    America has been supplying Saudi with weapons to attack the Houthis with for many years.

    The Houthis didn’t lose.

    Why are people so mad that someone is actually standing up for human rights? The demands of the Houthis are very reasonable.

      What are the demands of the Houthis? I know they are Iranian-funded and trained, and that they’ve been warring with the Saudis for years. But now all of a sudden they are world news for attacking global shipping. I also know they say they are supporting the Palestinians, but that seems like a fig leaf.

        Yemen wants Israel to end its genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

        It certainly looks like attention seeking and piracy for money

        You write a lot of without knowing anything about the situation. Very interesting.

        Please give me a different reason for the Houthis to attack shipping, it’s can’t be them standing up to genocide right? is it their scary religion which doesn’t mass murder kids in Gaza?

          I’m not sure why your first instinct is to insult me when I just tried to engage you in conversation. Why are you even here if you don’t want conversation? Are you just looking for an echo chamber?

            You can’t seriously be partaking in this conversation when you start with “bro what do the Houthis even want they’re just firing missles at ships randomly, they are an Iranian proxy fighting for no reason xddd”

            Their demands were stated very clearly when they started. Stop the blockade and Genocide on Gaza.

      “standing up for human rights”

      Meanwhile, on the Houthis flags: “death to Israel, death to America, Jews are a curse upon the land”

      You, a joke of a person who needs to look in the mirror and laugh at yourself: “very reasonable people”

        We’re talking about their actions at this very moment. Not them as an organization.

        If Kim Jong Un decided to block to Red Sea to support Palestinine instead of the Houthis it would be just as morally correct. If America did it too.

        It’s about getting water, food and medicine to little children who are getting their legs amputated without anesthetics as if it’s a SAW movie.
