The White House said Monday that the U.S. may establish a naval task force to escort commercial ships in the Red Sea, a day after three vessels were struck by missiles fired by Iranian-back Houthis in Yemen.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan said the U.S. has been in active conversations with allies about setting up the escorts though nothing is finalized, describing it as a “natural” response to that sort of incident.
On Sunday, ballistic missiles fired by Yemen’s Houthi rebels struck three commercial ships, while a U.S. warship shot down three drones in self-defense during an hourslong assault, the U.S. military said. It marked an escalation in a series of maritime attacks in the Mideast linked to the Israel-Hamas war.
Its not a genocide if the people fight back?
Am I to understand that indiscriminate firing of rockets into purely civilian areas is “fighting back” and is justified in your opinion?
Ill give you my answer if you first condemn the IOF and their genocide.
It should be clear from the thread that I reject the idea that what is happening is genocide in the first place.
Then there is no point in arguing is there? If we cant agree on whether or not what we are witnessing is genocide then what hope is there on us agreeing on anything else.
Agree. If you can’t see a difference between this and the Holocaust I don’t think there’s much I can convince you of.
Oh you and your strawmen 🤭
Just using your exact example.
Except thats not what I said. You’re trying to extrapolate from one parallel I’ve drawn to claim I see both things as indistinguishable. It’s still a genocide even if it’s not on the level of the holocaust. And the forced relocations and destructions of family homes are still condemnable even if it were not part of a genocide. Which it is. The illegal occupation and wanton aggression has got to stop.
