People have died in pirate attacks before.

Recently, ships have been hit with missiles.

A lot more people could die if the attacks are not stopped or avoided.

sounds like they need to put some pep in their step stopping the ongoing genocide then

You realize it's just an excuse for them to attack, right?

man i wish there were some way to test that theory

maybe we could do sort of a 'stopping the ongoing genocide' test run, see how they respond

and then keep it going indefinitely because genocide is bad

They flew in with a Palestinian flag on their helicopter. Their own flag say's death to Israel and America; the nations doing the genocide and sponsoring the genocide. And all of this is after they just survived a genocide at the hands of the Saudi's with US bombs and went on to win the war.

Maybe, just maybe, they mean what they say.

Why would they attack international shipping if not to stop genocide?

There is no reason for them to do this aside from being the only people with enough morals to step up against Genocide Joe.

They are being directed to attack ships indiscriminately by Iran. If they wanted to fight genocide for real, a naval blockade without weapons would do the trick. This is just terrorism.

Edit: jfc, I don't just pull this shit out of my ass.

  • Yemen: I'm blockading the Red Sea to stop the genocide in Gaza.
  • US: Iran, please tell Yemen to stop.
  • Iran: lol no, this is righteous.

Somehow this makes them Iran's puppets. Oh well, guess we'll have to do "Operation Enduring Freedom part 2: Prosperity Guardian". Can't just tell Bibi to stop.

The ships have already received warnings not to pass through and they decide to ignore them.

Also there are tunnels and a command center beneath the ships so Yemen has the right to defend themselves.

"a naval blockade without weapons", also known as 'asking nicely to pwease stop'
