The appeal for drones, sent out to Gordon’s mailing list, has since grown into a “thermal drone matching campaign” run by the One Israel Fund, another charity based in the Five Towns that supports West Bank settlements. The group hosts tours of the West Bank and holds annual wine-tasting barbecues in the Five Towns to fund settlement security projects. Although it usually raises $3 million per year, the One Israel Fund took in $2.5 million in the month after Oct. 7, according to the Long Island Herald

Yeah the article specifically says "weaponizing" meaning that they weren't weapons when they were made. So not as bad as the comic makes it out to be. However, why are you selling to Israeli military companies, Mr. Xi?

there's basically no feature you can put in a drone that won't get used to murder people

Yeah I get what you're saying but idk personally anytime I hear "X, Y, and Z companies in China are doing this!!" I'm always willing to give the country/government itself a bit of slack given there's 1.5 billion people living and like 100+ million business entities in China. Saying "The Chinese government was definitely aware of these companies' sales to Israel" to me just sounds ridiculous because you could argue that the US/EU with their far smaller populations and consequently number of companies should be able to prevent any sale of illegal/restricted/etc stuff but that kind of shit happens 24/7. (One could argue that is just a natural consequence of capitalism of course but you know what I'm trying to say)
