I don't have to like it, but it's sort of a sound strategy. The Red Sea is on the way to the Suez Canal, and the world had a demonstration a few years ago about what happens when you block the Suez canal.
The Houthis are just abiding by the Geneva convention. Terrorists lmao.

Thanks. That was concisely informative.
Their message is "death to America" and "death to Israel" and they are attacking innocent workers.
They are terrorists. The will have no country.
I'm ignoring the rest of the conversation.
What country do the Houthi's have? Yemen calls them rebels, and that's where they live, isn't it? Is there some country called Houth that I'm unaware of?
They have none. They want Yemen. The are on the wrong side of a civil war there. They control territory in North Yemen.
Strange way to twist someone blocking arms transports to a Nazi country.
Delusional. This is one terrorist group looking out for their parent state's other terrorist proxies, with your support.
You're the one simping for israel and supporting terrorism not me.
Also delusional. My only dog in the fight is the success of democracy for people who want it, i.e. the Israeli people, and fuck anyone who wants to take it from them, i.e. Hamas, Iran, North Korea, and all their little terrorist proxies and insane Islamic fundamentalist allies. If every single member of Hamas was dead, nothing of value would be lost, and Israel has the moral right to see that through, after October 7.
Civilians have been told to leave. 1.8 million Gazans did leave. Between 600,000 and 800,000 people did not. Nobody knows how many of those people were forced to stay behind by Hamas versus how many stayed willingly versus how many stayed because they could not leave.
Kinda insane we have terror apologists just running wild on lemmy calling for Genocide.

Wow a YouTube video. That'll prove it.
Israel is a "flawed" democracy, same as the US.
It is the only thing even remotely close to a democracy in any country in the middle east. In that sense, it is a precious diamond surrounded by shit.
An Apartheid where only certain people can vote is not a democracy.
Are you going to call Russia a democracy next? And the China? Honestly those are closer to democracies than israel since at least everyone there can vote for the same guy.
I'm not going to call it anything. Political science as a field calls Israel a democracy (because it is).
And Russia and China too right
Oh I wonder why that may be their message? Maybe because those two have a long history in the middle east in destabilizing it and killing innocent people? Do you honestly believe they hate us because they hate our freedom? Unbelievable.
