It's the first of the month so I want to take a moment to repost the Animal Friends Shelter of Gaza GoFundMe page, they're so close to meeting their goal and I'm trying to spread it around as much as possible so they can evacuate their children before Rafah is invaded: https://gofund.me/276d2916

More pier news: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68927001 Big items in there, the Brits are getting involved and providing a ship for quarters for workers. Tuesday (yesterday) they said it be done in a week. CentCom released an image of a top lift moving pointing around on deck of one of PREPOs. https://www.centcom.mil/MEDIA/IMAGERY/igphoto/2003452754/ Also in the BBC article relevant to discussions. 20 tons per lorry (which is fully loaded not half loaded trailers) and two million meals a day. IDF is preparing a staging area on the land side that’s fairly large. Pier deployment cost is about 1/3 of a billion dollars Edit : and that it will be about two million meals a day is reported

Labels don’t make it better or worse. It’s not a magic incantation. Words exist to convey meaning and they mean whatever we agree to. In this thread the consensus is that genocide describes what Israel is doing so we should just go with that instead of getting sidetracked to pointless arguments over dictionary definitions.

Vorenus posted:They're talking about US soldiers defending themselves against any theoretical attack by Hamas. Genuine question, I know that that incident has absolutely been coopted by anti-semites in the past but why do you think it is inherently anti-semetic to mention? It seems an incident in which US forces that could be perceived to be acting contrary to the interests of the Israeli state were attacked by the Israeli state would be pertinent in the current circumstances.

Israel won't physically destroy the pier; I'm saying they don't need to bother. They can throttle it the same as any other crossing. If they couldn't, it would go the way of the hospitals. I was thinking about the quoted "Western soldiers defending it against Hamas" scenarios, realized they're in more danger from Israel, and then discounted that for the above.

The article mawarannahr quoted above includes a quotation from Hamas that implicitly threatens to attack whoever is manning the pier, and provides their reasoning for doing so:quote:Al-Hayya also implicitly threatened that Hamas would attack Israeli or other forces who might be stationed around a floating pier the US is scrambling to build along Gaza’s coastline to deliver aid by sea.

It’s a fundamental, but sadly common, mistake of analysis to suggest that Hamas and the Israeli government are somehow opposed. The point of divergence in what they want is at least a decade in the future. Until then, they are strategic allies of necessity. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
