I was told that the massive and exorbitantly expensive air strikes solved this problem.
Well they're clearly asking for some more
after a decade of the US helping Saudis turn Yemen into a parking lot, they can strike Israel and control the red sea.
makes me wonder what they fuck where they bombing that Yemen can still fight?

Wait, the Signal chat told me that this was solved for evar...
A military enforced trade blockade is too much for some people to handle who think battling a state responsible for genocide can be done without violence... which is exactly what a military specializes in.
Of course now that the US has gone home, no one is there to intercept all the antiship missiles, so any vessel aiming for Israel should really take the alternative route.
Of course now that the US has gone home
What do you mean? A 2nd carrier group just got there ...
The Houthis targeted plenty of ships not going to Israel.
The part where this goes off the rails in the public discourse is that people are broadly absolutely fucking STUCK in linear, binary thinking, I can list a thousand examples of this in every-day-life and it's a weakness that governments exploit daily. For some reason our species can live comfortably in the cognitive dissonance about things like faith and reason existing alongside each other, but cannot fathom the idea that bad people can fight other bad people and they're both bad. Or that people lie in ways that appeal to your own feelings to try to get public sympathy behind their own agenda.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Sea_crisis
The Houthis say that any Israel-linked ship is a target,[90][87][88] including US and UK warships, but they have also attacked the ships of many nations with no connection to Israel.[91][92] From October 2023 to March 2024, the Houthis attacked more than 60 vessels in the Red Sea.
They're pirates. If the genocide stopped tomorrow, they would still be fighting for their own political agendas and of course the wealth onboard these giant ships full of goods, including food, aid and other vital supplies destined for countries unrelated to Israel, Yemen or Palestine.

Man, just imagine doing your job, living at the other side of the world, spending months on sea to bring back some money for your family, and then some cunts just kill you because of a conflict you might not even know exists
Man, imagine watching a live steamed genocide for two years and when a few people get hurt because they're working on a ship that supports the genocide, that's when you feel empathy.
You can literally feel empathy for both though?
Is there a master list of ships that support genocide, so that I don’t end up on one?
If the port you are bound for is one of the following, you should not be on that ship to not become complicit in war crimes and crimes against humanity:

You can't transit the area and not know. I'm pretty sure theres been a maritime advisement for like a decade generally and for Liberia there's been a specific warning provided to relevant shipping companies and captains. It would be like sailing the coast of Somalia and saying you didn't know theres a pirate issue.
I would be nice if people broadly opposed bombing ANYONE but even here, a site that appeals largely to self-proclaimed leftists and progressives like this is just oozing with as much bloodlust as you would see from the worst people we condemn.
This bloodlust for the deaths of others is why we have a genocide raging to begin with. Why can't we all be better and be consistent.
Lol don't bother. Each time I say something similar (ie. everyone should calm the f down), I get downvoted into oblivion. What's even more ironic is that I got downvoted for saying we don't need another genocide.
"A conflict you might not even know exists" see that's just bullshit. Not only is Israel's genocide reported heavily across the globe, if you run a shipping company, it is your responsibility to at least be somewhat aware of the regional conflicts in the area you transport goods to and from. Also, if there's a military blockade threatening all vessels who enter a port, it is also your responsibility to not put your employees in danger by trying to bypass that blockade with no assurances of safety. I would hold the owners of this vessel/company accountable for prioritizing profit and getting these people killed.

Parent company of the ship had other ships which delivered to Israeli ports. Sad that they used human shields for their complicity in genocide.
Wait so the targeted ship wasn't even going to Israel? Wasn't that the whole point of the blockade, not just attacking anyone vaguely related to Israel?
Ships related to Israel. The parent company very directly violated the blockade so they have become a target.
The number of people in this thread defending this shitstain terrorist organization is unreal.
You do realize you can be anti-Israel without supporting literal terrorists?

From this BBC article: "It is the second vessel the Houthis have sunk in a week, after the group on Sunday launched missiles and drones at another Liberian-flagged, Greek-operated cargo ship, Magic Seas, which they claimed "belong[ed] to a company that violated the entry ban to the ports of occupied Palestine".....The group has said it is acting in support of the Palestinians in the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, and have claimed - often falsely - that they are targeting ships only linked to Israel".
From The Times of Israel: "Both the Eternity C and Magic Seas were part of commercial fleets whose sister vessels have made calls to Israeli ports over the past year."
These quotes do not contradict each other.
The time of israel lol

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline

- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
