    Yeah I’m generally anti us military action and I don’t want this to turn into a war again, but this really does feel like a fuck around and find out situation. US troops have been killed and strikes have continued against our ships.

        Houthis weren’t attacking before things got so unhinged.

        You think the Houthis are innocent babes? You should look into the war crimes they’ve committed. Maybe get a translation of the slogan they’ve had for decades “Death to America, Death to Israel, A Curse Upon the Jews.” They’re antisemitic psychopaths.

        Be a little more careful in choosing your allies, ok?

            Yeah I’m not Jewish. I used to think a Jewish state wasn’t necessary to provide a safe haven for Jews for times when antisemitism rises in the cycle that’s been happening for centuries. Not that I was against there being a Jewish state, just didn’t think it was an imperative. Antisemitism isn’t going to come back, not after we’ve all seen the horrors of the holocaust.

            Comments like yours have convinced me that yeah, there actually does need to be a Jewish state.

            I’m not even Jewish but you’re throwing slurs at me because of incorrect assumptions you’re making based out of hatred. Israelis don’t need to prove the necessity of a Jewish state. Your hatred proves it.

      And not just our ships, but global trade ships. A blatant attempt to disrupt the global economy, which much of the world relies on the world’s largest navy to protect.
