Biden’s Edsel…the food pier that can’t deliver food

When President Biden proposed at his March 7 State of the Union address to build a pier to deliver food to 2,300,000 starving Palestinians in Gaza, gullible Americans gushed ‘He cares.’

No he doesn't. What Biden should have said at SOTU was that he was ending all death weapons he furnishes Israel till they withdraw from Gaza, end their cruel, murderous blockade, and begin serious negotiations for a Palestinian state.

It took 70 days to build a functioning pier during which time hunger at starvation levels escalated dramatically. But at best, the pier could only provide a pittance of the nourishment needed to sustain starving Palestinians.

Yesterday US food deliveries to Palestinians went to zero. Several pier sections were damaged requiring repair before meager food supplies can again reach Gaza. A few days earlier, 4 vessels supporting the pier broke off in heavy seas. Turns out the pier can only be operated safely in a maximum of 3 foot wave and 15 MPH winds.

Previously, 3 US troops were injured operating the pier, also likely from rough seas.

Why doesn’t President Biden demand Israel simply open up the border crossings they close to starve out those pesky Palestinians? Like his refusal to stop sending death weapons for Israel to blow Palestinians to bits, Biden does nothing to prevent Israel from completing their acquiring Gaza free of Palestinians.

Like his failed food pier, Biden’s entire foreign policy in the Middle East is an Edsel. It may turn out to be the car in which Biden drives away from the White House next January 20 after losing reelection due to his flirtation with genocide.
