#2 Heavy seas? It’s the sodding Mediterranean, and the shallow end at that.

#3 No no no, you don't use that pier to get food in, you use it to get the terrorists OUT.

Off they go to their new homes. They cannot live in Gaza. In 10-20 years Gaza will be a showpiece resort of highrises, amusement parks and NO Muslims.

#5 No doubt the Gazookians will see this as divine intervention.

I doubt Brandon can take the hint.

#8 Sounds like the American Mulberry in Normandy.

Mulberry "A"
The Mulberry harbour assembled on Omaha Beach at Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer was for use by the American invasion forces. Mulberry "A" (American) was not as securely anchored to the sea bed as Mulberry "B" had been by the British, resulting in such severe damage during the Channel storm of June 19, 1944 that it was considered to be irreparable and its further assembly ceased,[12] It was commanded by Augustus Dayton Clark. - wiki

#10 Heavy seas? It’s the sodding Mediterranean, and the shallow end at that.

4000 years of documented history of being on the slosh end of a sluice in a shallow sea which means pop up storms this time of year where IIRC rowing vessels would have three anchors was standard procedure to keep them from being blown into to shore.

#14 the people*
They do appear to be featherless bipeds.

As for the floating pier clusterfoo, it is indeed a grand failure. But think of it as good practice for next time when we may need to do it for real. At least we will have our pronouns in order.
