No, you see, the Houthis attacking the ships of non-Israeli countries passing through one of the most heavily used route in world trade is just Doing Their Part to destroy the Zionist Occupiers(tm) and is their Sovereign Right

Remember, the Houthis exist as an act of rebellion against the same government that is being referred to in the article.

Not to mention that whole conflict in Yemen is armed by US weapons sold to the Saudis. Over 150,000 civilian deaths and 70,000 starved in a purposeful famine. All assisted by the US across multiple presidencies

The houthis are armed by Iran, right? So only the government side is armed third hand from the US?
