"The U.S. military has failed to re-anchor its humanitarian pier to Gaza, the Pentagon said Thursday, and soon will “cease operations” on an aid-delivery mission plagued by setbacks from almost the moment President Biden announced it four months ago.
Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder, a spokesman, said in a statement that U.S. troops tried to reconnect the floating structure to Gaza’s shoreline Wednesday but were unable to do so because of “technical and weather-related issues.” The pier and its support vessels were taken back to the Israeli port of Ashdod, where they had sheltered amid the latest spell of rough waves to sideline the project, and will remain there until further notice, Ryder said."

The Pier was sick joke in the first place, as was Biden's concern.
230 MILLION OF OUR TAX DOLLARS WASTED!
What about the 15,000 hostages in Israeli prisons (hundreds of them children) who are tortured and raped?
Yeah. Those aren't hostages brotha no matter what kind of BS semantic games you want to play
What a tragically ironic metaphor for Biden’s frailty and inability to mitigate this situation at all…
300 million dollars down the drain!! The US is gone
The "pier" is a colossal failure and a giant embarrassment.
Just like the man who ordered the pier be built. Joe Biden.
The pier was a cover up. More special forces were moved using that pier than Aid!
Yet other Zionist apologist on this show, must be one of Bens mates.
What a colossal waste of tax payer money. If only Israel were our “ally” and would just let us in to give humanitarian aid 🙄🇵🇸🍉
Providing aid to terrorists and terrorists in training is a fools errand. Palastinian's brought this war on themselves when they attacked Israel in October.
@@stevestoll3124 Hamas and Palestine are not the same thing. You think the deceased 16,000 children and injured 12,000 children and thousands more missing and orphaned children “brought this on themselves”? How very Old Testament of you.
We created the UN for a reason. There are clear rules of war. 191 out of 193 member nations have voted for a ceasefire due to war crimes and crimes against humanity and vast human rights abuses. The only 2 hold out countries are the US and Israel.
We created the UN to avoid exactly what is happening in Gaza right now.
@@audradaniels4161 don't even waste your time with an idiot who would type that bullshit. he's just showing us how twisted Zionist supporters are.
@@audradaniels4161
What if there were baby hitlers, baby putins, or bin ladens in the mix?
@@georgeglass3680 is your argument that we shouldn’t feel bad about 16,000 deceased children because some of them might grow up to be terrorists? Maybe they’ll grow up to be scientists, artists, humanitarians. How is it okay to erase a persons entire existence because of who they MIGHT become. It’s so archaic and barbaric
Huge waste of time and resources when Israel an ' ally' of the USA and NATO should just have provided the aid. What a joke
So, it was a fake attempt... And it costs more money than a real solution?
How was it a fake attempt? They literally delivered 20 million pounds of aid. It was a hare brained plan but a plan nonetheless. (Conservative Trump Voter…at the moment)
A quarter of a billion dollars wasted for Biden's pantomime.
Doesn't compare to the billions Trump gave to the Taliban in that Withdraw deal he signed with Pompeo
More wasted taxpayer money. Great job, Biden.
The U.S. having to ask for permission to bring aid trucks through Israel is like a parent having to ask for permission to enter their kids' room. If I'm the one paying for this shit, I'm coming and going as I please.
Then blaming the.child
Now if we’d just close our wallets to Israel…
Haha!! Yep!
There is no way that pair cost 230 million!
Closed. What a shock. Dumbest idea ever
Our tax dollars at work.
@@jimbob3030 imagine if all that money went into shit I don't know ..free healthcare for American citizens ....or free elections something worth while.
@@Andrew-tf8jt I used to think universal healthcare should be our number one goal, but now I think it needs to be teaching critical thinking and some level of understanding of politics in schools.
@@Andrew-tf8jt none of those things are worthwhile, just more money wasted by americans who don't deserve it.
Pro 🇮🇱 here
We also thought the pier was dumb and made no sense
Reminds me of Obama's failed "cash for clunkers".
Palestinians need a state recognized by the UN - WITHOUT US VETO
(Peace is not a problem without a US veto)
It was a bad idea to begin with!
Big waste of money
That was a mess from the beginning. Installed a system that doesn't work in rough water for it to bust apart. Then the aid that was delivered didn't make it to the people it was given to begin with, knowingly.
