    The UN officials aren’t saying any of those things. Here’s a tldr of the issue

    • The platform is meant to be in Northern Gaza where the worst of the starvation is

    • Israel wants it to be moved south to an Israeli choke point

    • Israel is about to close the crossings in South Gaza so it can attack Rafah

    • If the tiny amount of aid that can come in is able to be diverted to South Gaza then Israel may face less international condemnation over this phase of the Gaza genocide.

    Please help me understand why delivering food and medicine to Gaza is bad.

    If there is a starving child and you can choose to deliver them the nutrients they need but instead you choose to give them half a peanut instead, in a really theatrical way, that’s obviously bad right?

    That’s what’s happening here.

      At no point was a pier planned for north Gaza, the first place to be evacuated, six months ago.

      Israel will be inspecting every delivery since Hamas has proved again and again that if it takes part in international commerce, it will be in the business of killing Jews. That’s why they didn’t have their own port to begin with. It’s not a choke point, it’s a highway interchange. That’s generally where you want to build the port. It’s literally the opposite of a choke point.

      Egypt is in charge of the southern border crossing not Israel. Egypt doesn’t want terrorists moving weapons and fighters over its border, either.

        We are all familiar with the genocidaires’ explanations/pretexts for why they are blockading humanitarian aid, thanks, you don’t need to rehash them here.

        Egypt doesn’t want terrorists

        More to the point Egypt doesn’t want to give Israel a pretext for constant drone strikes in Egyptian territory now that every Palestinian refugee child is supposedly “Hamas”.

        But either side can close a border, that’s intrinsic to borders.
