/r/all A Chinese earthquake rescue team deployed drones to light up the night and aid search and rescue operations after the devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar.

Especially drones. I'm so tired of seeing some helpless Ukrainian or Russian soul spend his last moments on earth looking at a faceless machine that's being controlled remotely with a god damn playstation controller. Even worse was those aid workers last year who were chased miles, under constant drone attacks, only to perish under something that was likely being ordered by poorly trained AI software.

And Palestine. The drones hover them constantly. Its a maddening hum. Then add in the fake baby cries they broadcast, sometimes in the dead of night, to draw people out to so they can get shot by quadcopter drones. Its good to see drones being used to actually help people

I love how your comment is being ignored. Classic reddit. I was scrolling for a mention of what the zionists do with drones because that's what I thought of first.

Also I cannot see any likes for your comment.

Perhaps its because there are many americans here and i think for the average american with a conscience, its hard to confront the issue because their tax dollars make them complicit. And they feel powerless about it. Just a very wild guess and no offense intended. Currently at 11 likes

Hi yeah you're currently at 10 likes. You didnt have any and i guessed people were downvoting but i couldnt see minus points either so eh didnt know what to make of it.

I don't know with Americans, zionist brainwashing, and this false air of superiority is very real. And when they say anything that reflects a basic level of humanity to people of colour outside America they treat it like they're walking on a landmine lol

And my Indian resident peers always treated them with an undue level of esteem. I had a few of them in college... I don't know... i hope as i meet more i meet nicer Americans. Reddit feels like an extension of America and Europe, like the hwite parts of it. The general subs at least that are not location specific.

I grew up in the middle east and I learned about the holocaust and European antisemitism and how palestine paid for it. It's not rocket science but Americans and Europeans always treat it like that

Touching on your last point first - culturally speaking, America is a Christian nation (although that is declining). Idk if its common knowledge for Americans that Christians banished Jews from town to town all around Europe and that Jews held a grudge against Christians for that. (King edward, france, england. Martin Luther. In 1800s, the Rothschilds in England republished a letter in a jewish journal reaffirming this grudge against them. Some jews go so far as to spit on christians in israel.)

Besides that, the American anti-arab sentiment due to 9/11 (and prior to a lesser degree) has ensured Israel has the support it needs from Christians.

Iranian leadership (and others) chanting death to america in parliament doesnt help for obvious reasons. But given the conflict america has brought upon them, i can see why they would say that - although i do not support that statement whatsoever.

I suppose for some Americans, supporting the middle east is akin to traitorship. But Israel is not truly their ally. Israel is only their ally as long as they are under israels thumb and its a relationship that is mutually convenient for the time being. Its quite the pickle for Americans although I dont think many would agree with me.
