    Trying to disarm an aggressor is not the same as attacking commercial ships.

      Why isn’t halting a genocide more important than interrupting commercial shipping to you?

        A couple of targeted strikes on houthi terrorists is genocide to you? How about stop being disingenuous.

            Per your second article, “The Houthis say they are targeting ships which are Israeli-owned, flagged or operated, or which are heading to Israeli ports. However, many have no connections with Israel.

            Emphasis mine. So what exactly do they have to do with the Palestinian genocide? Sounds like they’re just clout chasing and distracting from it.

              Yes Israel, the countries illegally aiding genocide and ships heading there will be totally honest about which ships are going to their ports.

              Hint: numerous ships with no indication on their manifests have made their way to Israeli ports to deliver weapons.

            You think the Houthi attacks are anything other than a tactic to distract the west from Ukraine? Read between the lines.

              Yes surely Russia is somehow behind the Israeli decision to genocide Palestinians.

                Don’t play dumb, that’s not what I said. Russia and Iran had a hand in the October attacks by the Palestinians which started this war however.

                  The entire IDF failed against a few dudes on a paraglider because RUSSIA DID IT!

                  This is just tinfoiling.

                    Have you read anything about the attacks? The IDF failed for the same reason USA failed on 9/11, they had intel and ignored it

          Houthis have been answering it for going on ten years now. Just ask the Saudi princes who got fireballed down at the F1 track last year.

            You’re going to have to expand on how that was successful for them and how it answers the question.
