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.

They killed 210 people in order to save 4. It took them 8 months to start this operation and they even lost a CT commander during.

Absolute waste of human life this whole situation is.

That was the intention of the pier all along. American soldiers actually helping anyone is such a ridiculous notion

When the first, what, ~10(?) small trucks/day crossed the pier and didn’t even make it into Gaza, it was pretty obvious to everyone the military didn’t spend over $300 million to help a fucking thing. My most cynical take was this would be used by the IOF as a military asset. Being right feels shit.

Yep, they can feel sorry for indigenous people when they are all dead, but they will not lose the beachhead of manifest destiny 2.0, mid east edition without a “fight”. Andrew Jackson did the trail of tears and is on the 20. In a century if they succeed, big if, Biden will be on a note.

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.
