The problem with the Israeli attacks i gaza is not the attacks themselves. Israel should have the right to defend themselves on all sides.
The problem is, that in Palestine they are using this as an excuse to kill as many civilians as they can get away with. This is genocide. They are more or less regulating the population of Palestine, and arguing that they in reality are fighting Hamas. The civilians are unfortunate accidents (that more or less keep on happening day in and day out)
Because cowering behind civilians in the hopes their deaths garner sympathy is totally not in the terrorist handbook
If a serial killer runs into a school you don't bomb the school. Well, I wouldn't consider it justified, but apparently Israelis do.

I for one don’t think you can ever justify killing civilians, let along tens of thousands of them.
Then again, I’m not a monster so 🤷

Iran has been fighting a proxy conflict against Israel through the Houthis, Hezbollah, and Hamas since 1985.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Israel_proxy_conflict
How is a state that's largely funded by another state not a proxy for the bigger state? It's not a Israel Iran proxy war. It's a us Iran proxy war
Iran has been supplying the Houthis, Hezbollah, and Hamas with munitions, intel, and training to support attacks on Israel.
And the US has been doing the same for Israel
… Israel will sink our ships if they find them inconvenient.
Perhaps, but they'd do it with missiles that we designed and gave them. -- this is the problem.

Israel is a sovereign nation. According to international law, they are held responsible for their actions. The same law does not apply to independent rebel groups, putting the responsibility on Iran.
If Israel can declare itself a sovereign nation on another peoples land there is no reason rebel groups cannot call themselves legitimate rulers. Anyone can call themselves anything.

Possibly because this is retaliation for drone strikes and not part of the "war against Hamas."
People have been warning from day 1 about the possibility of a regional escalation.
Apparently you cannot spend months acting in a way that neighboors who already don't like you find morally reprehensible without some of those neighbors inserting themselves into the conflict.
The real question is how long can Iran avoid getting dragged into that. And if Iran gets involved directly, will we be able to contain this to a regional war, or will this small decades old conflict between parties whose total population is only about 12 million become the trigger for world war 3.

Maybe someone mumbled "they have hummus" and everyone else just rolled with it?
Keep appealing to those flimsy technicalities. Totally working!

FYI: Houthis recruit and have been responsible for the battliefield deaths of thousands of child soldiers.
Neither side is the good guy here.
Neither is good, but bombing the child soldiers feels worse.
Once you're responsible for the deaths of thousands of children, I don't think it's a "which is worse" contest.
Because really, you don't get much worse than murdering thousands of children.

Fuck Israel
Yes, fuck them. They should let peaceful Houtis keep bombing ships and innocent people. Poor terrorists, can't even terror in peace these days.

To paraphrase: "The Houthis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everybody else and nobody was going to bomb them."
Maybe don't bomb people, and, failing that, don't be surprised when they bomb you back.
Funny, works with "The Israelis entered..." too.
Funnier still how the headlines on certain publications work. Houthis bomb Israel, Israel bombs them back; headline is "Israel bombs Yemen in Escalation with Houthis".
Yeah, it should just say "Yemenis die amid bombing".
hopefully they try to open a third front with Lebanon and seal the deal on the end of their apartheid settler project 🙏

The Houthis have been cruisin' for a bruisin'
Houthis have been getting bombed of more than four years now by United States and Saudi Arabia. Israel ain't gonna do shit.
The efforts of ansarallah have been nothing short of heroic
Behold 'heroism' in all its glory!
I'm really getting tired of people casting these murderers in a good light just because they're fighting Israel.
Not every fight has a good side and a bad side. Sometimes they're both bad sides. If North Korea and Mynamar went to war, I would hope no one here would be cheering either side on.

Yes, Israel escalated this. When they bomb innocent trade ships, that's fine, that's not escalation that's just tuesday and they are being cute.
