    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.

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