Companies are rerouting around South Africa to avoid militia attacks in Yemen in one of the biggest disruptions to world trade since the Covid-19 pandemic
This means the North Yemenese blockade is achieving its aim of applying pressure to the world’s commercial powers to act on the Gazan Genocide. Now the Chinese and the rest of the world have skin in the game. This is an incentive to every country to tell the Americans to get their pet to start behaving. And without any civilian victims either. This is fantastic strategic thinking. Well done indeed.
Some of the governments of various regional powers may not care. However the Palestinian cause has massive popular support.
In Yemen I think it’s both. The Yemeni people were starved and bombed by the Saudis with lots of US support. It shouldn’t be surprising to anyone that they feel a deep sympathy for what Palestinians are going through.
The US will lose to the Houthis faster than they did to the Taliban. The Houthis are far better soldiers than the Taliban an have already been dodging US made bombs for a decade.
But hey, maybe it’ll stabilize Red Sea trade long enough for the Zionists to complete their genocide.
Maybe the Houthi’s just take their slogan literally and have their own motivations? Everyone’s got to be a puppet though. Is Israel doing a genocide because the US told them to?
II could marginally accept the term “piracy”, given that the Houthis in North Yemen are not recognized as a country, but …“islamic terrorism”? Really? If this is islamic terrorism, what is Isis and Boko Haram? This is the same kind of trivialization that passes for Israeli political discourse these days, like calling Hamas “worse than Nazis”?
These people are not disrupting shipping to establish a kalifate, they are at best intervening in a political land dispute, at the worst doing the best they can to stop an ongoing genocide.
Oh you know, “the politics is nuanced”, “nobody takes the extremists too seriously”, “I personally don’t agree with the big picture but…”, and all the other excuses Ben Gvir white -washers make for the Israeli establishment. Israel doesn’t get the moral monopoly of having nuanced shitty politics. In practice these guys, yahoos while they might be, are actually trying to stop a currently ongoing genocide. If Israel stops the crimes in Gaza and ends the apartheid and occupation I will join you in condemning anything you like, like tomorrow.
I don’t know how you don’t see the difference between a political action like a blockade and actual violent Islamic terrorism. There seems to be a disconnect there. The blockade should be praised as a good thing when compared with all the other terrible actions that could’ve been chosen instead.
The funny bit is that the guys he describes as “terrorists” are the ones doing a blockade to try to stop support from some international powers like the US for the XXI century Nazis who are doing their very own final solution on a people of a different etnicity in a ghetto created and militarilly controlled by those same Nazis.
In other words, he’s claiming the people who actually have the highest moral ground in the greatest genocide of the XXI century (so far) are “terrorists”.
Still, it makes sense that the kind of racist who thinks everybody in that region who follows Islam is a terrorist would be even more enraged that said “terrorists” are trying to stop actual material support for the Genocide being done by the XXI century Nazis who are mass murdering a different etnicity they deem to be “human animals”.
You need to be quite the Nazi-lover to claim the 10,000 Palestinian children murdered so far by the guys who claim the entire etnic group they belong to are “human animals”, were Hamas.

Yeah, or the US just invades Yemen with global support, triggering the regional crisis Iran wanted.
None of the regional powers actually care about Palestine outside of using it as a convenient political excuse.

The Houthis do this because Iran tells them to. WTF. Can’t believe you’re white-knighting this.

Two generations are about to learn why America has such a large Navy
Didn’t expect to see pro-violent Islamic terrorism opinions when I logged into lemmy this morning but here you are

Really? What’s the Houthi movement slogan then?

The way you avoid the question tells me that you know you’re in the wrong. I hope you sleep well with your shocking lack of morals!
If hell was putting pressure to stop to a genocide I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.
Keep dancing I’m sure you’ll feel better
Oh sure … just ignore the fact that Iran backs the Houthis and the Houthis attack random ships, like those owned by Danish Maersk… that’s not terrorism at all.
Yemen is enforcing a blockade against a genocidal criminal state. Someone else is playing world police and the US can’t stand that.

Thank you for only punching me in the face sir.

Seems like they’re siding with the lesser evil.
