Pictures: U.S. Army Vessels Beached as Heavy Seas Hit Gaza Aid Deliveries

SIMON KENT

Heavy seas tore four U.S. Army vessels from their moorings Saturday while they were trying to assist humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza.

Two vessels are beached along Israel’s coast near Ashkelon while the other two are anchored on the beach near the temporary pier built and put in place by the U.S. military, U.S.Central Command announced.

No U.S. personnel were injured by the stormy seas, CENTCOM said, while Israel Defense Forces are assisting in recovering the vessels, and the pier remains fully functional.

The disruption is one of many affecting operations at the temporary pier, whose deployment was delayed until last week due to stormy seas and other causes.

The temporary structure, announced by President Joe Biden in his State of the Union address, was completed last week, and the Pentagon said some 569 metric tons of aid had been brought ashore thus far.

However, the Pentagon is unable to say how much, if any, of that aid has actually reached the organizations that are supposed to distribute it, as reports have emerged of Palestinians simply seizing aid from the back of delivery trucks, as Breitbart News reported.

Reuters reported “there has been no aid delivered to a U.N. warehouse from a U.S.-built pier for two days.”

Breitbart

The Times of Israel is reporting an American vessel used to unload humanitarian aid from ships to the Gaza Strip via a floating pier disconnected from a small boat tugging it this morning due to stormy seas, causing it to run aground on the coast of Ashdod just North of Gaza.

A second US Army vessel also ran aground attempting a rescue. American troops can be seen standing helplessly on the beach. Hat tip to Anonymous for the head’s up.

“Never underestimate Joe’s ability to f*ck things up.” BHO

Now, granted…Joe hisself is not there but…he is the idiot that decided the Good Idea Fairy could make this work. Been following this story for a few days and among other FUBARs, the mission is over budget, the stuff ain’t getting to where it “needs” to be (shocked about that!…shocked I tell you!), no real plan on how to move forward, and what should have been a routine training exercise for properly trained troops is a cluster f*ck snafu. Bet if the mission was to be getting joe his ice cream and depends delivered on time, that would be “Mission Accomplished!”

Instead of a Mulberry, let’s give a big raspberry.

Obviously this latest SNAFU was caused by not enough Diversity Equity and Inclusion training. Why aren’t the Pro Hamas demonstrators on American college campuses on the front lines to assist the “victims of genocide”?

Leftist a-holes Orinceton students disrupy Memorial Day parade to chant “Free Palestine!” and support Hamass:

Aid that doesn’t make it to the UN warehouse is because it was hijacked by Hamas, which is selling the stolen food to raise money.

All we can say is that the UN has taught them a lesson. What that lesson is precisely, well here you go….

Same ol’ stuff, different day…

Those 5 star hotels in Qatar ain’t free, you know. Has anyone checked to see if The Clinton Global Initiative is getting a cut of the “humanitarian aid”?

ANCRN

Yep. Wasted effort.

The Big Guy is not getting his 10% from Hamas, so he said let t it float away. Despite all the Palestinian coverage 24/7, this is memory holed/radio silence. Its been a cluster fuck from the beginning just like the Afghanistan withdrawal because everything Biden touches turns to shit.

“ American troops can be seen standing helplessly on the beach.”
But… no American boots on the ground. I suppose they’re wearing sandals.

The world laughs and Israel snickers. FJB.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the purpose of a “landing craft to LAND on a beach??

I’m watching Indy and the bumper music played as the broadcast went to *another* commercial was a Hüsker Dü track from the album Warehouse Songs and Stories.

That reminded me of another song from that album, a Grant Hart number, which made me think of the pier….

A while back the media interviewed a gentleman from some African nation and he told that the world should stop sending aid to the continent. His reason was that the aid always ended up in corrupt government hands and they would use it themselves or sell it on the black market for profit.

Isn’t Hamas the government of Gaza.

Hack Stone

What are you talking about? Ever since Live Aid, everything has been aces in Africa. Food for everyone, and peace throughout the continent.

Hack Stone recalls back in the 1980’s, when Newsweek actually wrote news, some guy from Africa said the same exact thing. We send food, the warlords steal, sell it to the starving people at inflated prices, use that money to buy more weapons, which they use to steal more humanitarian aid. 40 years later and it never stops.