Please does not spread hate, bigotry, anti-Semitism and misinformation. Please does not. We is not need ignorance and misinformation on TYT.
@@jawant6039Where is antisemitism in his comment? He described the pier.
@@Use_Ody-See-78149 Please does not.
@@jawant6039 I'm sorry you can't handle factual information.
ANOTHER WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONEY!
230 million down the drain.
Symbolism over actual function.
It was probably never meant to deliver humanitarian aid. It was most just used once as a landing spot for the helicopter from which Israeli forces (with the help of u.s. intelligence) freed 4 hostages, but actually started (under the cover of a humanitarian aid truck) their killing spree that cost the lives of 274 Gazans, plus at least 3 of their own kidnapped people.
Who on earth could have predicted a pier would need to content with a stormy sea...
What the hell has happened to America? You guys have fallen off a cliff.
We’re soooooo lost 💔
We just need to spend money for nothing
Actually nearly twice the radius is a massive area increase. You guys need math skills.
The only purpose of that pier is so that they can say "we tried everything, sadly the only option left is that all Gazans will have to leave" and not have it be too obvious that that's what they wanted all along.
250 million could have paid for USA citizens healthcare
no it couldnt and that money is nothing compared to what we give Israel each year, billions and billions, get a clue
Shocking that Israel has free health care when the USA doesn't. The best health care system AIPAC can buy for Israel .
@@zazita7333... don't forget the abortions we pay for also
A million dollars per pound of food delivered. What a clown show.
A show of hands who knew that the pier was a waste of taxpayer $$$$!!!!👌👏😆
The pier didn't solve the fundamental issues, of that the president could make them allow aid through. The pier didn't address that fundamental issue.
I wonder how many homeless Americans you can feed & clothe & house for 230 million 🤔
Have so many right now you can't even count but the illegals immigrants having free health insurance and room and board and food right now 😅
Homelessness in this so-called rich Nation of our, is a DOMESTIC CRIME OF EVERY ADMINISTRATION WHO HAS TURNED A BLIND EYE TO THEIR BLIGHT! IS IT BECAUSE THE HOMELESS CANNOT VOT, DUE TO NOT HAVING A PERMANENT ADDRESS?!! NO IT IS BENEATH POLITICANS TO CONSIDER GETTING DIRTY TO EVEN LOOK THEM IN THE EYE! ALL MEN CREATED EQUAL??? NOT IN THIS COUNTRY! PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS? NO AGAIN! The HOMELESS ARE THOUGHT OF AS A THREAT TO PEOPLE"S THINKINKING PROCESSES OF SELFFISHNESS!
Who's surprised 😐
What a joke, there’s 15 million tons of rubble laying around that could have been used !
$300m, 8000 tons... That's $37000 per pallet (ton). About the same cost as ton of silver!
The spot price for silver I’m seeing is $990 per kilo, or $898,113.15 per U.S. ton. That’s about 24 times your estimate.
@@philliphessel6788if he can get a ton of silver for 37k, then I'll buy 5 tons from him. I'm gonna flip the hell outta it lol.
Only Joe could piss away lots of money like this
It's not needed, there are easier ways to deliver humanitarian aid
Israel wants to starve the Palestinians. If they didn’t, aid would flow.
If “Build Back Better” was a pier 😂
the US and NATO air lifted food and materials to nazis and japanese citizens after both wars, it could easily be done and protected by NATO troops against HAMMAS attacks
Lol, waste of money.
Such a waste of money
Good as Palestinians we never wanted this pier to begin with it has nothing to do with aid at all.
wow who wouldve guessed
More wasted taxpayer money.
Finally they did something right maybe we could stop the cash flow to Ukraine next.😊
Only 500 pounds not the 200llbs coulndnt they compromise and get the 1000 lbs.
Actually, it delivered 20,000 lbs of food to the pier. There is no evidence much, if any, of that food actually got to the Palestinians. It hit the same kinda of roadblocks as all other aid deliveries because it was a solution to a problem that didn’t exist and didn’t solve any of the actual problems of getting aid into Gaza and to people who need it. That problem being that Israel didn’t want the aid getting to the people who need it.
