Did anyone actually think that this pier would be enough to cover all aid needs? Everyone on Lemmy seemed to get that this was a bandaid, at best, since well before the project was launched.
As an American, this is still crap. Assange is a hero as is Snowden and others that had the moral backbone to stand up to the post 9/11 monster insistent on proving bin Laden won against any remaining visage of freedom and democracy in the USA. We live in his dystopian dream of crumbling failure now, and insist on persecuting those that show how and what we lost.
I remember comments on Lemmy comparing the capacity of the bridge with the need of the population and predicting that it was going to be severely inadequate. And here we are.
Awesome. Definitely logical and not at all intended to enhance suffering.
Other articles that Israel has denied include “dates, sleeping bags, medicines to treat cancer, water purification tablets and maternity kits”, according to the report. Dates could be a lifeline to a starving a population, but they were blocked from entering Gaza because, sources told CNN, the seeds made dates look suspicious in X-ray inspection images. Sleeping bags were denied “because they were the color green”, a humanitarian official told CNN, “and green means military and according to the 2008 list, military is dual use”. What began as a deliberate policy to bring Gaza’s economy grinding to a standstill is now being used to bring its civilian population to its knees.
This is disappointing but not surprising and has been happening for a long time. Please do your research and never donate from a random phone call, letter, or “round up for charity” ask at a register.
