      That suspiciously sounds just like what Robert "Bobby" Camembert IV of the Tom&Jerry Think Tank said.

      I've made myself a little sad. I want there to be an tongue-in-cheek indie band called Camembert IV.

    Why would they airstrike their own platform? The port will be used as an American military foothold in Gaza to begin colonization from the sea while Israel splits Gaza in half with the East-West road they constructed. These are all bites being taken out of Gaza as it gets split smaller and smaller. The American port idea is just another way to invade

      It's 100% this. It's a shameless way to get boots on the ground

      I don't think it would have mattered much.

      "Mr. Israel, sir - we humbly ask that you do not bomb our port."

      "In the interest of national security the Nation of Israel we will do whatever it needs to. Also and sincerely 'fuck you' for even wasting our time with this shit."

      "We beg your forgiveness."

      "This better not happen again."

    No way - this port will be the only route Palestinians will be able to escape the Rafah ground invasion. Israel will wait for it to be completed, then invade. The US will send humanitarian ships and start an evacuation route. Egypt isn't helping Israel empty out Gaza, so the us has stepped in. Where will the refugees go? Who knows!

    Nah, they will integrate it with their new road and whatever else they put in to annex the territory.

    A few days? Nah, the moment there are enough starving Palestinians there to get the scraps being given to them.

    And sure they might hit a couple US troops too, but that doesn't really matter.

    That's what I call answering a yes or no question in good faith, by just talking about something at best tangentially related without saying yes or no
