<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The
saturation of US police departments with drone
technology so closely connected to Israel,
technology used to carry out war crimes is a
frightening, if not unsurprising, development.
Skydio drones will be central to the rapidly
advancing proto-fascism in the US and the crack
down on Antifa and other so-called \u2018domestic
terrorists\u2019 by the Trump administration. In this
context, the bigger surprise is that the rapid
expansion of Israel-linked surveillance drone
technology across America has so far gone largely
under the radar. </p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Skydio
should also make it on to the agenda of Zohran
Mamdani. Recently criticised for saying \u201cwhen the
boot of the NYPD is on your neck, it\u2019s been laced
by the IDF,\u201d Skydio is just another example that
shows he\u2019s right. If he has the courage of his
convictions, he could do worse than use his powers
as mayor to shut down the NYPD\u2019s Skydio deal.</p>

We can only speculate as to what extent these

accrued via genocide. </span></p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The
story of Skydio shows that what happens in Gaza
doesn\u2019t stay in Gaza. </p>
