I mean, they did.
Then the Israelis bombed the trucks and the hungry population surround them.
Multiple times.
It's literally on the news?

No mate they keep getting turned away. Here's one example:
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68486248
and there was another convoy that Israel blocked because it had "prohibited items", then it was searched and found to be ok but it was still denied entry because "fuck you" i guess. I can't find the link atm but it's out there.
If the truck that drives through a gate gets shot by the IDF then a truck that drives off a boat can also get shot by the IDF
And sadly most of the trucks are not getting through the border to be bombed by israel
The funniest part of that article is right at the top:
Israel has denied accusations it is preventing aid from entering Gaza.
"If there were an Oscar for best theatrical performance by a country, Israel would win every year. It's a country based on theater. It's a lunatic state - completely insane."
Norman Finkelstein
"We have always been at war with Eastasia."
In the classic capitalist way, the solution is always "more". So the plan is likely to send more food, so Israel can keep bombing the shit out of it, some will make it, and enormous profits will be generated in the process.
We did it Patrick. We saved Palestine.
Ship corn, IDF bombs it, you now have popcorn for Palestinians, checkmate Israel

They can't stop us all
It's gonna take two months to build the pier.
Countless will starve to death by then, and it seems like a forgone conclusion Israel is going to claim it's not safe to let Gaza control it.
They'll seize the port, and a stretch of land connecting it to Israel.
If Biden really wanted to do something now, he'd send US military with the aid trucks.
It's the only way to prevent Israel from attacking the aid
We aren't going to engage in a military operation AGAINST Israel. We SHOULD, but we never will.
What?
American military escorting American aid isn't a military action against Israel
Israel claims they can't let aid trucks in because Hamas will steal it.
American escort means Israel can't use that excuse, and if Israel attacks it, they'd be attacking the American military.
That isn't a military action against Israel in any way shape and form.

The argument for escorting aid in is because Israel will attack it... So what is the logical outcome of Israel attacking a US guarded convoy?
We are not going to put our people in that situation.
That still wouldn't be a military action against Israel, and no American troops would be in Israel territory.
What you're saying is that Israel would view preventing their genocide against Palestinians as an attack on them and then be "forced" to attack the US troops...
Israel would have to decide if they want to attack US military members to stop aid.
I'm not talking about hiding one soldier in a crate for a "gotcha". I mean a loud and proud military escort of aid. Something that is 100% normal regardless of it's a war zone or not.
I've spent 6 months of my life doing exactly this, lots more doing other stuff in the military.
I know what I'm talking about.
Not to mention, by your logic that would make Bidens plan to build a single pier over two months a military action as well...

Technically they don't have to finish the pier, we have vehicles made to transport marines and even tanks from sea to land. Even without our amphibious units, in May 2023 the USA had 3 ships delivering aid to shore in the Red Sea near Saudi Arabia in a shorter timespan.

I swear Israel must be privately threatening to nuke Iran.
2 of those things are actions from the USA, the third action is Israel.
Logical consistency 0.
This is supposedly illustrating the incapacity of the US (and other countries) to prevent Israel from using famine as a genocidal war weapon

Damn it. Tasteless, but that’s a good joke.
