None of the aid that has been unloaded from the temporary pier the US constructed off the coast of Gaza has been delivered to the broader Palestinian population, as the US works with the UN and Israel to identify safe delivery routes inside the enclave, the Pentagon said on Tuesday.
Did you read the article? It’s neither the US nor Israel. It’s “a group of men in Gaza.”
Over the weekend, as trucks began moving the aid delivered off the floating pier, CNN reported that a group of men in Gaza intercepted the aid, saying they did not trust that it was actually meant for the Palestinian people.
“I have doubts,” Mounir Ayad, a Gaza resident, told CNN near the pier. “I don’t understand this floating pier or what it indicates and what its purpose is. They say it’s for aid, but people are apprehensive. Is this aid or something else? We know that the US has never supported the Palestinian cause, so it’s implausible that it’s giving us aid without something in return.”
Ryder acknowledged on Tuesday that some initial aid brought into Gaza was “intercepted by some people who took that aid off those vehicles.”
Edit: Downvoted for copying and pasting the article shows your preference in maintaining a narrative over understanding the facts. There’s enough wrong about what’s happening without willful ignorance or manipulation of truth.
Clearly complex nuanced issues aren’t you’re forte. But when evaluating media it’s important to remember who benefits from their bias. When people brag about doing things that aren’t actually the brag they think it is, they probably aren’t lying.
Am behaving like a numbnut on purpose. It’s the same excuse that has been thrown my way on Lemmy when there was something which didn’t fit other people’s narrative. But my sarcasm wasn’t as obvious. Sorry about that.
No way! Wholesome Hamas would never.
Did you even read the article? Hamas is mentioned exactly zero times wrt to the aid. This is all the US and Israel’s doing.

This is Lemmy. Facts are not important.
Also this means US and UN are not withholding aid to Gaza!
There, you see. UN is starving Palestinians on purpose.
This isn’t an UN operation, it’s a US/Israel joint operation and was in fact Bibi’s idea. UNRWA is a UN operation.

But I’ve been told here we can’t trust JPost or Ynet.
