When protestors make obviously false claims in videos like this such as asserting there is a "Genocide" in Gaza or that there are "millions" of Palestinians being killed it tends to make many not take their complaints all that seriously.

Is Jeff Bezos also somehow on Epstein list to be blackmailed to do such evil things or is he a natural evil?

An interesting context here is that this happens coupled with the destruction of a big Wildberries store near Moscow yesterday. Wildberries is the Amazon's Russian counterpart.

Amazon data centers were already being attacked by terrorist groups(i.e. the IRGC) before the Wildberries strikes.[0]

Yep. The status has changed from 'untouchable' to 'could be next'. And it was almost too easy to destroy it so I bet that the protester action has been another startle more in a complicated week. Once the cat is out the bag you can't put it again.

I learnt that this companies will not pay for any of the borrowed items destroyed. A lot of sellers in UAE and Russia lost a lot of money this year.

The threats in the middle east against international shipping and regional energy infrastructure seem to have a similar threat profile to data centers and commercial warehouses. There are lots of large high value targets in the region that are hard to defend reliably against missiles/drone attacks.

One of the big problems in dealing with those threats is that terrorist groups like the IRGC or Hamas can be very hard to deter in general.

These sort of common and usually ineffective detached from reality protests are nothing all that new and are quite different from real military threats to infrastructure.

Were UAE distribution warehouses hit as well or just data centers?
