Actually they can’t, they have a legal obligation under the UN Convention on Genocide to take extra-territorial actions in order to stop or prevent genocide. They are acting within international law. The ships going to Israel despite the active genocide are violating international law and complicit in the genocide themselves.

I don't even know where to begin with this idiocy.

How do the Houthis know which ships are going to Israel? Can you prove they’ve only attacked ships bound for Israel?

Why is there a 39 nation coalition organizing against the Houthis? Aren’t a lot of those nations opposing Israel’s current actions?

Do you know the Houthis slogan of, “Death to America, Death to Israel, Death to the Jews, Victory to Islam”?

You’re fighting for the wrong side buddy

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.

[–] BB69 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Unbelievable that you defend those attacking random supply ships.

If they’re innocent, why is there a coalition formed against them?

[–] NoLifeGaming 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So your logic is if there is a collation formed against someone then they're bad? What about the axis powers during WW2? They had a coalition against some countries does that mean those countries are bad??

[–] BB69 -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There were significantly less nations allied in the axis than what formed against them.

Nice try tho

[–] NoLifeGaming 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not that your logic makes any sense to begin with because whats right or wrong isn't dependent on the coalition but, the coalition is only the US and the UK with support (whatever that means) from Australia, Bahrain, Canada and the Netherlands. That's only 2 countries, If we stretch the "support" that's 6 countries. The axis powers had 10 countries.

From the link you posted:

Last month, the United States launched Operation Prosperity Guardian—a coalition of more than 20 nations committed to defending international shipping and deterring Houthi attacks in the Red Sea. We also joined more than 40 nations in condemning Houthi threats. Last week, together with 13 allies and partners, we issued an unequivocal warning that Houthi rebels would bear the consequences if their attacks did not cease. And yesterday, the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution demanding the Houthis end attacks on merchant and commercial vessels.

Where are you inventing those bullshit numbers?

[–] NoLifeGaming 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah and that original coalition fell. Why did they state that its only the US and UK that are conducting the bombing? You clearly lack reading comprehension. Do support what israel is doing by indiscriminately bombing civilians?
