How about this: rather than go to all the effort of building a pier to deliver aid, why not demand that our “ally” do what we all know to be the humanitarian approach and just let it through by normal means.
Did they stop with air drops? Because at least those were reaching the area instead of being confiscated by the IDF.
The ones they dropped into the ocean causing people to drown trying to retrieve them or the ones they dropped on top of crowds of people, crushing them?

This reduces demand. Sounds fine to me.

This increases supply. I think you’re not looking at this from a capitalist perspective: increased supply, decreased demand? The US is just improving access to food!
The fact that Israel suggested the pier to begin with should have tipped everyone off. The lack of aid getting into Gaza is not due to a logistical problem, you can’t solve it through haphazardly slapped together shipping infrastructure. Especially when that infrastructure already existed; does anyone think Gaza didn’t already have a suitable pier? Even if they didn’t there’s tons of aid sitting at the southern border behind lines of Israeli settlers protesting it.
