    Utter bellend. So “self-defense”, killing Yemeni people, who are putting economic pressure on Israel, slowing the delivery of arms, who haven’t killed a single person, is totally fine. But stopping an actual genocide, is a no.

    They go to war to protect profits and give diplomatic cover to a genocidal ethnostate. The whole thing is fucked. It shows you how little they care about any of us.

    Racist imperialist fucks.

      One, the strikes killed five Houthi members and injured four others, zero civilians were harmed. Second, how does firing missiles at civilian ships, many of which have no links to Israel, put pressure on Israel?

          Yeah, leftist foreign policy can be annoying. One the one hand, they’ll (we’ll?, I am a socialist) correctly point out how violent occupation creates the material conditions for Palestinians to want to join reactionary groups like Hamas and that the only way to end Hamas is to end the occupation.

          But as soon as America/any western nation is involved, all analysis is thrown out and they’ll just start reiterate verbatim the talking points of some of the most reactionary groups on Earth, because all western foreign policy is just forever wars for the MIC.

          Also, you should use they/them as they don’t specify their pronouns in their name or bio.
