    What’s wrong with owning a ship in Liberia?

    Do you think most ships ‘Owned in Liberia’ are owned by Liberian citizens?

    Gave an example where the Houthis attacked and killed people on a ship that had nothing to do with Israel.

    Who owned the ship? Don’t insult my intelligence and say Liberia.

    When you cry racism about every thing is loses meaning.

    This isn’t everything. It’s an intentional racist term intended to delegitimize a government by equating it with a select group of people. There. You learned something today.

    Or should I start calling every Israeli a Netanyahu, every American a Kennedy, and every British person a Starmer?

    ‘The Kennedy’s seized another oil tanker on international waters today claiming it contained Iranian oil’

    Does that seem like an okay headline to you?

    EDIT: Maybe you’d like being called a Kennedy. Maybe Bushie would be a better example for you.

      I don’t need to insult your intelligence you’re more than capable. The ship was not owned by an Israeli or American company.

      A group named after its founder is racists?

      Or should I start calling every Israeli a Netanyahu, every American a Kennedy, and every British person a Starmer?

      You can call it what ever you want, I’m not so hypersensitive that I cry racism about every little thing.
