      Wow, what do you even say to that?

      “Fuck Off”

        But would you put that on your flag? Because that’s what the Houthi’s did. Their flag is basically a Shia extremist written reenactment of that scene from Half Baked: “Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you! You’re cool.”

          Not quite there but Scotland’s official motto, which is the Latin for “nobody provokes me with impunity”, or “don’t be a dickhead or I’ll make you regret it”

      “Wow, the Middle East is fucked up” is usually what I go with.

      Nothing. You resist any urge to respond and walk away before getting sucked into a maddening and/or exasperating conversation.

      Some sources state that it was first chanted at the Imam al-Hadi school in Marran in January 2002, while others claim that Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi used it after seeing footage of a young Palestinian dying in his father’s arms during the Second Intifada in 2000

      Well it seems like they’re confusing Judaism with Zionism. They should be explained the difference because their anger is clearly misdirected.

      As for the rest, it’s pretty normal if you look up what America has done to Yemen.

    I hope this meme is making fun of the right person but… I’m not 100% sure (to be fair I’m super tired and sleep deprived).

        Yeah, that’s what I meant with the right person; thanks.

    Their coffee is hella good though.

    Am I supporting terrorists by continuing to buy coffee from Yemen?

      Probably, but ethically sourcing coffee is difficult even when the country isn’t in a state of civil war.

      The morals of their stories are much less wholesome, though.

    I don’t know enough about the houthis to come to a conclusion about them as a whole, but the specific action of blocking shipping in response to the genocide of Palestinians is based.

      Blocking shipping = based

      Having “Curse the jews” on your flag = not based
