Pentagon official announces ceasing of Gaza pier operations, US taxpayers duped | Janta Ka Reporter
The US on Friday sensationally announced that the Gaza pier built at a staggering cost of $320 million will soon cease to operate. The pier was in the news last month after reports emerged that the US troops had used this to help Israelis in rescuing hostages. More than 400 innocent Palestinians were killed in the process.
The pier was 'operational' for a total of 20 days, delivering about as much aid as went into Gaza per day pre-war Gaza.

About 8,500 tons of aid has been delivered to the pier via Cyprus, a Cypriot source said, roughly the equivalent of 425 aid trucks.
That's $37,647 per ton, more than double the cost of air drops (16K per ton) Total fail.
Versus about $180 per ton on average to move food aid by truck. 320 million dollars could have moved 89 thousand fully loaded trucks.

“I’m Bored, So I Shoot”: How Israeli Troops Are Authorized to Shoot Palestinians Virtually at Will
We speak with reporter Oren Ziv of +972 Magazine, whose latest investigation details how Israeli forces in Gaza have been authorized to open fire on Palestinians virtually at will.
Six soldiers who fought in Gaza describe a near-total absence of firing regulations, with soldiers shooting as they please, setting homes ablaze, leaving corpses to rot on the streets and more.
“It seems soldiers were shooting not from a tactical reason or a real military reason, but just out of being bored, to pass the time or just because they could,” says Ziv. “Soldiers felt they can do whatever they want, that they won’t be accountable. And all this is done also with the awareness of the commanders.”
We also hear from Yuval Green, one of the reservists who spoke to Ziv and who now refuses to continue serving in the Israeli military. “I believe that continuing this war and continuing the death of Palestinians and Israeli soldiers is not right. I believe that right now the right thing to do is to sign the ceasefire treaty that is going to release the hostages and end this war,” Green says.
