    If that were the case, the Houthis would also attack the regimes in the area that perpetuate violence. Ain’t no angels in the middle east and they wouldn’t have to go far to find a funder of hate. They’re using a convenient excuse to justify unprovoked attacks on The Great Satan in hopes of raising their stature OR they’re doing it at the direction of a regional power. And I hope the Houthi’s shit gets pushed in.

      From a reply I wrote someone else here:

      I checked the wiki page of those vessels and it seems that the majoity they attacked was affiliated with Israel. One example was one Norwegian ship that initially claimed no connection and later turned out to have made a deal to deliver to Israel in January (the attack was in December).

      I would say, if they are putting economic pressure on Israel as a means of sanctioning them, I don’t see the problem. Better than all the other counties that signed documents that forbid them from supporting a genocide but have not sanctioned Israel.

      Seems like they were provoked by a series of unending massacres committed by Israel (again, not saying they are angels or don’t have other agendas like the ones on their flag) and have clearly stated that they would stop if more aid is entering Gaza and Israel stops its aggression/US stops supporting Israel.
