In order to reward Palestinians — who overwhelmingly supported the Oct. 7 terrorist attack according to a poll released by the Palestinian Center for Policy Survey and Research — the Biden administration will build a port to help ships dock to deliver food, water and medical supplies, which Hamas will surely steal.
But building a port in Gaza isn’t just a gross political move; it also, if history tells us anything, could result in the slaughter of Americans.
The United States sent 800 Marines to Beirut in 1982 to help protect Muslims and Palestinians as part of a peacekeeping mission after Israel entered Lebanon to create a buffer between radical Palestinians and Syrian forces. The U.S. approved the operation known as “Peace for Galilee.”
One year later a suicide bomber attacked the barracks in Beirut, murdering 241 U.S. service members. The blame was placed on Hezbollah, the same group currently firing rockets into Israel daily alongside Hamas. The barrack bombing was preceded by an April 1983 attack on the embassy which also killed U.S. soldiers and CIA staff.
