    The Houthis are blocking Israeli ports in response to genocide.

    Why were US ships going to the ports of a country actively committing genocide?

    The US is now bombing a sovereign nation to stop trade sanctions on a genocide.

      They’re attacking commercial shipping vessels passing through the suez canal that have nothing to do with Israel or Palestine or the US. If you knew how how to read or think you’d already know this.

      You don’t get to seal off a critical global shipping route just because you happen to be living next to it and don’t like where some of the cargo is going. This isn’t like the bosphorous, even a recognized Yemeni government wouldn’t have control over who can transit the strait unless they invaded Djibouti

      Why were US ships going to

      They weren’t. While you may disagree with US Navy hanging out in the area, they’re in international waters and not trying to go to Israel. You could argue that attacking US ships proves the blockade story is a farce
