“Operations in the Red and Arabian Seas, Bab al-Mandab Strait, and the Gulf of Aden are continuing, escalating, and effective,” Abdul Malik al-Houthi added in a televised speech. He gave no details of the submarine weapons.
Ships owned by individuals or entities in Israel, the U.S. and U.K. or sailing under their flags are banned from the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea, Thursday’s notices said.
“The Humanitarian Operations Center was established in Sanaa to coordinate the safe and peaceful passage of ships and vessels that have no connection to Israel,” a senior Houthi official told Reuters on Thursday.
No ships have been sunk nor crew killed during the Houthi campaign. However there are concerns about the fate of the UK-registered Rubymar cargo vessel, which was struck on Feb. 18 and its crew evacuated.
Sounds like we will keep blowing up their ability to attack civilian shipping.
There’s an easy way to end this and it costs nothing in terms of lives and money. Tell Israel to stop.
And why would Israel listen to that?
The Houthi blockade lifts the second israel stops their Genocide in Gaza,
their official slogan:
i have a hunch they’ll just be happy to see more dead jews
Interesting, because they seemed fine with Israeli/allied consumer shipping up until the genocide. it’s funny how that works
If you really think that’s the reason and not something else entirely, I’ve got a bridge in Tehran to sell to you.
Proving how much anti-semitsm israel spreading is by using Judaism as a shield for their crimes
so now you’re justifying anti-semitism?
just like neo-nazis giving excuses for their anti-semitism.
anti-semitism existed for centuries before israel
No I’m explaining the cause of anti-semitism. Which is israel. Israel keeps using the good Jewish name as a shield for their Genocide.
Only since israel started using Judaism as a shield for their Nazi behavior did this false correlation start.
Arabs have no problem with Jews. It was in Europe that Pogroms were a regular occurance.
Baghdad farhud 1941
Allahdad 1839 pogrom
Mawza Exile 1679-1680
Damascus Affair 1840
Granada Massacre 1066
1834 looting of Safed
Fez massacre 1033
Yemen
“In the late 1160s, the Yemenite ruler 'Abd-al-Nabī ibn Mahdi gave Jews a choice of conversion to Islam or martyrdom.”
(893) “Under the Zaydi rule, the Jews were considered to be impure and therefore forbidden to touch a Muslim or a Muslim’s food. They were obligated to humble themselves before a Muslim, to walk to the left side, and greet him first. They could not build houses higher than a Muslim’s or ride a camel or horse, and when riding on a mule or a donkey, they had to sit sideways. Upon entering the Muslim quarter a Jew had to take off his foot-gear and walk barefoot. If attacked with stones or fists by youth, a Jew was not allowed to fight them. In such situations, he had the option of fleeing or seeking intervention by a merciful Muslim passerby.”
Egypt
“In 1300 Sultan Al-Nasir Qalawan ordered all Jews under his rule to wear yellow headgear to isolate the Egyptian Jewish community. This law would be enforced for centuries and later amended in 1354 to force all Jews to wear a sign in addition to yellow headwear. On multiple occasions the ulema persuaded the government to close or convert synagogues. Even major places of pilgrimage for Egyptian Jews such as the Dammah Synagogue were forced to close in 1301. Jews subsequently were excluded from bath houses and were prohibited to work in the national treasury. This repression of the Jewish community would continue for centuries.”
and more
“In 1656, all Jews were expelled from Isfahan and forced to convert to Islam because of a common belief that their Jewishness was impure.”
“in 1661 they were allowed to revert to Judaism, although they were still required to wear a distinctive patch on their clothing.”
muslims made jews wear patches before the nazis did.
THE BRITS took over Baghdad and then did Pogroms. Let’s blame the Arabs!
Don’t look up what European colonialism had to do with Jewish persecution either that’s going to be very inconvenient.
I also clicked on the Damascus Affair 1840 link. Since you didn’t, I’ll help you out.
Spoiler alert: It’s Europe again:
And what about all of those other examples you have conveniently overlooked?
