Nah. Trump wouldn't even pretend to do anything philanthropic.

 

As for what his attitude to Gaza would be, you only have to look at his actions as president regarding Israel/Palestine to see what it would be.

I'd like to bet that 90% of the weapons in the East, right now, either originated in the USA or Britain.

Israel have a significant arms industry which also exports to other countries

Who supplies Hamas ,, Are those that do helping to build a Port so as aid can get in . Why are America being singled out ,while those that arm and support terrorists are ignored .

Slice it how you like but the current situation in Gaza is controlled by Israel as has been the case for years.

Not only the interception of aid from the outside but by cutting off essential supplies of water ,power and sewage systems.

Even the US which has always supported Israel financially and in terms of technology has so far failed to break the embargoes imposed by Netanyahu.

Any shipments from outside Gaza will still have to go through the same embargoes

While Israel buys almost all of it's air force from Uncle Sam, the majority of the ground forces are home developed, those that are bought in are modified for use in Israel.

The tanks for example are all home grown, the standard issue rifle for ground forces is Israel's own as well.

Because America is a hypocrite, the USA could stop supplying arms to Israel but instead it’s giving weapons with one hand that are killing Palestinians and with the other it is dropping aid in  too pull the wool over peoples eyes.

Im sorry but this is just an election gimmick..

Jonathan Cook isn't an author I'd view uncritically, but his take of this seems pretty reasonable

Biden’s pier for Gaza is a hollow gesture that will change almost nothing
8 March 2024
The US President and the Democratic party are betting voters are dumb enough to fall for this charade.

Please don’t prove them right.

It will take many weeks for the US to build this pier off-shore and get it up and running.

Why the delay? Because every western capital, including the United States, has supported the blockade for the past 17 years.

Biden could get aid into Gaza much faster than by building a pier, if he wanted to.

He could simply insist that Israel let aid trucks through the land crossings, and threaten it with serious repercussions should it fail to comply.

He could threaten to withhold the US bombs he is sending to kill more children in Gaza.

Or he could threaten to cut off the billions in military aid Washington sends to Israel every year.

Or he could threaten to refuse to cast a US veto to protect Israel from diplomatic fallout at the United Nations.

He could do any of that and more, but he chooses not to.

 

Also on Twitter here if you have an account

There's two RFA ships there, which were capable of delivering aid directly, but they've had to drop it off in Egypt for some reason

Good points,  very well made.

The USA is not fooling anyone.

Just seen on the news that the proposed port in Gaza would take a minimum of 60 days to get up and running!!

What an absolute disgrace!!

if the war carries on into Ramadan then I’m sure others will be getting involved in the war..,

Why would the war carrying on into Ramadan be particularly significant?

I need to pop out for something so think this article can explain it=

There is a risk that it could end up turning into a regional war and continuing during Ramadan May be the straw that breaks the camels back so to speak…

Israel has already took the **** bombing most of the mosques in Gaza already…
