    But like clockwork, every time the Houthis are mentioned here, people chime in to talk about how they are heroes for fighting Israel. Which they aren’t even actually doing. Nothing they have ever done helps Palestine in any way. But they claim they’re fighting Israel, so apparently that’s all that matters.

    Meanwhile, they are responsible for the deaths of thousands of their own child soldiers. I’ve even had people handwave that away because they say they’re fighting Israel.

      Agree 100%. And same thing with Israel itself. I didn’t like the way they treated Palestine, but that doesn’t justify slaughtering teenagers at a music festival. Nothing does. Even if Israel is awful, no civilized person or society should ever condone killing unarmed kids at a concert.

      The ‘response’ has obviously become a war of terror against the Gaza area, which in it’s current form is equally unjustified. Makes me sick we (USA) continue to supply weapons for a punishment operation. Especially after it would seem Israel has gotten blood for blood revenge well past the 1000-for-1 level. It’s just needless suffering.

      But you try to say Israel was justified in SOME kind of armed response and it’s like you support Hitler.

      I don’t blame Hamas for wanting to hurt Israel. I blame them for choosing unarmed kids as their target. There’s no justification for that, ever.
