Nothing to say about the Houthis per se but in a just world of course someone would be coming to the aid of Gazans, including with military force if necessary. It's a couple million people being bombed and starved. The fact you can't say that in polite society is some indictment of polite society. - ThreadSky

Netanyahu's threats of retaliation are all over the news. His daily acts of cold blooded murder go by unremarked.

By any objective definition of what the term “terrorist” means, the State of Israel will fit that description more than Hamas or the Houthis do. But my country deems Israel an ally and Hamas the enemy: and uses the term “terrorist” subjectively.

Seems to me the US, killing civilians in Yemen for years in violation of our own law and international law, are at least as much terrorists…

poems4themasses.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’d completely agree: international law had no definition for “terrorist “. The term is defined by national laws, so obviously these are biased terms favorable to individual countries. Completely depends on context.

It worked so well with the “war on drugs.” The oppressors realized they could go to war with an abstract concept and use it to justify literally anything.

bombed and starved

for

decades

that was their plan all the way back to the late 1800s

The brave heroic Isrealis wouldn't do this shit to someone who could bomb the shit of them. IDF are cowards. Imagine if the British army had done this in Northern Ireland. Dropped the Divis flats in the middle of the night because an IRA man was in there. Madness.

Abominations that will never be forgiven, history will remember this forever, no matter how hard they try to erase it.

Have you noticed anybody in opposition to Ethnic Cleansing and Genocide - Yemen, Iran or even Palestine protesters like Ozturk and Mahdawi detained and not charged but indefinitely held? Why is that? Anybody

rottenapples.bsky.social•3 days ago

I lived in Lebanon for 8 years and never had much use for Hezbollah. Since the genocide began, I’ve changed my views on many things.

jesshardie.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s really devastating that we’re all just supposed to watch a population starve lest we be seen as radicals (I am a radical but my opposition to genocide is one of my least radical stances).

..i think at this point most people have realized the "high level of control" was never actually a 'trope'

djdynamic.ca•2 days ago

Yeah regardless of whether the Houthis are "good" or not (they don't seem to be!) it's still the case that "going to war to end a genocide" is a widely accepted and indeed expected behaviour of non-rogue nations (allegedly)

grumpy-bloke.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'll say it.
The Houthis need more and better weapons so that they can lessen the Zionist threat to women and children in Gaza

buhooscuro.bsky.social•2 days ago

Apparently the Houthis have already learned how to mucked about with Musk's Starlink sysrem and knock out his satellites.

gaudd.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yemen is acting to stop genocide, the West is attacking them for doing so while enabling and participating in that genocide, Let's think about that for a minute and try to come to any other conclusion that if the West is one thing, it is certainly not a polite society.

notoisrael.bsky.social•2 days ago

The Houthis are doing what other countries should have done in the beginning. They’re hardly terrorists. But, those countries that don’t do anything to help the Palestinians are what I would define as terrorists by their inaction.

quirkyhndl.bsky.social•2 days ago

Only difference between a freedom fighter and a terrorist is which side you’re on.

barrygoldman1.bsky.social•3 days ago

i don't remember 'polite society' as ever being polite. it's always the polite that are massacreing some other people

automatonowl.bsky.social•3 days ago

Politeness, and kindness are very different things, and the former often comes without the latter.

gthanku.bsky.social•3 days ago

the Israel exception is insane and it's undoing the countries facilitating this genocide, it was certainly a factor in Trump's reelection and the Dem party's refusal to reckon with it keeps making things worse here in the US also

blackjackgabbiani.bsky.social•3 days ago

A society that ignores the suffering of others isn't polite at all.

buhooscuro.bsky.social•3 days ago

They won't because Gaza is incentive for western governments and private investorq to test AI-assisted killing machines. That is what they are hiding.
