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

End the genocide
...or we'll drown more people!
They was warned multiple time
We warned the Houthis, too, so I guess it's OK to bomb some.
I warned my neighbor that i would shoot him if he tried to pick my back door one more time. He warned me that he would kill my wife. Clearly we are both the same
Did you warn your mailman not to drop off mail at your criminal neighbor's house or you would blow up his truck?
No, but I did warn my mailman not to deliver the ammo to my neighbor who has already killed my uncle's entire family and is promising to murder my wife next.
We can play this game forever. The reaction to genocide isn't worse than genocide.
Anything less than genocide goes, I guess.
You guess very stupidly, and without evidence. No one suggested "anything goes", and you're once again implying an action that occurred in an attempt to stop genocide is isolated act of aggression.
It doesn't "go", Houthis don't just get to sink ships, that's not the argument being made.
Israel is actively slaughtering children, and they've been warned for well over a year now to stop or ships heading their way will be attacked.
I know you understand the concept, you'll happily attribute the death of civilians indiscriminately bombed in a besieged enclave to the resistance militants and disgustingly call them human shields... But here they aren't living in an open air prison that they aren't allowed to leave, here they took a job on a ship going to a state that's currently unapologetically live streaming a genocide.
Houthis is an armed political and religious movement not an ethnic group within Yemen. Yes, it's ok to bomb them
And the people on the ship were Filipinos...
I feel sorry for them. The genocide should end it will save everybody lives. The houthis didn't attack any ship during the cease fire so why the countries that have the obligation to do the best to stop it isn't doing all they can?

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.
edit: the fact that people are snarling at actual, neutral reporting of factual events should be the clue-in that you're all literally doing the exact same thing we despise from the right, letting feelings cloud our judgement about who our real allies are or are not. Use your fucking heads you hysterical children.
I am fully convinced that most of you are reflexively reacting because your favorite political streamer said something good about Houthis at some point and you're not even sure why or what the nuance is.
They didn't attack before 7 of october and didn't attack during the ceasefire. End the genocide
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.

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.

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?

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."
The time of israel lol
Parent company of the ship had other ships which delivered to Israeli ports. Sad that they used human shields for their complicity in genocide.

-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
