Construction of the corridor will take about 60 days, but once in place, it should be able to provide about two million meals a day, the Pentagon says.

    That’s if Israel lets them last that long. These people can’t go 60 days without more support. Keep pushing people, we need to do more.

    So, reminder: there are trucks ready to rock that can deliver supplies. They’re waiting just across the border but are stopped by IDF inspectors (making sure there is no weapons, or fuel, or anything “objectionable”… just food and medical.) and by Israeli far right extremists protesting.

      And the same requirements and inspections would be put in place on a port.

      People are suffering. Providing aid should be done aggressively, with force if necessary.

    The US in 1944 built artificial harbors in one week in stormy weather while under enemy fire.

    So, the plan is that the IDF will manage the beach side of the operation. These are the same people preventing aid coming through by road right now

    It’s becoming clear that this aid-by-port charade is really just a means of delaying, and subsequently withholding, food and aid.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
