Attacking civilian ships is generally considered a dick move.

[-] Alsephina@lemmy.ml 31 points 1 year ago

It's a gigachad move and the only morally correct thing to do when they're supplying a genocide.

[-] MooDib@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

But they're not just attacking ships supplying aid to Israel. They are attacking whatever passes by them. If it was to support Gaza, why would they have attacked a clearly marked Chinese ship?

attacked a clearly marked Chinese ship

Pretty sure they stopped attacking Chinese and Russian ships since they stopped supplying "israel" and co. through the Red Sea after the Yemeni gov told them to. There were a few misfires after that but for the most part they're left alone.

Hell, a br*tish ship misqueraded as a Chinese ship a few days ago to avoid being attacked. Probably why Yemen is ending up hitting a few Chinese ships too.

Regardless, China has condemned the US and UK's bombing of Yemen. As anyone with a hint of morals should.

Curious how you logic justifies their attacks on western ships, but not the west's response to these attacks.

[-] Alsephina@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah western countries and their ships should probably consider not supplying or supporting the genocide.

[-] Bonskreeskreeskree@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

And if you don't want to be retaliated against, don't attack ships.

[-] Alsephina@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

This idiot would've told Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising to not attack the nazis if they don't want to be retaliated against.

[-] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

And that is the move betacuck response you could have given.

[-] Alsephina@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago

I'd say supporting a genocidal colony with billions of dollars instead of your own country's healthcare and education is about the most "betacuck" thing you can do lmao

Also, what are you, a child?

[-] Nudding@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Any rebuttal to the comment or just ad hominem bullshit?

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Genocide is fine, tho. ๐Ÿ‘€

[-] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Because two wrongs always make a right. You projecting prick.

[-] Alsephina@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago

Bengalis, Cubans, Vietnamese, etc shouldn't have fought against their oppressors and liberated their nations then? Cuz killing people is wrong and two wrongs don't make a right ig?

[-] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Holy hell. What a massive assumption.

I've never seen someone try and treat the world as so black and white. Yikes.

[-] Alsephina@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago

Do you have an actual response or just the black and white take that "two wrongs don't make a right"?

[-] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

You seem to be conflating me condemning Houthi attacks on unarmed vessels as supporting Israel.

It is clear you only think in black and white. Especially if you're calling Houthi gigachads, you might want to look into who you're supporting.

[-] Alsephina@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I'm supporting those trying to stop an active genocide. Unlike you apparently.

[-] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

By supporting a group that also calling for a genocide?

And again your back to the black and white thinking, but what can I expect from someone unironically using the term gigachad.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is no different from sanctions if you bother to think about it. Sure it's more scary, but they aren't killing people. That should count for something. They're just limited by their material conditions and doing whatever they can to stop the genocide.

[-] Nudding@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Why did they attack those ships?
