A cargo ship that was struck by a Houthi ballistic missile on Monday has created an 18-mile long oil slick in the Red Sea as it continues to take on water, two US officials said Friday.

The M/V Rubymar — a Belize-flagged, UK-registered, Lebanese-owned vessel — was carrying 41,000 tons of fertilizer when it was struck on Monday by one of two ballistic missiles fired from Houthi territory in Yemen.

US Central Command said the ship is currently anchored as it takes on water. “The Houthis continue to demonstrate disregard for the regional impact of their indiscriminate attacks, threatening the fishing industry, coastal communities, and imports of food supplies,” US Central Command said.

Please note it is not so much Israel as Nyet N' Yahoo. This is the work of a desperate criminal trying to remain in power.

And then 72 percent of Israelis say aid shouldn't be allowed in until prisoners are released.

I'm sorry. But starving people en masse is not it. It's time to treat Israel the same way we treated Germany. Disarm, occupy, hang the war criminals, and force a government representative of everyone from the river to the sea. And yes that means an end to their ethnostate. That's the point. They've fucked around. It's time for the find out.

72% of the people they asked. Lots of Israelis are not happy with this war.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago

Yeah. It looks like around 28 percent. Unfortunately that's not enough. When 2/3rds of a country believes in Genocide the world needs to intervene.

This has been going on for 75 years. The problem is not Netanyahu. The problem is Zionism.

Lot of Americans don't like trump.
