President Joe Biden ordered the construction of a temporary pier to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza earlier this year even as some staffers for the US Agency for International Development (USAid) expressed concerns that the effort would be difficult to pull off and undercut the effort to persuade Israel to open “more efficient” land crossings, according to a USAid inspector general report.

But the $230m military-run project known as the Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore system, or JLOTS, would operate for only about 20 days. Aid groups pulled out of the project by July, ending a mission plagued by repeated weather and security problems that limited how much food and other emergency supplies could get to starving Palestinians.

    Could have given me that money instead, I would have donated some of it to UNRWA and that would probably help Palestinians more than that Pier and thanks to the rest of the money I would never have to work again which would also improve my life.

    Of course they could also stop delivering weapons to the Zionists, push through an immediate ceasefire and stop the genocide and Apartheid and decolonize Palestine but that would be too easy I guess.
