    You claim I’m arguing in bad faith, but all your points make insanely huge assumptions on what the US is plausibly capable of forcing, and in an insanely short timespan. Particularly taking into account how little Isreal has been willing to negotiate in good faith currently and in past.

      The Pier took 2 months to build. It took two weeks to repair. So claiming this to be an “insanely short time span” is already wrong. And it is not enough. The US would need to build another 5 of the same piers to bring in enough aid on that route, ignoring the need to distribute it, which Israel again is blocking. So would you rather build piers for ten months instead of stopping to send arms to the people who block the available land routes?

        I would rather do both, because I find it incredibly unlikely that stopping arms shipments today would do anything at all to dampen Israel’s ability to blockaid the land routes for a very long time. I also don’t think Isreal is incapable of finding weapons suppliers outside of the US if push comes to shove.
