So if the Israelis block the aid their weapons packages should also be blocked, right? Not that the US should’ve given them in the first place, but if they’re not gonna let humanitarian aid in, then I guess we should just give the bombs to Palestine

That’s who Israel wants to give them to already.

Lets repeat this a few hundred more times. A clock and a gold fish are going to have a better trading records than you can ever hope for.

Any country the US sets up a pier near, will have no choice but to deal with the local government. In no universe, will that not be the case.

If not, that pier is Israeli territory! They can land troops there and just say, Thank you!. And there is not much the US could do.

So cooperation with Israel is key to making this precedent work. Might be quite the show watching the US try to do humble

You’re drunk right? You do realize all of Israel’s Conor McGregor-esque arm swinging is due to US support, right?

"There is not much the US could do." ... I can think of several things the US could easily do that would screw over the Israeli military quickly enough. You can too, so I'm confused why you wrote this.
