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
Dunno, if it should be removed or not now, cause china can’t exactly control new york dipshits sales :(
I had a back forth with someone from ml earlier today about this article, a post they have since deleted. These drones must have been bought between the July 31, 2023 export restrictions on drone tech and the July 2024 adjustments to those restrictions. The drones do not drop bombs, they have a universal mechanism that can drop anything and Israel has created a mechanism to attach to that universal mechanism to drop grenades.
As it stands now China will not ship these drones to Israel. According to Autel, they have banned the sale of their drones to the entire region. They've made two statements on the matter. Here:
DJI has a similar statement pre 2023:
On Amazon and other platforms you can not get these drones shipped to Israel:
In the 9 months between the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood and the adjustments to drone exports Israel bought ~~20,000~~ Chinese made drones (likely through consumer channels) and also relied on civilian donations of drones.
The timeline on this purchase is unclear. It's also unclear if the changes to the export restrictions are a response to this purchase.
correction: Israel intends to buy 20,000 Israeli made drones.
From everything I've read and seen there isn't currently direct sales of drones from China to Israel.
"We didn't design our drones to drop bombs, we designed them to drop... you know... the wide variety of things drones are known to drop, like... uh..."
I bought my Cutco knife from a yard sale to slice my veggies and my enemies, Cutco is complicit in my crimes!
Your analogy doesn't work. The knife's primary purpose is for food.
The primary purpose for a drone that can drop things is to drop bombs.
It's more like making a sword and saying it's totally not designed for killing anyone, it's for cutting anything you want.
When I buy a knife I decide it's primary purpose. Personally I ship them into the UK to vagrants who use them for self defense in the subways.
