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.
I bought my Cutco knife from a yard sale to slice my veggies and my enemies, Cutco is complicit in my crimes!
Hey! I get this joke! Thanks Lenin!

Holy shit that newlinesmag article is something else. Fucking wild.
The article says they did just that. Donations from Zionists through Facebook groups.
Toyota should be marketing their pickups as “Lightweight, Tactical, improvised fighting vehicles”.
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.
- Ministry of Commerce General Administration of Customs National Defense Science and Industry Central Military Commission Equipment Development Department Announcement No. 28 of 2023 on the implementation of temporary export controls on some drones.
- Ministry of Commerce General Administration of Customs Central Military Commission Equipment Development Announcement No. 31 of 2024 Announcement on Optimizing and Adjusting UAV Export Control Measures.
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
20,000Chinese made drones (likely through consumer channels) and also relied on civilian donations of drones.“Soldiers independently launched crowdfunding campaigns,” L. explained. “Our company received around NIS 500,000 (approximately $150,000) in donations, which we also used to buy drones.” C., another soldier, recalled being asked to sign thank-you letters to Americans who had donated EVO drones to his battalion.
In a Facebook group named “The Israeli Drone Pilots Community,” many posts request EVO drone donations for units in Gaza. Multiple pages on Headstart (an Israeli crowdfunding startup) were also created to independently raise funds for drone purchases.
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.
Rule 3 violation detected! This was a bait post!
