Yemeni rebels attempting to impose a blockade on Israel fired rockets on a British ship and reportedly managed to sink it, the first time it has succeeded since the start of Israel's war on Hamas in Gaza
In every official statement they say that their attacks will continue until “the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip stops, and medicine and food enter the Strip.” With the entry of the international coalition to fight against Yemen, the Houthis announced that American and British targets in the Red Sea also were legitimate targets.
Their “demands” are pretty reasonable. They are a pretty shit (islamic) regime but they are “just” imposing sanctions against Israel.
The ICJ order states that Israel HAS to stop killing Palestinians and provide humanitarian aid. So Yemen imposing sanctions is legally absolutely justified. Instead the US and all the countries removing funding from UNWRA are making themselves complicit in genocide.
So it’s the US and the UK who are the aggressors here. They have also attached the Houthis for a decade. Also note that the Houthies are not a proxy for Iran, and what they are doing here is in their own political interest to stay popular with their own people. Israel is really fucking up the region.
What kind of drugs are you eating to make bombing civilian vessels and killing really innocent people sounds okay because something somewhere else is happening. It’s as if I keep beating your ass until mayor of your city bans flower pots on the streets. Completely insane and disconnected.
I know! It IS fucking crazy! But here we are! Israel is committing genocide, US and EU is aiding them and the Islamists are doing the right thing to impose sanctions and are attacked for it! It really is a farce.
But it would be more like saying if Black Beard was saying “I’ll stop the blockade as soon as you agree to a ceasefire and stop murdering these innocent civilians over there”. Kinda like a broken clock being right twice a day thing.
More than 10.000 children have died in Gaza. Over a 1000 had to have limbs amputated. Often without anaesthetic. But Israel keeps bombing hospitals and the US president and the EU keeps backing them. That’s BS.
You know a lot of arab-american voters in Michigan think this is BS too. Hey, it’s only a very narrow swing state… Glad the Dems are effective at telling them that they are just being stupid.
Enforcing sanctions against Israel? That isn’t, just from a legal perspective. This is how you enforce sanctions, how the US does it. And If you’d poll the people in the region they would overwhelmingly support of that. Even if you are fervently pro US empire, you have to realize that the wheels are becoming a bit wobbly.

Afaik, nobody died except for Yemenis.
But Saudi Arabia and the US really has killed a lot of them. They really should be ashamed of themselves /s
Load of malarkey. It’s like saying Black Beard had a point and pirates are a good thing.

No. It’s not like that.
Ever hear of the Barbary Wars? It’s like that.
