I was told that the massive and exorbitantly expensive air strikes solved this problem.
after a decade of the US helping Saudis turn Yemen into a parking lot, they can strike Israel and control the red sea.
makes me wonder what they fuck where they bombing that Yemen can still fight?
Civilian infrastructure, specifically farms, to facilitate genocide by hunger, weddings, schools, hospitals, ports…
i wonder if US foreign policy is doing this with the explicit intent to promote anti American terrorist groups, to ensure there’s always a target to promote the military industrial complex.
not sure if it’s a conspiracy, because they are already doing it, and that is the outcome, the only tin foil hat part is their intent
Well they’re clearly asking for some more
Wait, the Signal chat told me that this was solved for evar…
A military enforced trade blockade is too much for some people to handle who think battling a state responsible for genocide can be done without violence… which is exactly what a military specializes in.
Of course now that the US has gone home, no one is there to intercept all the antiship missiles, so any vessel aiming for Israel should really take the alternative route.
The Houthis targeted plenty of ships not going to Israel.
The part where this goes off the rails in the public discourse is that people are broadly absolutely fucking STUCK in linear, binary thinking, I can list a thousand examples of this in every-day-life and it’s a weakness that governments exploit daily. For some reason our species can live comfortably in the cognitive dissonance about things like faith and reason existing alongside each other, but cannot fathom the idea that bad people can fight other bad people and they’re both bad. Or that people lie in ways that appeal to your own feelings to try to get public sympathy behind their own agenda.

The Houthis say that any Israel-linked ship is a target,[90][87][88] including US and UK warships, but they have also attacked the ships of many nations with no connection to Israel.[91][92] From October 2023 to March 2024, the Houthis attacked more than 60 vessels in the Red Sea.
They’re pirates. If the genocide stopped tomorrow, they would still be fighting for their own political agendas and of course the wealth onboard these giant ships full of goods, including food, aid and other vital supplies destined for countries unrelated to Israel, Yemen or Palestine.
The Houthis have done so many crimes towards their own civilians, including denial of humanitarian aid. Just because they literally have written „Death to Israel. A curse upon the Jews.“ on their flag and act accordingly makes them good guys in some people’s eyes.
When Arabs kill Arabs Western leftists don’t pay attention.
in the public discourse is that people are broadly absolutely fucking STUCK in linear, binary thinking
Polarisation has empowered the most radical and extreme voices. Nuance is punished harshly and immediately by campists. Facts and truth matter less and less regardless of political affiliation.
Brace yourself, it’s about to go down
Our dumb, violent, primate species fucking deserves the apocalypse we’re crafting in laboratories as we speak.
From this BBC article: “It is the second vessel the Houthis have sunk in a week, after the group on Sunday launched missiles and drones at another Liberian-flagged, Greek-operated cargo ship, Magic Seas, which they claimed “belong[ed] to a company that violated the entry ban to the ports of occupied Palestine”…The group has said it is acting in support of the Palestinians in the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, and have claimed - often falsely - that they are targeting ships only linked to Israel”.
From The Times of Israel: “Both the Eternity C and Magic Seas were part of commercial fleets whose sister vessels have made calls to Israeli ports over the past year.”
These quotes do not contradict each other.
Parent company of the ship had other ships which delivered to Israeli ports. Sad that they used human shields for their complicity in genocide.
Wait so the targeted ship wasn’t even going to Israel? Wasn’t that the whole point of the blockade, not just attacking anyone vaguely related to Israel?
Ships related to Israel. The parent company very directly violated the blockade so they have become a target.
The number of people in this thread defending this shitstain terrorist organization is unreal.
You do realize you can be anti-Israel without supporting literal terrorists?
