Why isn’t the US doing anything to stop the genocide in Gaza? “Death to America” is nothing compared to enabling a genocide which both the current and past administrations are guilty of. Enforcing a naval blockade on Israel is hardly criminal when Israel is intentionally starving and slaughtering Palestinians.
But even if the Houthis are as bad as you claim, even worse than the US or Israel, how does that justify targeting hospitals and civilians?
You didn’t respond to the part about targeting hospitals and civilians. The moral conclusion here is the same as with Israel’s targeting of civilians in their so-called “war against Hamas.” Hamas and the Houthis are terrorist organizations that grew out of victimhood and justify hatred against their oppressors in the name of resistance. They are victims, but because they aren’t perfectly moral in their resistance you condemn their entire people to indiscriminate bombing. The saddest thing about this is that it won’t eliminate the terrorist groups, only bolster their support and make them more resentful.
And the largest terrorist organization - the US military - will continue its campaign of terror, creating ever more.
That’s because all of that is immaterial to my point which is that any opposition party in the USA should not be lead by people who think the Houthi Militia are worth supporting.
That’s a very convenient principle to have when opposing the indiscriminate bombing of civilians is conflated with support for terrorism. Just because I don’t think we should be bombing them doesn’t mean I support the Houthis, and I don’t have to align myself with them to acknowledge that they are right to enact an economic blockade against Israel to pressure them to stop their genocide.
Again my point was that I would want any opposition party in the USA to have enough awareness of global politics to know The Houthi Militia will not get US support
And again, there’s a whole lot of room between giving the Houthis US support and bombing every civilian who happens to be in close proximity to them.
The Houthi are not making a blockade. They are murdering sailors on boats and claiming solidarity with Palestine.
Which is worse, violently resisting a genocide or enacting one? I don’t think the Houthis should be murdering sailors, but even though they are overzealous in this instance they still clearly have the moral high ground, not because they are particularly moral but because the bar has been set so low.
