    Ah, so you don’t know anything about the Houthis and think all they’ve ever done is attack shipping boats.

    They literally use child soldiers. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/6/16/houthis-continue-to-recruit-child-soldiers-despite-yemen-truce

    Those are the righteous people you’re supporting. They send children to die in their war.

    Either you didn’t know about that or it’s not actually the death of innocent people you care about when it comes to Israel invading and bombing Gaza. I hope it’s the former and you’re not just bloodthirsty.

    Nearly 2,000 Houthi-recruited children were killed on the battlefield between January 2020 and May 2021, according to UN experts.

    That’s who you’re claiming it’s insanity to call monsters.

      Your outdated stats from 2020 are little relevant to their actions in the Red Sea. They are not sending children on suicide boats but autonomous boat drones.

      The Houthis actions in this conflict pertaining Gaza are absolutely stellar and have massively impacted the way israel and the rest of the Western world is world willing to continue this Genocide. Because in the end our government only cares about money.

      I can also bring up us murdering tens of millions of children in the last decades every single time someone brings up anything where we’re actually doing the correct thing.

        Okay, you are now defending a group that uses child soldiers after being informed that they use child soldiers because that was four whole years ago and also some whataboutism. That sort of defense does not belong in this community. It may even be a TOS violation, but I will let others decide on that front. Either way, you will have to find somewhere else to defend a group that uses child soldiers.

            Because people need to know what happens when they promote a group that uses child soldiers.

              Sticking a post saying that would be better. Especially if you think it’s a tos violation keeping it up would be negligence as a mod

                  Yeah I would actually understand what I’m enforcing tos if using it as a way to remove users I don’t like.

                    I don’t particularly like you right now. I’m not planning on removing you unless you also decide to praise and defend a group that has murdered thousands of children.
