    Part of the comment you responded to:

    One of Israel’s ports is going bankrupt as a direct result of the Houthi blockade.

    The Houthis are accomplishing something, and their real goals align with defeating the world’s hegemonic evil.

      You agreed that it didn’t help Gazans. Which was my point. They claim they are helping Gazans. They are not.

      And, again, they do the exact same things Israel is doing- Killing thousands of people including children. You are ignoring that, which I also said that people like yourself do.

      One mass murdering group is good to you because you don’t like a different mass murdering group and neither do they. That’s some bullshit reasoning if the reason you don’t like the latter group is because of all the murder.

        Hurting Israel’s economy punishes them for hurting Gazans, even if it doesn’t directly stop them.

        You seem to be under the impression that I don’t like political violence on principal. Not the case. I don’t like political violence that is on the side of perpetuating global empire, and I like political violence that is opposed to it. What you’re doing, by flattening all political violence into just “violence bad”, is a rhetorical tactic that promotes the status quo by demonizing all groups that fight against it.

        The Houthis are fighting against the Saudi-backed puppet regime in North Yemen. They are not going to someone else’s country, ethnically cleansing the group that’s already there, and laying claim to it. They are enforcing a naval blockade in order to economically punish a country that is committing genocide, they are not perpetuating one themselves.
