Six Americans are still being held hostage by Hamas, and Biden has sent no troops to help them, but at the State of the Union address, he promised to send troops to build a pier for Gaza.
The estimated over 1,000 troops will spend as long as 2 months laboring to build a floating pier in a war zone under potential attack to help transfer aid to the Hamas supporters living in Gaza.
Nothing about this plan makes sense.
The media has taken to falsely claiming that the Arab Muslims occupying parts of Gaza are starving. Vice President Kamala Harris attacked Israel, claiming that she had “seen reports of families eating leaves or animal feed.” Social media videos however show the locals gorging themselves on shawarma and other foods in preparation for the Islamic period of Ramadan.
But if the Biden administration really believed that Gazans were starving right now, what would be the purpose of spending two months building a pier to deliver aid? A program with a two month lead time will not help people who are starving right now. It would be a grim joke.
And the pier plan only gets stranger from there.
According to the administration, there will be no ‘boots on the ground’ constructing the pier and according to a Pentagon spokesman, “it will not be U.S. military personnel that are transporting the aid off of the causeway into Gaza.” So who has the trucks and capability to actually do it?
The United States will build a pier for smaller ships to transfer to a temporary causeway. According to the spokesman, the administration is “coordinating with other nations to assist with operating the causeway and distributing aid into Gaza.”
Who are those nations? They’re clearly not Israel or the United States. While the Pentagon spokesman mentions Israel as a partner nation, the Israelis are already able to deliver aid.
The Pentagon spokesman mentioned the UN and nameless “ally and partner nations”.
“Why not just use those existing ports and have Israel look at what’s going through and bring it in? It seems like this is a lot of work for 60 days out when there are people starving, frankly,” a reporter asked.
And the spokesman responded with a confusing word salad because he had no good answer.
The actual answer is that the Biden administration does not actually believe that the Arab Muslim occupiers in Gaza are starving, let alone starving to death, otherwise it would be doing more than air dropping 11,000 meals and promising to have meal delivery running in 60 days.
The temporary pier setup is about bypassing Israel to provide long term access to Gaza.
While administration officials describe the pier as “temporary”, a senior official also admitted that “we look forward to the port transitioning to a commercially operated facility over time.”
That means it’s not actually meant to be temporary, but a permanent port for the terrorists.
The administration claims that it needs this port “to enable humanitarian partners to safely distribute lifesaving aid throughout Gaza”, but the claim that this is about safety makes no sense since it’s not actually providing security for the aid deliveries. A Pentagon spokesman shrugged off the question of whether Hamas might open fire on American forces or the aid deliveries.
“I mean, that’s certainly a risk, again, but if Hamas truly does care about the Palestinian people, then again, one would hope that this international mission to deliver aid to people who need it would be able to happen unhindered,” he argued. Is Biden still hoping that Hamas cares?
The Pentagon spokesman emphasized however that American forces would not be on the ground, would not be in a position to secure the aid deliveries or stop Hamas from taking them.
So what we know about the temporary pier to safely deliver supplies into Gaza is that it’s not temporary and the administration is taking no responsibility for the safety of the aid deliveries.
So what is the permanent pier actually for?
Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore (JLOTS), the Navy-Army capability exercised here, has as its goal the deployment of “LOTS assets to deploy and sustain a force” overcoming the lack of port facilities or “port denial”. Israel certainly has ports, so the issue then is port denial.
The Biden administration claims that it personally will not put troops on the ground in Gaza, but there’s no word on whether other nations might do so. The Pentagon has claimed that security arrangements are still being discussed with partner nations. And some of those partner nations could include Hamas allies like Qatar or Turkey. Any armed foreign nation entering Gaza would amount to an invasion of Israeli territory with the ultimate aim of aiding the terrorists living on it.
There is no reason to assume that moving troops is a primary goal here, but certainly ending Israel’s blockade of Gaza is. Beyond any immediate MREs, the causeway will be inevitably used to move supplies for the “reconstruction” of Gaza as part of a new “Palestinian State”.
The Biden administration is creating a gateway to Gaza that Israel isn’t supposed to control.
The Trojan pier is not only about bypassing Israel, but also Egypt. The administration’s vision is that the new arrangement will allow it to directly move materials into Gaza without having to get permission from either Israel or Egypt. And that’s a major victory for the terrorists.
