      So how does bombing them change any of that? Their immediate demands are that Israel ends their genocidal campaign against Palestinians in Gaza. If Israel complies and the Houthis continue their attacks the world is still better off so why not try that before resorting to violence?

            And this is relevant to indiscriminately firing into international shipping lanes how?

                How did they not? Surely you can’t be arguing that the civilian shipping vessels did something to deserve being fired upon?

                    Which civilians? The retaliatory strike targeted military targets only, and was intentionally telegraphed to destroy weapons with minimal loss of life.

                    If you’re talking about previous conflicts in Yemen, those are completely irrelevant to the recent attacks on commercial shipping.
