    You already know were enacting the blockade because of the genocide, as proven by the fact that they stopped it when Israel agreed to the ceasefire, and resumed it when Israel resumed the genocide.

    You already know the US does not bomb only Ansar Allah, the very texts in question mention that they leveled the guy’s girlfriend’s apartment building.

    Fuck off with this bad faith horseshit.

      They’re enacting the blockade because they’re terrorists. They began the blockade weeks after the October 7th massacre, because they, like Hamas, are servants of Iran’s proxy war with Israel and the Saudis.

      Palestine is an excuse for the Houthis, much as it is for you.

        They began the blockade weeks after the October 7th

        That’s a lie. They hijacked their first ship on November 19th.

        They’re enacting the blockade because they’re terrorists

        You see, Yemeni culture requires them to be terrorists, block ships of Israel’s allies, and kick puppies. They don’t do it for any particular reason, they’re just born hating your freedom and being mind-controlled by other freedom haters. Tragic really, but the only way to help them is to indiscriminately level entire apartment blocks.

          First of all, they began launching rockets at Israel on October 19th.

          Second of all, what is your actual point? That because they aren’t intrinsically evil, we shouldn’t do anything to stop them? That because they have articulated a reason, they aren’t terrorists?

            Good. Everyone should be launching rockets at the country enacting a genocide.

            My point is that they aren’t risking their lives to enforce a blockade at random or because they’re “terrorists”, they are doing this in response to Israel’s genocide, this is why they stopped when Israel stopped, and resumed when Israel resumed, and this is what they’ve been saying the whole time.

            To stop the response to Israel, we should stop Israel.

              So, you believe Israel started committing genocide as soon as it retaliated to the October 7th massacre?

              You are wrong. They’re murderous terrorists.
