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.

There's not much we can do in the West to "support Hamas" other than resolutely refuse to condemn them, and to stress that armed resistance to genocide and colonial occupation is legal and legitimate and morally correct.

That is all well and good and we should continue to push back in the information space against the lie that resistance is "terrorist", but sadly that doesn't have much immediate practical impact.

Whereas BDS, work stoppages and protests (against arms deliveries, for ceasefire, for recognition of Palestine, for holding Zionist war criminals accountable, etc.) are things that we can actually do that will have a direct impact.