A waste of money! Look how it could have helped the homeless. smh
Gazans are homeless, their homes (along with businesses, schools, hospitals, etc.) having been reduced to rubble.
it was never used and somhow costed 320 million.... it was entirly a waste
Imagine your shopping cart costing you a milly at checkout. That’s what you just paid for this. A million a cart. 😂
She sounds like a robot 🥴
Meanwhile, biden is in Michigan. ..smh
Free Palestine
Reeee Palestine xD
It's amazing that the US military - the most powerful force on Earth - failed to secure the pier and create a successful supply line.
Quite separate from the Politics involved here, in a conflict these kind of piers to supply an offensive can be critical after an invasion ('liberation'). The fact that they couldn't make it work effectively and keep it going with absolutely NO ENEMY ATTACKS is crazy.
@@zackleahy9241 🤣 was there a massive Hurricane I missed? It's just a pier 😆
Of course you did id say more but your moderators will censor me to spare your feelings so why bother.... American gonna American...
Let's remember that the pier was used for the IOF mission to rescue the 4 hostages -- the soldiers hid in the aid trucks that came from the pier. Another criminal act called 'perfidy'.
Mission accomplished.
@@georgeglass3680 Yup. IOF allegedly killed 2-3 of their own hostages in the process and racked up one more war crime to add to it's long rap sheet for the ICJ. Well done, israel. Par for the course.
Polls prove that Gazan support for Hamas actually increased after the Oct 7th terrorist attack. Sick.
@@NoName-ml5yk I would say the "IDF" intentionally murdering over 40,000 Palestinians, is pretty sick!!!!
@@NoName-ml5yk One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Critical thinking eludes you, obviously.
How much $ can the US spend?
American “can-do” has in so many ways given way to a “can’t-do” attitude. That there was in this instance at least a token effort might be slightly encouraging, perhaps.
"Antisemitism" on the rise? So they have a reason to say there is no genocide in Gaza? Really. All I ever felt was sympathy for the Jews UNTIL THEY BEGAN A GENOCIDE on CHILDREN! My sympathy has evaporated. Forever.
Literally nobody cares and it’s obvious you have no idea what genocide means
I feel the exact same way. They’re using their history of genocide to excuse committing it against others. My views on their story have changed forever
@@audradaniels4161 you having a masters degree hurts your argument it doesn’t help
@@litedawg "Literally nobody cares and it’s obvious you have no idea what genocide means"
Literally nobody? LMAO! Yeah nobody in the entire world cares at all do they. What an incredibly stupid thing to say! And you do have an idea what genocide means? Tell everyone what it means then. Telling other people that they have no idea is easy. Any old thick twat can say that. If you actually had any real knowledge on the topic, you would have posted it in your first response. But you haven't. This speaks volumes. You're a clueless dipshit.
@@litedawg The world's top lawyers and judges are deliberating upon whether this is a genocide, at the ICJ, and they have already decided that it "plausibly" is. And they decided that with great speed, because the evidence was so powerful. You make such a fool of yourself when you declare you know more than the world's experts on genocide. I'd be embarrassed to be you. But I suppose I wouldn't know how silly I was, if I was you.
20 m blast radius = roughly 1200 sq m kill zone.
35 m blast radius = roughly 3800 sq m kill zone.
The 500 lb bombs have a kill zone that’s ONE THIRD the size of the 2000 lb bombs. That IS a big difference.
you're just making up numbers
@@DefNotABotBeepBoop
“On detonation, a 500-pound bomb can severely harm or kill everything or anyone within a 20-metre (65-foot)blast radius. A 2,000-pound bomb has a destruction radius of 35 metres (115 feet), according to the Project on Defense Alternatives (PDA), which conducts defence policy research and analysis.”
@@DexterPointner there isn't just one kind of "500 pound" bomb. You guys are talking out of your ass.
@@DefNotABotBeepBoop lol he gave u figures and you said he made them up. I gave you sources and quotes backing up what he said by non partisan reputable sources and you moved the goal post. Do you concede that nobody is “making up numbers?” Cause that’s the issue here.
Netanyahu from the Knesset straight to jail - Today
All lies from the start to five israel more time
Another 30 meters in diameter is a bit more than the width of 8 U.S. Interstate Highway lanes. That could make a significant difference in operations actually seeking to avoid collateral damage, but as “carpet” destruction is the aim, it’s still the result.
Ah the debate talking point was taken down after the debate? I’m shocked! This pier was a total optics failure from day 1.
