      Yeah, or the US just invades Yemen with global support, triggering the regional crisis Iran wanted.

      None of the regional powers actually care about Palestine outside of using it as a convenient political excuse.

        Some of the governments of various regional powers may not care. However the Palestinian cause has massive popular support.

        In Yemen I think it’s both. The Yemeni people were starved and bombed by the Saudis with lots of US support. It shouldn’t be surprising to anyone that they feel a deep sympathy for what Palestinians are going through.

        The US will lose to the Houthis faster than they did to the Taliban. The Houthis are far better soldiers than the Taliban an have already been dodging US made bombs for a decade.

        But hey, maybe it’ll stabilize Red Sea trade long enough for the Zionists to complete their genocide.

          There won’t be any goal to police Yemen afterward, which is where the US “lost” (and I’m using that word loosely).

            What’s so loose about surrendering Afghanistan back to the Taliban?

            So what will the goal be in Yemen theb? Just bomb them enough that they can’t threaten shipping? The Saudi’s bombed them for almost a decade. Or are we gonna put “boots on the ground” and occupy Yemen until Israel is done with its genocide? I dont think thats going to work well. Maybe we’ll sponsor the Islamic State to do it for us?

        Maybe the Houthi’s just take their slogan literally and have their own motivations? Everyone’s got to be a puppet though. Is Israel doing a genocide because the US told them to?

        I don’t know how you don’t see the difference between a political action like a blockade and actual violent Islamic terrorism. There seems to be a disconnect there. The blockade should be praised as a good thing when compared with all the other terrible actions that could’ve been chosen instead.

          The funny bit is that the guys he describes as “terrorists” are the ones doing a blockade to try to stop support from some international powers like the US for the XXI century Nazis who are doing their very own final solution on a people of a different etnicity in a ghetto created and militarilly controlled by those same Nazis.

          In other words, he’s claiming the people who actually have the highest moral ground in the greatest genocide of the XXI century (so far) are “terrorists”.

          Still, it makes sense that the kind of racist who thinks everybody in that region who follows Islam is a terrorist would be even more enraged that said “terrorists” are trying to stop actual material support for the Genocide being done by the XXI century Nazis who are mass murdering a different etnicity they deem to be “human animals”.

          You need to be quite the Nazi-lover to claim the 10,000 Palestinian children murdered so far by the guys who claim the entire etnic group they belong to are “human animals”, were Hamas.
