A video shared widely by Hebrew Telegram channels on 8 June shows that the Israeli army made use of the US-built pier installed in central Gaza as part of a bloody rescue operation that saw the killing of at least 210 Palestinians in the Nuseirat refugee camp.
Furthermore, according to Israeli journalist Barak Ravid, a special US military unit specialized in rescuing captives “supported the effort” that decimated the Nuseirat camp.
I also have seen multiple videos and images on Twitter of humanitarian aid trucks used in the operation as well.
The math makes more sense when you remember that they don’t view Palestinians as people. In addition, they consider the goal of taking away Hamas’ political leverage in negotiations as more important than the lives of their own soldiers and civilians.
This. The important thing is they view the very existence of Palestinians in Israel as a threat to the settler colonial project. They saw South Africa, Rhodesia, Namibia, Mozambique, etc etc etc they won’t allow the “mistakes” to repeat. Sooner or later they want all of them forced out or dead…
Israel is a lot more fragile than they let on.