Currently, the Israeli military is saying that it will coordinate the construction and inspect the cargo being transferred into Gaza, but that is yet another mistake in a series of them. Once the system is in place and if Israel has been pressured into withdrawing, it gives the terrorists a direct connection to their allies on the outside. And that includes so-called humanitarian groups.
Biden’s actions are a violation of Israel’s sovereignty. After a decade and a half of trying to bottle up Hamas after the group seized power due to Condoleezza Rice’s push for elections, Biden has decided to uncork the bottle. And while that’s bad for Israel, it’s also bad for America.
The last quarter century has been a series of painful lessons in the cost of trying to win the hearts and minds of Islamic terrorists. Having learned nothing from Afghanistan and Iraq, Biden is bent on repeating the same lunatic experiment by “flooding” Gaza with aid and rebuilding it. If he’s hoping for gratitude, the locals throwing U.S. aid packages in the trash aren’t showing it.
Nor will they.
The United States spent American lives bailing out Iraqi Shiites and Syrian Sunnis only to have them kill Americans. Obama’s Arab Spring toppled Yemen’s government and turned the Red Sea into a terror zone for international shipping. The Iran Deal gave the terror regime in Tehran billions of dollars that it used to wage war across the region. And the Biden administration helped negotiate the deals to appease Hamas that led directly to the Oct 7 atrocities.
After all that, the Biden administration wants to open up Gaza to the rest of the world.
If this latest treasonous episode of nation building succeeds, the Israelis will pay the price, but so will all of us. The ‘trojan pier’ is not about delivering aid, it’s about giving the terrorists a gateway to the world. And when that gateway is in place, the world will burn even faster.
Rip N Read says
Well thought out. Thank you for bringing this to light.
Sword of the Spirit says
Let the jag-off Biden build it. Israel should just block access to it on land.
Tionico says
Great idea. I’m certain Israel will somehow scramble the plans and results that are banging about inside that otherwise empty cranium of the guy pushing this madness. NO WAY it is actually his idea, though. He is not possessed of a sufficient number of marbles to work such a plan out. Establishing a DO NOT PASS perimeter encapsulating this floating joke would be an excellent way of neutralising it. I do hope they demand the ability to inspect any and every thing brought in through this.
Doug says
This looks very much like something Obama would have done during his presidency.
Joe Biden says
It is a ruse to get even more muslims into Europe, the UN are doing this not me or Barry.
Jeff Bargholz says
Only if he had a pair of balls, which he doesn’t.
Tionico says
well, that’s o surprise at all, considering that the kinyun seems to be the marionette stringpuller for the empty suit knocking about in DeeCee.
Alex MacColl says
If the Biden Admin actually believed any one was starving, the Israeli Port of Ashdod and others would be better and faster…with the help of Israel. It would appear to me that the Bdn Admn wants to cut Israel out of it.
The U.S. may no longer be a reliable ally to anyone, least of all its’ own people or its’ own interests.
Awkward, is the nicest thing I can possibly say. All the rest I might say is not decent. There are not enough curse words.
Tionico says
time to invent some new ones?
SPURWING PLOVER says
Bridge on the River Kawi make POW,s build Bridge for coming Troop Train them when the Train Crosses blow up the Bridge destroy the Train and Kil all those enemy troops for they can kill your own countrymen
Algorithmic Analyst says
Thanks Spurwing, Bridge on the River Kwai was a great movie!
Tionico says
based in reality and, from what I saw, quite accurate. The film WAS very well done. too. Prolly one of the bet war movies done.
Jeff Bargholz says
“Bridge on the River Kwai” was a great movie. Strangely enough, I shouted out William Holden’s yell about Alec Guinness before he did. “Kill him!” It was a gut instinct and that character needed to be killed, although he redeemed himself before he died.
I shouted it out loud.
Joe Dozer says
I would assume that Israel will blow this so-called “port” to bits the minute Trump assumes the presidency!
Tionico says
Methinks The Donald will immediately order it closed and removed.
with strong apologies to Israel.
Leon Mintz says
Biden and his handlers do not remember Beirut.
Hamas will remind them.
Chaya says
Like I said, can’t this pier be blown up from the air with whatever foreign troops are on it? Once it serves to enhance terror or a “ state” of terror, it’s a target of war. Kaboom!
