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.

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