It's so fucking wild to me that we need to resort to completely ineffective shit like floating docks when the reason we can't send trucks by land is that our own ally doesn't allow it, and our governments refuse to hold them accountable. Such a fucking dystopian situation.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I've said this in other threads but I am betting (based of no true evidence) that Israel is finger-over-trigger ready to nuke Iran, and is manipulating the west to allow them to fuck around in Gaza
Our own little north Korea 😞
Why did the french even help them get nukes in the first place?
Sure floating piers are cool, but couldn't we just, you know, force Israel to open up air. Or better yet stop the fucking slaughter.
Netanyahu's time outside of prison depends on him continuing to wage the war (unrelated to war crimes, I think he is getting prosecuted for corruption) so he won't ever stip. We could embargo their economy instead though. Or drop a division of special forces into Rafa to provide humanitarian aid, Israel is not gonna bomb US troops.
At this point, I'm not even sure they won't bomb US troops if they were in Gaza, and I am pretty sure the US government wouldn't hold them responsible if they did.
They absolutely would bomb US troops, they've done it before. The Zionistas are self serving, anything that doesn't serve them is Hamas.
"Sorry we can't/won't stop arming the people who are creating the need for aid. But to make it up to you, here's billions in aid spending."
So so so stupid.
Gosh, I want the government to be a bunch of petty shits and publicly send Netanyahu invoices for the construction cost and fuel usage.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Trucks carrying humanitarian aid began moving ashore into Gaza Friday using a temporary pier built by the United States, delivering desperately needed supplies to the besieged Palestinian enclave.
The floating dock is part of a makeshift effort to stave off a possible famine in Gaza, where Israel’s military assault has shut off a number of crossings that are crucial for supplies of food, fuel and other aid.
Israeli forces pressed on with sweeping operations against Hamas in the north and south of the enclave, while the country's lawyers defended its ground offensive in Rafah at the United Nations' top court.
Israel defended its operations in Rafah, saying they were presently "limited," at the International Court of Justice Friday, in a case brought against South Africa accusing the country of genocide over its Gaza offensive.
Palestinian American doctor Adam Hamawy said aid of all kinds is urgently needed in Rafah, where he has been volunteering at one of the last functioning hospitals in the city amid increasingly worrying circumstances.
Israel has laid blame for delays reopening the Rafah crossing on Egypt, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu telling CNBC's Sara Eisen in an interview on Wednesday, "we want to see it open."
The original article contains 878 words, the summary contains 201 words. Saved 77%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
This is really really good, I hope it can get enough in
48 hours from now: "according to Israel officials, Hamas was ferrying more hostages in via the port and it was destroyed while taking care of the suspected member"