“According to Iraqi government and British historical sources violence started when a delegation of Jewish Iraqis arrived at the Palace of Flowers (Qasr al Zuhur) to meet with the Regent Abdullah, and were attacked en route by an Iraqi Arab mob as they crossed Al Khurr Bridge. Iraqi Arab civil disorder and violence then swiftly spread to the Al Rusafa and Abu Sifyan districts, and got worse the next day when elements of the Iraqi police began joining in with the attacks upon the Jewish population, involving shops belonging to it being set on fire and a synagogue being destroyed. Many Jewish girls were gang-raped and children maimed and killed in front of their families.”
“Shalom Darwish, the secretary of the Jewish community in Baghdad, testified that several days before the Farhud, the homes of Jews were marked with a red palm print (“Hamsa”), by al-Futuwa youth. Al-Sabawi also instructed Jews in Baghdad to pack suitcases and to wait to be taken to “detention camps” “for their own safety”.”
“Two days before the Farhud, Yunis al-Sabawi, a government minister who proclaimed himself the governor of Baghdad, summoned Rabbi Sasson Khaduri, the community leader, and recommended to him that Jews stay in their homes for the next three days as a protective measure. He had planned for a larger massacre, preparing to broadcast a call for the Baghdad public to massacre Jews. However, the broadcast was never made since al-Sabawi was forced to flee the country.”
planned and done by muslim iraqis.
not to mention all of the other massacres and anti-semitism cases i’ve linked.
but it’s pretty clear by this point you’ll justify any case of anti-semitism by arabs / muslims.
“A curse upon the Jews” must mean something different where you’re from.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_in_the_Arab_world
Jeez wonder why anti-semitism was virtually non-existent before the 20th century. And then suddenly all Arabs became anti-semitic.
Did someone start some kind of hostile ideology that wanted to take over the Arab world using Judaism as a shield?

So it’s only a blockade when white people do it? gotcha.
The Houthi’s have openly stated that they will lift their blockade whenever israel stops their Genocide.
For more information here’s a concise video
In that video, he argues Houthis are shooting ships delivering weapons to Israel. However, basically all of the ships the Houthis attacked were not even heading to or from Israel. Yemen does not have any moral leg to stand on when shooting civilians peaceably trading via the sea.
We will continue to destroy those attacking civilian shipping until they are no longer able to do so.
Edit: The Houthis just this week struck a ship carrying humanitarian aid to Yemen. Fuck the Houthis.
Every target they Houthi’s hit so far has been directly related to their claims. Claims that they were not related have been proven false. The recent oil tanker was British. The first big hijacked ship was israeli.
The ship you are talking about had a US flag. Do you see Russian flagged aid trucks going into to Ukraine too?
Yemen’s Houthi rebels fire missiles at ship bound for Iran, their main supporter
Houthis mistakenly target tanker carrying Russian oil, security firm says
The ship to Iran was American.
Massive props to the Houthi’s for being consistent in their blockade and not just allowing ships through because it would strategically benefit them.
Shipping companies are extremely secretive about their ownership. They fly one flag, are owned by someone else, but also used by another company that leases them etc.
The fact is: Every ship that has been hit so far did have ties to the countries that the Houthi’s are not allowing passage until their Genocide in israel is over.
Of course they “had ties”, international shipping ownership and flag choice is absolute chaos. You can justify almost anything to almost any vessel.
Attacking a civilian ship “Once registered in Britain” thousands of miles away from a country you claim to be blockading is absolutely not a valid target it’s an obvious war crime.
The defence of this shit undermines the entire opposition to Israel, the moral argument for stopping Israel from killing civilians is very clear but when the people arguing for it most strongly see attacking other civilians as perfectly fine the entire case starts to look like just a convenient cover for anti semetism.
Why are you lying?

That is one garbage Youtube channel. How can you recommend clickbait nonsense like this?
Explain exactly what is garbage. Do you want Yoav Gallant explaining everything?