Tionico says
Oh I am certain that sort of activity is NOT off the table as far as the Isrealis are concerned.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Part of the Biden-Harris-Hamas strategy is to keep Israel entangled in a never-ending war with Hamas, so Hezbollah and others can join in and force Israel to fight on multiple fronts.
Steven Brizel says
This proposed pier is one of the worst decisions in American foreign policy ever
Jeff Bargholz says
It’s flee from Afghanistan bad.
trapper says
This is being done to appease the Palestinians In Michigan and elsewhere in the USA. The Dems are concerned about the Nov. election. Apparently they either think the Jewish vote is theirs regardless or they don’t care about the vote of American Jews.
PS It is astonishing that the sovereignty of Israel is apparently being violated. Does Biden have Israel’s permission to build on Israeli territory? Unlikely.
Jeff Bargholz says
According to Newsmax and Real America’s Voice, the majority of American Jews now support Trump and the Republican party, even in New York City. I don’t know if it’s true but it’s nice to think they may have pulled their heads out of their asses and are breathing fresh air. As bad as the RINOs are, the Dirtbagocrat party is the anti American party of evil, and has been since Bareback Hussein Osama was in office. Nobody with a conscience could support those scum and it always perplexes me when people vote against their best interests.
Tionico says
every nation considers the adjacent waters to their territory as part of their territory. Most nations consider three miles out theirs, and some twelve. Russia, if memory serves aright, held fifty miles.
Jeff Bargholz says
The good news is that Israel will probably destroy the terrorist pier and that all of its infested Gaza Strip has been cleared of jihadi terrorists all the way to it’s Southernmost region of Jaha, or jackoff, or whatever the stupid dune coons call it.
Buh bye, bitches. Call Alzheimer Joe and see how much help that gets you. He’s as impotent as Hamas. Tiny dicks don’t work in the real world.
Jeff Bargholz says
Whoever down voted me sucks little dune coon dicks. And you smile when the flavor changes.
Intrepid says
Can anyone say D-Day 1944 and Mulberry Harbor. If a freak storm doesn’t destroy it, either the Israelis or the or The U.S. will. How dumb can the Bidens and the Democrats be?
Kasandra says
Very. They are guiding by their thoughts and narratives rather than reality.
Tionico says
sticj around, and we will ll find out. I don’t think we’ve seen he worst of it all yet. Desparate times call for desparate measures. They are staring UP the barrel of some very desparate times…. their Gravy Train seems to be heading tpward a deep canyon t top speed and the bridge was blown ten minutes ago desparate.
Steve Chavez says
LET’S RECALL THE GROUP “U.S. TO GAZA” which were the flotilla of ships trying to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza. This group was organized by LESLIE CAGAN AND JUDITH LEBLANC, members of the Communist Party USA Politburo. Also aiding, MEDEA BENJAMIN OF CODE PINK.
Recollection is that one ship was filled with armed combatants who then AMBUSHED THE IDF that tried to board it.
TWO OF THE LAST SHIPS were stuck in a Greece harbor since the government didn’t allow them to leave. Then Leblanc and Benjamin went to protest in Solidarity with the GREEK COMMUNIST PARTY in Athens.
Also, Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney was on one of the ships that never made it to Gaza.
AGAIN, the President of the Islamic Center of NM, Ahmad Assed, organized a protest in SUPPORT OF HAMAS about ten years ago at UNM. He was also the unofficial advisor to the Muslim Student Association. No one there was protesting for PALESTINIANS BUT FOR HAMAS, A U.S. DESIGNATED TERRORIST GROUP!
Assed was a UNM student in the ’80s along with JOSEPH MASSAD, PROF AT COLUMBIA, and on several lists of the Most Radical Profs written by DAVID HOROWITZ. After Oct. 7, a petition of over 40,000 signatures demanded Massad be fired… yea right!
WERE THEY AIDING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, A TERRORIST GROUP?
mj says
In 2005 George Bush successfully pressures prime minister
Ariel Sharon to ‘willingly’ and ‘unilaterally’ sublet Gaza, part of the eternal homeland of the nation of Israel, to Arab Muslims. It’s an exclusive sublease requiring the strange yudenrein expulsion of all Jews. This sublease is an ‘innovative plan for peace’.
