The Temporary Pier and the Question of Why - American Thinker

This isn’t Israel being mean or suspicious; this is Israel learning from experience, and acknowledging reality - John F. Di Leo 
"...But ever since Hamas’s horrific attacks on Israel on October 7 that started this long-needed police action, the global anti-Israel lobby has declared that they need another way to bring in humanitarian aid – one outside Egypt. 
 They need a seaport, they tell us, to bring in aid directly from the Mediterranean.
Why?
The answer is obvious. 
  • The terrorists of Hamas and their fellow travelers have allies in Cyprus, Turkey, Greece, Iran, and the United Nations. 
  •  Anyone else who might ship cargo to Gaza would – intentionally – have weaker security checkpoints than Egypt has.
There’s a reason, after all, why Israel hasn’t been allowing relief vessels to serve Gaza, and it dates back to long before October 7. 
Israel has frequently caught weapons caches being smuggled into Gaza by sea in the past – always under the guise of humanitarian aid.
This isn’t Israel being mean or suspicious; this is Israel learning from experience, and acknowledging reality...

I think Israel is showing a lot of restraint. Considering the hate towards their citizens, and the terror they constantly face, I'm surprised they haven't gone scorched earth and let God sort them out.
