Too much aid..then why is the US military building a pier?

If I had to guess, the Biden Idiocracy promised to build the pier so that Iran can deliver weapons directly to the Palestinians rather than having to go through Egypt. 

The USA is now denying Israel armament.  The USA is clear in their support for terrorism.  This makes no sense to the average American, but this is what you get from a government under the thumb of a muslim, Obama.  If anyone is clearly running this clown act, it is Obama through Rice.  Biden is not functional on any level.  He has made that clear. 

Israel needs to destroy Rafa, and the civilian population be damned.  92% of the population in Palestine voted for Hamas, so why is the USA so concerned about civilians?

The USA is one heck of an ally!   NOT!!!

Israel has the right to destroy Hamas in its entirety, and I fully support that.  And if civilians get in the way, so what!

You all know what will happen.  With the first ship docked to deliver weapons and armament from Iran at this American made dock, Israel will bomb it and sink it to the bottom of the sea.  You can bet on it happening.  This money being spent to feed a population of genocidal maniacal terrorists is idiotic, but the Biden Idiocracy is just that stupid.

My bet is on Hamas blowing it up before Israel has a chance to do it.

Hamas will attack the construction workers to prevent it from being built, and to embarass the West.

Smells like Beirut (1983) and Mogadishu (1993) all over again - give the jihadis exactly what they want - more American targets.

My bet is on Hamas blowing it up before Israel has a chance to do it.

Hamas publishes the cease-fire proposal it agreed to

BEIRUT — Hamas has published a copy of the cease-fire and hostage release proposal that the militant group said it had agreed to on Monday.

The framework brought forward by Qatar and Egypt aims to bring a halt to seven months of war in Gaza. However, it’s unclear if Israel will agree to the terms.

The proposal outlines a phased release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza alongside the gradual withdrawal of Israeli troops from the entire enclave and ending with a “sustainable calm” or “permanent cessation of military and hostile operations.”

Israel has previously said it would not agree to either a full withdrawal of its forces or a permanent cease-fire as part of a hostage release deal.

The first stage would last 42 days and would involve a partial withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip and the release of about 33 hostages held in the territory, including the remaining Israeli women — both civilians and soldiers — as well as children, older adults and people who are ill.

Thirty Palestinian prisoners held in Israel would be released in exchange for each Israeli civilian hostage and 50 in exchange for each female soldier.

Palestinians displaced in Gaza would be allowed to return to their home neighborhoods during that time.

The parties would then negotiate the terms of the next stage, under which the remaining civilian men and soldiers would be released, while Israeli forces would withdraw from the rest of Gaza. This phase would be conditioned on achievement of a “sustainable calm.”

The final stage would involve exchange of the bodies of hostages who died in captivity and the beginning of a reconstruction plan for the enclave that would take place over three to five years “under the supervision of a number of countries and organizations, including: Egypt, Qatar and the United Nations.”

Here is a timeline of the recent twists and turns in the cease-fire talks.
May 6, 2024

Within the course of mere days, hopes for a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip have been raised, dashed and raised again, with no clear explanation.

The confusion was perhaps never more evident than on Monday, when Hamas claimed to have accepted the terms of a truce deal even as Israel — a week after making concessions in the hope of an agreement — was ordering civilians in the southern Gazan city of Rafah to evacuate and escalating its airstrikes there.

Here is a look at the recent dizzying turn of events.

Monday, April 29
Israeli officials, offering a hint of hope for a deal, said that their negotiators had reduced the number of hostages they wanted Hamas to release during the first phase of a truce.

Thursday, May 2
A Hamas leader said that the group would soon send a delegation to Cairo to “complete ongoing discussions” on a cease-fire deal.

Saturday, May 4
With talks underway, a senior Hamas official said in a text message that the group’s representatives had arrived in Cairo for the talks, “with great positivity” toward the latest proposal.

Sunday, May 5
The talks — which are held indirectly, through mediators — hit an impasse, and Hamas said its delegation had left Cairo. An Israeli official described the negotiations as in “crisis.”

Late in the day, Hamas launched rockets at a border crossing between Gaza and Israel, killing four Israeli soldiers. Israel stepped up its attacks in Gaza.

Monday, May 6
Hamas said it accepted the terms of a cease-fire — not as laid out in Israel’s proposal, but drawn from one put forth by Egypt and Qatar.

