      I see. Murdering children is opposing global empire when the Houthis do it, so it’s acceptable.

        Why doesn’t anyone help the Palestinians? No not that way! They have to be absolutely perfect while we supply weapons for the Genocide!

          So the options to you are “absolutely perfect” or “child murderers just like Israel” and you are going with the latter.

          Guess it isn’t the deaths of innocent people you care about.

            They are attacking shipping boats of the worlds wealthiest elites and you are comparing them to israel intentionally massacring 15.00 children. Which is the reason they are attacking the ships.

            This is absolute insanity.

              Ah, so you don’t know anything about the Houthis and think all they’ve ever done is attack shipping boats.

              They literally use child soldiers. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/6/16/houthis-continue-to-recruit-child-soldiers-despite-yemen-truce

              Those are the righteous people you’re supporting. They send children to die in their war.

              Either you didn’t know about that or it’s not actually the death of innocent people you care about when it comes to Israel invading and bombing Gaza. I hope it’s the former and you’re not just bloodthirsty.

              Nearly 2,000 Houthi-recruited children were killed on the battlefield between January 2020 and May 2021, according to UN experts.

              That’s who you’re claiming it’s insanity to call monsters.

                Your outdated stats from 2020 are little relevant to their actions in the Red Sea. They are not sending children on suicide boats but autonomous boat drones.

                The Houthis actions in this conflict pertaining Gaza are absolutely stellar and have massively impacted the way israel and the rest of the Western world is world willing to continue this Genocide. Because in the end our government only cares about money.

                I can also bring up us murdering tens of millions of children in the last decades every single time someone brings up anything where we’re actually doing the correct thing.

                  Okay, you are now defending a group that uses child soldiers after being informed that they use child soldiers because that was four whole years ago and also some whataboutism. That sort of defense does not belong in this community. It may even be a TOS violation, but I will let others decide on that front. Either way, you will have to find somewhere else to defend a group that uses child soldiers.
