What a waste of US tax payer money....

[nejaziB]

We should all just stop paying our taxes.

[ericeandco]

They can’t fix our bridges, dams or roads without multiple taxes and government fees but they can build a pier in Gaza off the backs of US citizens free of charge to Gaza.

[CanadianForPutin.]

230 million US taxpayer dollars stolen and laundered overseas. 😂

[robby]

They go money for war but cant feed the poor

[chrisholloway]

We can spend 230million on a pier in Gaza, yet we can’t help our countless homeless veterans and children

[JonathanDaily-mb]

People here in America don't have food and in some places can't go outside

[energyasylum]

Props to our troops out there for always pushing!

So with all the countries in Europe and Persia …. No one else could pitch in to build a pier?

[zenithproject]

$230m 😂😂😂what a joke waste my tax dollars 😂

[WarlordRaven]

I'm surprised the IDF didn't try seizing their cameras for showing the destruction they have caused in Gaza.

[happyfunjenn]

It's ridiculous that Israel won't just let aid in by truck. This is MADNESS

[cedubrutal]

How humiliating it is for the first military power in the world to bow down and and crawl in front of such a tiny country...

[gillygil]

This how the us steals us taxpayers money 😂

[tztube]

A crucial piece of information was missing in this report - the percentage of humanitarian aid that is delivered through the pier vs. the percentage that is delivered through the Israeli and Egyptian border crossings. So far, the humanitarian aid through the pier was a tiny fraction of the total humanitarian aid delivered to Gaza.

[gathrightcrystal]

The nation looks like that and Blinken builts a pier. This administration should be ashamed

[MrTabo]

Who is receiving and distributing the aid in Gaza? Is civil society in Gaza functioning?

[wendyjones]

Gaza's population is 2.3 million. US spent $230 million to help them. That equates to $100 for every individual. What did they give back to US in return?

[Scarletohellno]

“Never underestimate Joe’s ability to e’ff things up”.. Even Obama warned us.

[davidkitterman]

Waist of money on Insects that don’t like us
