out sandwiches.

Don't ask too many questions about what they touched, though.

How easy is it for outside ( the USA ) countries to motivate our leftest do gooders!
Stupid is, as stupid does.

Read the Hamas Charter viewed against the actions not only of Hamas, but the "civilians" in the Strip. There is a reason Egypt and other countries do not want these people in their country.

I guess this should be no surprise. They are emboldened by the riots in US universities, etc. They don't want the war to end. Until they get Palestine back. Which is impossible, as we know. I'm kind of amazed how the US youths bought into all the Hamas propaganda, etc. Once again, they are "useful dupes".

Frankly it is an election year … 'nuff said

I fear the pier will later be used to embark Palestinians for transport to one of the few places stupid enough to accept them – the United States. I hope the shelling destroys it.

Good point ! Sad but true …

One person who will not be named who "works" in DC. Was interviewed by the media said, the US could take 1 million Palestinian refugees. 😯 This same person not to be named also supports the open border policies.

So somewhere around 10-12 million illegal aliens that we know of, have crossed the US borders in the past 3 years. So now add another 1 million, many who hate the USA. Sure does seem like a whole lot of people, who have to be housed, fed, provided med and education support, etc., etc., etc.

So … who is paying for all this ? (rhetorical)

The people in the US that support the open borders, illegal aliens, etc. and, in this case, advocates taking in 1 million Palestinian refugees. Are any of them taking in these people to live in their homes, pay for their food, clothing, etc., etc. ? (rhetorical)

Of course, no one has acted on this "individual's" comments on the Palestinian exodus to the US, fortunately.

It comes down to not only logistics but all the criminals of different types and terrorists, etc. coming in. And the damage/problems they cause. One way or another. It becomes a national security problem. It has 0 to do with racism …

If 12-13 million illegal aliens were all blonde-haired blue-eyed Nordics. The questions of support, etc. would still remain.

Are there even 13 million Nordics in Europe ?

However, as a sign of my magnanimous and humanitarian side(?) I will volunteer to house, feed, etc. the entire Swedish Bikini Team.

Hey what can I say ?

I'm a people person !

All true Legion..,,

Nice of you to offer your help to Scandanavian refugees. And I'll bet when ordering a meal at a chicken place you always opt for the "wing and breast" rather than "drumstick and thigh."

Yep ! All true ! I do love chicken ! 😁🐓

Just heard ABC News reported that the US top leadership wants to bring about 1000 Palestinian "refugees" to the US. I hope this report is wrong …

IIRC don't many/most of them hate the US ?

If Egypt and Jordan won't take any there is a number of reasons why obviously.

I think with this being an election year this "stunt" may be pandering votes from a certain very small portion of the US population. 'nuff said …

So again, the logistics is big factor as well as national security.

Well, I guess with 10-12 million illegal aliens already here another 1000 or so of "questionable" people/aliens won't make much of a difference …

The thought process that came up with this plan still leaves me dazed & confused.

If this stunt occurs, somewhere, somehow, not so far down the road, someone, some group, etc. is going ask, "What were they thinking ?" …

Legion… sadly all too true

We don't really need them, we already have enough folks yelling "Death to America" living here!

Yes I heard that the POTUS's plan to bring Palestinians here they must have family here in the USA. Yeah … that plan will work … NOT !!!! What are they thinking ????!?!?

Agreed … too many yelling "Death to America" already ! And many are Americans!

Of course any of these Hamas Rioters that are not an American should be deported to Gitmo … Frakk their rights ! If they have any ?!?!?

The students should be expelled … period …

Seems the exodus of Palestinians to the USA is still in the works. With the new dock the US put in at Gaza. This may help with loading Palestinians on ships. Then be taken to US bases and the airlift of these people will start unabated …
