Houthi militia unsuccessfully retaliates after it said U.S. strikes on Yemen killed 53

“We are confronting this criminal aggression and responding to escalation with escalation,” the Iran-backed militia said in a media statement.

Summary

U.S. airstrikes on Houthi-held areas of Yemen killed at least 31 and injured 101, according to the Houthi health ministry.

The strikes followed renewed Houthi attacks on shipping, which they say are in response to Israel’s blockade of Gaza.

A Houthi spokesperson vowed retaliation, stating, “Our response will not be delayed.” Trump warned Iran to stop supporting the Houthis, while Iran distanced itself from the group.

The conflict has disrupted Red Sea shipping, prompting the U.S. to redesignate the Houthis as a terrorist organization earlier this month.

    So… you’re just cool with the whole gender apartheid thing? Islam and Christianity need to go with both - the world would be a lot better off

    It should go without saying, obviously genocide is awful and I don’t support that.

    Edit: and not partaking in gender apartheid doesn’t sound like too crazy of a standard to hold a society to with its own people…

      Watch out the pinkwashining brigade has arrived.

      Tad hard to take le epic atheism seriously when secularism is at its umpteenth genocide since its prominence on the world stage.

      The Houthis are risking their lives to stop a genocide and somehow you believe people will take you seriously if you tell them that they are not good enough to do so?

          You are supporting governments perpetrating a genocide over governments standing up against genocide. You might one day notice your words about freedom ring a tad hollow when you support the worlds largest concentration camp. “lmao”.

            … who said I support them? I certainly didn’t. I just think Iran/Russia and their proxies are shit as well.

            By all means if people rise up in the US against our corrupt government, I’ll be one of the first to grab my gun and be out on the streets.

              Sure Iran and Yemen have plenty of faults. But they are the people grabbing the gun and rising up against the US backed genocide. By all means you or any other party is extremely welcome to showcase their moral superiority by outdoing Iran or Yemen in this.

                Problem here is that conservatives are the armed ones and they’re the ones running the show with the govt. Anything that isn’t planned on a massive scale would be for naught and end up with us dead or in prison for life.

                  I do not recall Americans being more receptive to violent resistance against genocide under the Democrats. If anything even less.

                  But the Houthis were doing this under the Democrats as well. They are nonpartisan like that.

                  Anything that isn’t planned on a massive scale would be for naught and end up with us dead or in prison for life.

                  Like for example a collective demand to massively hinder the economies of participating countries with a shipping blockade unless the genocide ends?
