Wow.... so you're telling me you took an action that resulted in the death of one person.... to save the lives of many people... who would have died if you did nothing??? that sounds so familiar

  • The kid isn't a Houthi. They flew out civilians to the boat as a sort of tourist attraction.
  • He was trying to humanize a human, oh no how terrible.
  • While the kid isn't Houthi, they've been incredibly clear their interference is entirely based on solidarity with the Palestinians getting genocided. They are attempting to apply pressure to stop it, which I think is a good thing (even if it might disrupt the global flow of treats).
  • Yemen was being genocided while he was a child, and the kid is a survivor of the genocide (one the US funded and facilitated). The comparison isn't perfect, but apt.
  • He says every damn day how antisemitism isn't OK, and he doesn't agree with the flag. Do remember Israel is the one cynically hiding behind Judaism for the actions of their state. This isn't an excuse, but it is contextually important for why Yemeni people might hold antisemitic opinions.

Well thankfully they also not voted for Trump which was indirect support for the better genocide.

Manufactured consent

But the poster claimed they voted for a worse genocide. I'm saying they didn't vote.

I mean, Kamala really wanted Republicans in the white house with her. I bet she's elated to see how many will be in there now.

Last I checked Trump lost 3 million voters since last election, and Harris lost 10 million.

The couch won. It's not like people were suddenly won over by a person they've likely seen through 3 election cycles.

The Democratic party or a campaign can't fail, they can only be failed, right OP?

All it would take is threatening an arms embargo. Presidents have stopped Israel via a single phone call before, and they need our billions of dollars worth of bombs to continue. Don't act like we're powerless small beans here.

Worst case, they keep going but not on our dime and not with our support.
