The people of Yemen are the victims of genocide, perpetrated by Israel and Saudi Arabia, and supplied by America.
- And you propose...what, specifically? We let the genocidal, slave-taking, rape happy terrorists that are the Houthis continue to attack us, because we deserve it?
  Is it really any wonder why nothing Internet leftists support ever succeeds?
  
  I propose we stop helping Israel facilitate genocide so they will go back to not attacking us.
  
  I propose you explain why I should trust genocidal, terrorist slavers.
  
  Al Ansar Allah enacted the blockade in response to Israel's genocide due to their own (along with every other signatory of the convention on genocide)'s obligation to stop genocide.
  When Israel agreed to the ceasefire, they stopped. When Israel resumed its genocide, they resumed the blockade.
  This is very simple, you are either a moron or a pro-genocide moron pretending not to understand.

  They're also obligated under international law not to enslave people, which they're doing.
  
  The US is not blowing up a bunch of civilians and the occasional member of Ansar Allah to stop slavery, nor will it be a side effect of America's actions. Do you believe Israel is bombing Gaza to liberate queer Palestinians from Hamas? That America bombed Afghanistan into the stone age to protect woman's rights? That we need to go to war with China because the US is just so concerned about the plight of the Uhygurs?
  I do not believe you give a shit about the welfare of the Yemeni people and think that bombing them is good for them.
  
  Once again you miss the point. You argue their actions are because of their duty under international law. Despite that they are presently enslaving people, in defiance of international law. I have no reason to believe anything they say.
  I think bombing the Houthis is good for the rest of the Yemenis.
  
  You already know were enacting the blockade because of the genocide, as proven by the fact that they stopped it when Israel agreed to the ceasefire, and resumed it when Israel resumed the genocide.
  You already know the US does not bomb only Ansar Allah, the very texts in question mention that they leveled the guy's girlfriend's apartment building.
  Fuck off with this bad faith horseshit.
  
  They're enacting the blockade because they're terrorists. They began the blockade weeks after the October 7th massacre, because they, like Hamas, are servants of Iran's proxy war with Israel and the Saudis.
  Palestine is an excuse for the Houthis, much as it is for you.
  
  They began the blockade weeks after the October 7th
  That's a lie. They hijacked their first ship on November 19th.
  They’re enacting the blockade because they’re terrorists
  You see, Yemeni culture requires them to be terrorists, block ships of Israel's allies, and kick puppies. They don't do it for any particular reason, they're just born hating your freedom and being mind-controlled by other freedom haters. Tragic really, but the only way to help them is to indiscriminately level entire apartment blocks.
