Any idea on how we can help these guys and girls? Sending physical supplies has a low chance of getting through Israel's blockade. Can they somehow be connected to the Internet in a resilient way that survives bombs and restrictions?



Ubiquiti was linked here a little while ago http://www.ubnt.com/broadband Their point-to-point wireless can travel a fair distance, but I don't know how resilient it can be. Something similar that is resistant to jamming (possibly frequency hopping, spread-spectrum) might be what's needed to bridge the gap to the wider internet.

Of course, any emanating signal strong enough may attract fire as well, so local communication may be limited to mesh networks similar to what's being used now during the Hong Kong protests.


US companies hire them on H1 visas. These people appear talented enough.