The timing appeared noteworthy. The announcement was made after Israel had ordered people to evacuate from some areas in Rafah, a sign that Israeli forces might be close to launching a long-anticipated invasion of the refugee-packed city. Late in the day, the Israeli military said it was carrying out “targeted strikes” on in eastern Rafah.

The strikes may prove to be an attempt to turn up the pressure on Hamas negotiators. Late in the day, in keeping with a week of contradictory signals, the Israeli prime minister’s office said that Hamas’s latest cease-fire proposal was unsatisfactory.

Then it said would send a working-level delegation back to the talks in Cairo anyway.

Qatari delegation to resume indirect negotiations in Cairo

A Qatari delegation will head to Cairo tomorrow to resume indirect talks between Hamas and Israel in the hope of bringing about a cease-fire in Gaza, Qatar’s Foreign Affairs Ministry said.

The ministry in a statement said that its spokesperson Majed bin Mohammed al-Ansari made the announcement to the Qatar News Agency.

He expressed “the State of Qatar’s hope that the talks will culminate in reaching an agreement for an immediate and permanent cease-fire in the Gaza Strip, and the exchange of prisoners and detainees, and the sustainable flow of humanitarian aid into all areas of the Strip.”

Wish Israel would give those college turds a real reason to protest. 

[jafo2010]

Whack-a-mole.  Fact is, Israel destroys Hamas and their 50,000 +/- terrorists, and 50,000 will replace them under a new name within one year.  Unless all of Palestine is destroyed, expect more of the same.

Imagine killing 50,000 Nazis, and expecting the remaining tens of millions of Germans would seek peace.  Did not happen, and will not happen now.  Palestine society is thoroughly comprised of genocidal mindsets.  Their entire existence needs to be destroyed, for these are not rational people.  Biden wanting to bring these murderous maggots to America should result in his immediate removal as POTUS.  He is completely unstable mentally!!!

Why do Arabs take Israelis as hostages? Because Israel is a Western Nation and loves its people.
Why do Israelis NOT take hostages? Because the brutal barbarian Hamas Arabs do not care. Shoot them all, we don't give a shit.

Bring Them Home: The Five Americans Still Held Hostage by Hamas



Elizabeth Weibel 10 May 2024

There are still five American hostages being held by Hamas. And though our leaders seem to have forgotten them, the American people have not.

Hamas murdered 1,200 people in Israel in the October 7, 2023, terror attack, and took more than 250 hostages. While some hostages have been freed, there are still roughly 130 hostages still being held by Hamas — not all of whom are still alive.

Five of them are U.S. citizens.

The five American hostages who are still in Hamas’ captivity are; Keith Siegel, 65, Sagui Dekel-Chen, 35, Omer Neutra, 22, Edan Alexander, 20, and Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23.

Here is a brief description of each.

This came yesterday via email from Magen David Adom (Israel emergency medical service):

Playground Hit By Rocket Attack

This morning, Hamas launched a rocket barrage at the southern city of Be’er Sheva. One of the rockets hit a children’s playground in the middle of town and wounded a 37-year-old woman who was nearby.

Thanks be to God that the warning sirens sounded in time, and the playground was not filled with children when the rocket landed. Rockets and shrapnel also destroyed a vehicle and damaged buildings and roads in the city.

This attack follows a series of missile, mortar, and drone attacks launched by Hezbollah in the north, damaging property, starting fires, and causing more casualties.

MAGEN DAVID ADOM paramedics and EMTs have courageously raced to the scene of every attack to find and care for the wounded. But the attacks just keep coming. ...

Story from The Telegraph at Yahoo News.

A rare Hamas attack hit the southern Israel city of Be’er Sheva on Friday evening, injuring a woman.

A total of five rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip at Be’er Sheva, the Israeli Defence Forces said in a statement. One was intercepted by the Iron Dome and the other four hit open areas.

A 37-year old woman was taken to hospital as she was lightly injured by shrapnel. Images from the city showed impact at a children’s playground, with some of the plastic installations mangled by the blast wave. ...

I'm doubtful that Brandon could care less.  Secondly, is there any proof that they are still alive?  You would think that one of Brandon's objectives would have been to bring them home when they were first taken hostage.  Of course we all know what his record is; leave Americans behind - they are expendable.
