What if they’re “mistakenly” attacked by Israel?

[-] Amoxtli@thelemmy.club 16 points 6 months ago

That is a real possibility.

[-] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 27 points 6 months ago

In light of recent events, it’s a probability.

[-] whostosay@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

This is the plan.

It's infinitely more likely thats what happens

A spokesperson revealed today, the USS Maine could return fire, if fired upon by Spain

Why not make a rule for if they get attacked by unicorns while they're at it. There are IDF posts on both sides of the pier.

That seems like a pretty standard UoF continuum for that kind of mission.

Not in Bosnia in the 90s. US troops would take accurate inbound fire, have a clear visual on the shooter, and we’re not cleared to engage.

Does Gaza even want that "aid pier"?

[-] livus@kbin.social 10 points 6 months ago

Gaza wants aid. Famine is setting in. But this is mostly theatre.

Road crossings could deliver a lot more aid a lot faster. The US plan for this pier is to gradually ramp up to 150 truckloads a day. For reference Gaza needed 200 truckloads a day in peacetime. That was back when people could still work, before all the housing and infrastructure got destroyed.

The aid pier has Israeli positions on both sides of the port meaning it can be subject to the same IDF chokeholds as the road crossings.