So we have 1) the sublessees who are the Arab Muslims, 2) the sublessor, who is Israel, who also has an eternal lease with 3) the God of Israel, who is the eternal Owner and Landlord of the land of Israel.
On October 7th 2023, Israel declares the sublease with the Arab Muslims in Gaza null and void, the terms of the lease having been violated and abused with clear irrefutable evidence.
Israel declares the immediate end of the sublease to the entire world to bear witness. And it is understood that the Arab Muslim sublessees who want to live must vacate the premises so that Israel can clean out the evil in Gaza.
Enter the Biden Administration, who side with the sublessees and supersede God and God’s contract with Israel.
Harris says Netanyahu’s policy is personal, separate from the people.
Not so.
It is Obama’s policy towards Israel that is personal, and puts Americans in danger.
The American people have been barraged with lies to enable Obama to fulfill his goal of destroying Israel.
Biden, Harris, Blinken and myriads more say what they are told to say and when to say it.
In his SOTU, Biden was directed not to mention the anti-Semitism raging in America. But he did talk about a pier and two more months of protecting and fortifying Hamas and supporting Hamas property rights to the hostages.
World politics is against Israel. Maybe it is time for the American private sector,
the American businesses, that make America strong, to take a stand against the government and provide Israel with all that is necessary for total victory.
Yes, the administration’s policy is genocidal – genocidal towards Israel.
American businesses can block the building of that pier and a lot more.
Don’t wait for disaster to happen. Band together and reach out to Israel. It is your moral right and duty.
Tionico says
I think you are on he mark in every respect but one. You do not seem to have the history correct going back about two milennia. God gave that land to Israel as HIS people, for their dwelling place. IN return He requires certain things of them, which they not only failed to deliver, but they took up with the pagan nations round about them, particularly Rome. In other words, they reneged on their end of the leasehold agreement, or covenant. God sent warnings to them to repent and come back. They went further away from Him. He then sent His Son, but they did not like what He had to say and murdered him. Tha was the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back. God then raised up Rome’s armies and brought them to Jerusalem, whereupon they utterly nd totally destroyed Jerusalem and surrounds, including the Temple. No, sorry STARTING with the Temple, just as His Son had predicted.
For a few centuries that land was desolate. Abandoned. Fruitless. Wasteland.
SO Israel was faithless, broke her contract with God, He destroyed everyone and everything in Jerusalem and surrounds…. so tell me just when this new leasehold was negotiated and what are the terms this time around. I can find to information on that.
M.S. says
Gods covenant with Abraham (Aramaic Covenant) was and is unconditional, He will never break His promise or be finished with Israel. The Mosaic covenant was conditional from the beginning and does not negate or remove Gods original promise to Abraham and his descendants.
M.S. says
*Abrahamic Covenant….got to watch that autofill!
Hannah says
Read Ezekiel 36-37. It’s not “new”.
Scott R Feil says
Well developed analysis of motives. Even if the port is intended for long term civilian operation, its location and the inability of the Gazans to run anything strongly suggest that it will be temporary. Even if a competent contractor can be found to maintain the pier, it won’t last more than 12 months.
I think undermining Israel (Netanyahu) and placating domestic constituencies in an election year (the Squad and Michigan Muslim/Arabs in Dearborn area) are the real motivators.
Robert L. Kahlcke says
It won’t be there in one month.
Kasandra says
My worry is that it won’t be temporary. Anything brought in by it will go to Hamas and then be sold by Hamas for profit on the black market. Why on earth would he do this to help prop up Hamas? Cough – Dearborn – cough.
notebeat says
This ‘Trojan Pier’ is a direct threat to the national security of Israel.
This is nothing less than a mainline port into the most vile and murderous army of killers ever assembled in modern history. Biden is committing treason against any kind of stability or peace in the world anywhere!
But I wouldn’t count my ships until they have a place to port. Mossad is legendary in their reputation for their ceaseless defense of Israel. Also, a lot of these big sea projects tend to ‘Nord Stream’ themselves anyway. Just ask Biden.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
Biden’s woke navy forgot to lay down the red carpet for hamas.
Oh well, as long as he (Biden) frees up the latest $10billion gift for Iran they’re cool with diaperman.
Jeff Bargholz says
“Diaperman!”
