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.
Add it to the pile of Israeli war crimes
Israel is not responsible for the child murders of the Houthis. Only the ones they commit themselves.
Fair. But not great that everyone is supporting Saudis instead of actually doing peace keeping just like they do when looking other when Israel does whatever it wants
Believe me, you won't hear me praising the Saudis either. Especially not after the Mecca girls' school fire. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Mecca_girls%27_school_fire
And that's not even taking 9/11 into account.
Israel hasn’t been fighting these child soldiers. They were part of the Yemeni civil war.

I'm sorry, that sounds really traumatic and I hope it hasn't followed you with additional trauma.
