    Let’s not blow it out of proportion. I disagree with attacking trade routes, but there have been no casualties.

    However 12000+ Palestinians have died.

    As a civilian, I don’t want to enter a warzone or a disputed route. These people are choosing to and should be protected. However, let’s not pretend it’s not a one sided conflict, based on genocide, which Israeli government ministers have advocated for.

    I don’t own any kind f those ships, but if I did, I’d find a different route. It started with just protests against ships stopping at Israel. I wish it stayed there. How many ships can stop at Gaza with humanitarian supplies?

      Because Western military ships have been busy intercepting drones and rockets. This is just the first time we’ve hit back.

      Okay, how is that the fault of civilian ships going through international waters?

      Until the Houthis starting firing, it wasn’t a warzone or a disputed route. The route isn’t in Israeli territorial waters. It’s nowhere near Gaza or Israel.

      I don’t own any kind f those ships, but if I did, I’d find a different route.

      The only other route is all the way around Africa.

      You do understand that the ship attacks we’re talking about in this thread are happening 1000 miles away from Israel at the clear other end of the Red Sea, right? It’s nowhere near the Gaza warzone (which borders a different sea entirely – the Mediterranean), nor is it even “disputed” by anybody legitimate.

      Literally nothing about this, except the Houthi terrorists’ choice of timing, has anything to do with Israel.

      It’s a tough situation, but attacking civilians is not a valid way of protesting Israels’ attacks on civilians.
