A military enforced trade blockade is too much for some people to handle who think battling a state responsible for genocide can be done without violence… which is exactly what a military specializes in.
Of course now that the US has gone home, no one is there to intercept all the antiship missiles, so any vessel aiming for Israel should really take the alternative route.
The part where this goes off the rails in the public discourse is that people are broadly absolutely fucking STUCK in linear, binary thinking, I can list a thousand examples of this in every-day-life and it’s a weakness that governments exploit daily. For some reason our species can live comfortably in the cognitive dissonance about things like faith and reason existing alongside each other, but cannot fathom the idea that bad people can fight other bad people and they’re both bad. Or that people lie in ways that appeal to your own feelings to try to get public sympathy behind their own agenda.
The Houthis say that any Israel-linked ship is a target,[90][87][88] including US and UK warships, but they have also attacked the ships of many nations with no connection to Israel.[91][92] From October 2023 to March 2024, the Houthis attacked more than 60 vessels in the Red Sea.
They’re pirates. If the genocide stopped tomorrow, they would still be fighting for their own political agendas and of course the wealth onboard these giant ships full of goods, including food, aid and other vital supplies destined for countries unrelated to Israel, Yemen or Palestine.
The Houthis have done so many crimes towards their own civilians, including denial of humanitarian aid. Just because they literally have written „Death to Israel. A curse upon the Jews.“ on their flag and act accordingly makes them good guys in some people’s eyes.
When Arabs kill Arabs Western leftists don’t pay attention.
in the public discourse is that people are broadly absolutely fucking STUCK in linear, binary thinking
Polarisation has empowered the most radical and extreme voices. Nuance is punished harshly and immediately by campists. Facts and truth matter less and less regardless of political affiliation.

The Houthis targeted plenty of ships not going to Israel.

What do you mean? A 2nd carrier group just got there …
Brace yourself, it’s about to go down
Our dumb, violent, primate species fucking deserves the apocalypse we’re crafting in laboratories as we speak.