USA should just pull out if Middle east completely. No aid to Palestine, Israel, Egypt, Saudi. No humanitarian or military aid. Lets see how quickly these problems resolve once USA medding is out of the picture. My guess is 1-2 weeks
Lying isreal owns America.
They own your Congress,senate and White House.
Obey and pay lying isreal your taxes. Over 500 billion taxpayers dollars was not enough. Obey
OCCUPY RAYTHEON
Yasmine is back 😍😍😊😊
Yes sir, she's extra bad bro.
I heard it was only set up to launch the hostage rescue
Don't listen to the 'voices'.
Good let them get their food from the same people they get their Ammunition’s from.
US withholding weapons from Israel will undoubtedly encourage Israel to start producing their own weapons.
Then we withhold $$too
It's too late for any of that sht
Unbelievable...🤦♂️😲
they had to close it down , they were being attacked by the Kraken lol :))
I'm from the UK and looking to join, there's only US Zip code as an option?
(btw your content is fantastic!)
Another nail in bidens coffin
The pier is a metaphor for Bidenomics
Time to use vetoes time to turn your back, even on your own country to send a message. This will not be tolerated in the world.
The real reason I am here found an earwig in my room and with luck I got it outside (it looked like one from massachusetts)
This is the real Biden's Build back better
3rd try to get past censor:
The _tsilairepmi_ venture serves not the national interests, but those of the transnational _eripme_ of capital. The hollowing out of any nation-state can be lucrative to that vastly greater enterprise.
Isn’t that so infuriating? In order to talk about “them” and their war crimes and crimes against humanity, we literally have to speak in code. It’s insanity
@@audradaniels4161 Ah, here you go again with your bigoted comments.
The pier is not designed for that beach. It's best in a port protected by a BREAKWATER to subdue waves. GAZA has plenty of rubble to create a breakwater. Get machinery in there to carve out a port so peace will survive. People of Gaza can rebuild. A pier will allow hospital and supply lines. But HAMAS must be moved out of Gaza or totally subdued.
STFỤ
Imagine that.
Pie for military aids to Israeli and not atherway .we're not stupid
Is that Mike Rowe?
Why would Israel give aid to there enemies
So, it cost us $11.50 per pound of food delivered. I'd rather the government buy me a steak.
Go to jail, you'll get that meat
What a STUPID STATEMENT TO MAKE, BUT THEN IT SHOWS THE WORLD WHAT TYPE OF PETSON YOU ARE .
US Special ops could clear the Rafah crossing of all and any Israeli interferences preventing aid deliveries in a few hours. Cheaper and more efficient than a pier.
Israel would attack the USA if we tried that.
Israel is working against us at every turn.
no, america foots the bill for the israeIi military, so you'd probably end up paying for the replacements as well as pensions for the family.
$230 million dollars well spent. Thank you Joe Biden.
There is a cease fire now
The adults are talking.
What a waste of money just tell Netinartu Biden you groveller how it’s going to be grow a spine
Stopped at 3:25
You are not qualified to talk about bombs
That was cringe.
The difference between 500 lb and 2000 lb bombs is immense. You're looking at 2 numbers that look deceptively close but you're doing addition when you should be doing multiplication.
You are not qualified to talk about mathematics - multiplication of integers can be thought of as addition....
Love me some mark thompson
How much if any of the food did the people in Gaza receive, from the US.? Israel blocked delivery of a lot of food and other aid getting through.
The 2000 lb is less lethal than the 500 lb, 😂 with the advancement of technology ISRAEL will get the same results.
So we paid about $20 per pound of food. Better have been really good food.
Darfur famine Americans are nit getting good nutrition
Build prisons not piers
Let Iran build gaza a humanitarian pier.
theyll use it to smuggle weapons, spreading civil war like theyve done in other countries. Sounds insulting but its just the reality
@@Br0130So?
I hope the Gaza community remembers this come voting time.
horrid comment
@samsmith2635 Why? The Biden Administration is complicit to the 34k+ deaths, mostly women and children that are collateral damage from the weapons he sold to Israel. So ya, the Muslim community and others, I would hope they remember this in November!
Let the "gaza community" go back to gaza.
Gaza community should vote for Trump 😂
@@Anp562 or just not vote for Biden.
Robotic delivery, and this is extremely tragic, and she's smiling throughout it.