Ha ha haw~! Only Pedo Joe the sniffer isn’t cute like that old cartoon character was. He’s just vile and obnoxious. And I hate his beady buzzard eyes and those STUPID aviator glasses. As if he could even drive a car, much less be top gun in a movie.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Yeah, that’s a good one 🙂
Tionico says
Inlike that term, but let me suggest a slight variation on the brown theme.
How about Nappieman? I think it has a nice ring to it.. it also puts me in mind of the season when this guy and all is henchmen were requireing I wear those vile and harmful mug nappies.
Rick says
Since O’Biden took office, I don’t believe a word coming from “my” government. Further, if anyone believes the only things entering Gaza via this floating pier are food and medical supplies, you are stupid! Iran will transport tons of war supplies by ship to Gaza since that’s cheaper than by truck or aircraft
JC Davis says
Day after it’s done Bebe should blow it back into the Med. Tell Jo & Chuckie S to pound sand.
Tionico says
don’t destroy it, simply seize it as contraband left behind in Israeli territory.
Robert L. Kahlcke says
The RABID ANIMALS will destroy this in a heartbeat.
Alkflaeda says
They’ll take the pier materials and use them to build tunnels.
Hannah says
Yup. Built by infidels. Pieces of pier will join the airdropped meals in the trash.
Kasandra says
“Vice President Kamala Harris attacked Israel, claiming that she had “seen reports of families eating leaves or animal feed.”” Hey, I’ve “seen reports” of people being abducted by flying saucers and being probed in their butts by extraterrestrials. . This is how serious people make policy – she’s heard propaganda reports of starvation? What, we don’t have an intelligence community? What a vacuous person. No, make that what a vacuous administration.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Yeah, instead of denying UFO reports, they were used to coverup our advances in aerial technology 🙂
Jeff Bargholz says
You have to wonder about those butt probes. What were the aliens looking for? I mean, what are you going to see up there?
David Elstrom says
Prez Send Money Now c/o The Bug Guy and his regime are demonstrating the depths of their intense depravity and limitless America hatred—guaranteeing American military deaths and building a military resupply facility for one of the world’s enemies of decent people. These unimaginably vile leftists are American only in the narrowest sense of geographic location.
RS says
So true. Biden wants to give Hamas the edge. They are even trying to oust Bibi again just like the Obama years of the “Anyone but Bibi campaign. Its illegal for nations to interfere in other nation’s elections. Just as Psalm 83 refers to Israel’s enemies saying “Come, let us cut them off as a nation.” These things are predicted with accuracy in the bible…The predicted day of wrath is also predicted for Israel’s enemies.
Ezekiel 36:8 said Israel shall yield fruit, and they turned a barren desert into a blooming, agricultural, thriving nation.
The Glory of God fulfills his promises: (Against All Odds.)
RS says
Absolutely. Same policy.
Alkflaeda says
Wondering if a promise was given to Hamas that if they attacked in time to distract everyone from such matters as the US economy, they would be well-looked after.
Tionico says
Many reports I have seen have the IDF finding literally tonnes of food stashed away in the tunnels they have been “inspecting”. tonnes of food, while the folks on he street are aledgedly starving.. in other words there IS no food shortage in Gaza. more likely is the king and queen pins are eating high on the hog whilst the commoners and riff raff (in their eyes) are near starving because THEY have taken control of the food that has been coming in for a long time.
Best plan is to simply take the masses of food being discovered and feed THAT to the locals.
George says
The best plan and the only solution is to bus ALL the Gaza Arabs to Egypt, Arabia and Jordan.
Onzeur Trante says
I read somewhere that the bridge will take two months to complete. If people are “dying of starvation” now they will surely be dead by the time the bridge is completed. This Biden ploy has nothing to do with humanitarian aid and everything to do with the politics of his “re-election.”
George says
I bet you just love the smell of Jewish babies baking in the oven in the morning, like your brothers the Gazan Arabs do.
david holmes says
You report, “Israel certainly has ports, so the issue then is port denial.” But the issue here is Gaza and its sea access or lack thereof. I don’t want the US building a port there, Hamas could get many others to do that. But your inclusion of Israeli capacities when discussing Gaza seems non-responsive.
Intrepid says
It should be called the Trojan Horse Pier.
