Good to see someone with the balls to stand up to genocide
Terrorists is just code for Arabs attacking civilians. Non-arabs attacking Arab civilians, it's called "the U.S. military" or "IDF".
Only one side gets called "terrorist" though.
Why do you think that is?
Does that make it ok? Answer: no. It doesn't.
Listen, its their Gulf of Adan, they can do what they want. Its called National Sovereignty.
Do you see anyone telling Americans what they can do in their Gulf of Mexico? Of course not. Invade Haiti. Bomb Grenada. Embargo Cuba for 60 years. That's called 2nd Amendment Rights, bucko. Maybe learn to read a copy of the US motherfucking Constitution.
But a couple of Arabs want to fire off a few bottle rockets in their backyard and suddenly the Liberal Nanny State has to pull up on the coast and tell them to cut it out? Get lost Grandpa Biden. You're not the boss here. You can't even find Mecca on a map.
Did I say any of the things you listed were ok either? Its not "bottle rockets". Innocent people lost their lives.
You're lucky you're priveleged enough to be able to maintain such a heartless worldview. I hope nothing so awful ever happens to you or those you love.
And yes, I do know where Mecca is. Its in Saudi Arabia next to the Red Sea. If you want to fight strawmen, then turn off the computer and go outside.
The ship violated sovereign territory in the middle of a siege. Blockade running isn't an innocent act. Every smuggler knows that.
Yes yes. Guy on the internet says other guy on the internet is privileged.
I'll try not to charge a slow moving cargo ship through an active war zone.
If you think you know where Mecca is, go on and pray towards it. Go ahead, I'll wait.
LMAO you're the guy on the Internet who claimed I was ignorant without any knowledge about me. If you want to make ad hominem attacks, don't be surprised when you get them back. Can't take your own medicine?
I'm sad ppl like you exist.
You've been hearing that a lot lately, eh?
Nope, I haven't. Only from you. You're fighting strawmen you made up yourself once again.
“Terrorists”
The Palestinians have a right to struggle against their occupiers by all available means, including armed struggle.
So you agree that war is barbaric and soldiers are terrorists? Something we can agree on.
Hey now, when they're attacking Evil Russian Soviets in the mountains of Afghanistan, I like to call those Princes of the House of Saud my friends.
This Post Is Dedicated To The Brave Mujaheddin Fighters of Afghanistan
In case you're confused this is a reference to a Rambo movie that had this lovely dedication.
Its funny, because it actually didn't have this. (Or, literally this)

The edited end-card was made as a joke, back in 2004, and circulated so many times online that it eventually became headcannon.
That's an interesting fact, but honestly it might as well really have had this endcard, since the movie openly glorifies the mujahedeen anyways.
