      The problem with the Israeli attacks i gaza is not the attacks themselves. Israel should have the right to defend themselves on all sides.

      The problem is, that in Palestine they are using this as an excuse to kill as many civilians as they can get away with. This is genocide. They are more or less regulating the population of Palestine, and arguing that they in reality are fighting Hamas. The civilians are unfortunate accidents (that more or less keep on happening day in and day out)

    Some of these comments are weird.

    The Houthis have been keeping up their blockade for 8 months and have already been bombed by US coalition forces multiple times.

    I don’t think they are at all surprised aside from the fact that it took Israel this long to do the exact same thing.

    I keep seeing lots of “find out phase” comments on other threads which doesn’t make any sense because they’ve been effectively at war for years on end, and definitely with Israel for 8 months.

    The more interesting notion is that Israel also probably bombed some residential areas unlike the US who were trying to destroy missile launch sites to end the blockade.

    Unsure because it was an oil depot.

    To paraphrase: “The Houthis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everybody else and nobody was going to bomb them.”

    Maybe don’t bomb people, and, failing that, don’t be surprised when they bomb you back.

        Funnier still how the headlines on certain publications work. Houthis bomb Israel, Israel bombs them back; headline is “Israel bombs Yemen in Escalation with Houthis”.

        Being hated for being religious or a certain type of religion IS VERY DIFFERENT than being hated for being genocidal assholes.

        Same way most people don’t care for a certain German vegetarian painter’s antics in that timeframe, but not the German people.

        Or not liking TV Evangelists because they’re greedy assholes that steal from the poor to buy private jets. The fairy stories they peddle are irrelevant.

      Yes, fuck them. They should let peaceful Houtis keep bombing ships and innocent people. Poor terrorists, can’t even terror in peace these days.

    Yes, Israel escalated this. When they bomb innocent trade ships, that’s fine, that’s not escalation that’s just tuesday and they are being cute.
