    Because zionist central bankers own our politicians through Aipac snd CUFI donations. The houthi are waging against the zionist state of israel to free the Palestinian people under oppressive occupation and genocide funded by our tax dollars

      It’s opec that’s the money here, lots and lots of oil goes around there and the major target are opec owned oil tankers held hostage for payment. It’s arguably a money laundering scheme but still.

      You got a source on those goals? Because the Houthis are pretty bad ngl. Seriously, read up on who they are and how they want to deal with LGBTQ+ people, women, and other religions.

      Not saying our administration would be correct if it said in a public statement that the sky is blue, but forceful response to their piracy is pretty much globally condoned and one of those “someone has to do it” chores that come with being a powerful nation. The houthis didn’t give a shit about palestine before Israel started this latest genocide, they’re just desperate for the support of naive progressives around the world. They want to build an old-school islamist state and all the trappings that come with it.

      edit: The situation with the Houthis is more about Iran and US than it is about Gaza/israel, PLEASE I beg of you to read up on the timeline and history before trying to argue with me and understand that the world is more nuanced than you want it to be, and in fact I challenge you to read up on this story and its history and NOT be disappointed on some level. There is no “good guy” in this, everyone is shit. Also I am turning off inbox replies so I don’t have to argue with reactionaries. Save your energy.

        US “journalism” since the Reagan and bush sr. administrations both vetoed attempts to legislate the fairness in media doctrine have become blatant capitalist propaganda. Of course the west is going to condemn any rebel group that aims to re appropriate resources stolen from the people by repressive oligarchs like the saudi’s and other nations complicit in the western exploitation of looted third world resources for pennies on the dollar in the name of maximizing corporate profits. Im pretty sure the british said some nasty things after the boston tea party too. Rebels are always looked at as terrorists to those in power who commit war crimes with impunity. Those with the money who own the media dictate the narrative.

          I am speaking from my experience in logistics and the perspectives that come with it. Everyone in here has a massive “US-centered” perspective of the world’s systems. The issue with Houthis isn’t just a US issue and it’s not just about “Western goods.” I highly encourage reading up more about the region, shipping and logistics, and what goods and services are used by who and for what, it’s a much more complicated picture than anyone in this post understands, myself included, so everyone here who is looking for a group’s cock to bounce on needs to back up and take a beat.

      You’re putting the horse before the cart here. US politicians fund Israel because they feel Israel is useful for their geopolitical goals in the region. When they want to bomb Iran, they don’t do it themselves and risk retaliations to their ships, they have Israel do it. Also Israel is great for the US military industrial complex. Korea can’t put “tested in Gaza” on their weapons like Lockheed can.

        You may believe this is the case but it really is not. Look at the uss liberty incident. The us allowed Israel to attack a us naval vessel with impunity. Our entire political system in the us is owned and controlled by transnational multi billion dollar military and prison industry profiteers. they don’t have any allegiance to the population of the usa besides their own class who all seem to vehemently support the same cause of the zionist ethno state of israel and the perpetuation of an obvious genocide against the indigenous inhabitants of Palestine. This all goes back to the rothschild family, the balfour declaration Theodore Herzl and the several Zionist terrorist paramilitary Groups that waged terror across the levant from the earliest moments of the 20th century until 1948 when the British occupation of palestine ended and the british empire gave control of Palestine to zionist leaders who then condemned the terrorists groups who carried out violent bombings, attacks assassinations and instigated riots that were responsible for the deaths of several thousand Palestinian jews, Christians Muslims as well as American expats, British citizens and British troops stationed in Palestine. But despite condemning these criminals the ranks of their terrorist groups (hagannah, irgun, palmach and lehi) were welcomed into the newly formed govenrment as well as the IDF and mossad and many of the current zionist politicians in the likud party and other Zionist political factions have direct familial ties to members of these terrorist groups. These wealthy individuals who had the power connections and means to form these paramilitary organizations still have family members directly involved in central banking institutions such as the IMF world bank wall street and other connected institutions. These are people who consider themselves far beyond reproach and above governments. The rothschild family has spent a lot on PR to cleverly deflect any criticism of their wealth and how they use it as anti semitism but the Zionist movement would not be what it is today without the blood money of this central banking family of genocidal war mongers

          You’re just doing antisemitic conspiracy but writing “zionist” instead of Jew.

          The British handed the occupation to the Zionists because it was cheaper to have someone else do the colonization and a convenient way to remove Jewish people from Britain. Lord Balfor was wildly antisemitic.

            Lmao. Balfour was a puppey for lord rothschild. The balfour declaration pretty much stated they intended to give palestine to the zionists way before 1948.

            Theodore herzl went to Rothschild and asked for 15 million pounds (over 2 billion in today’s money) to buy Palestine from the ottomans but rothschild refused because why would they pay for it when he already owned the British empire through financial dominance. So he pressured the british to take it from the ottomans and then clandestinely funded all these Zionist terrorist groups to make it prohibitively expensive for the British to maintain their occupation and subsequently hasten the transfer of the land to the Zionists

            Not all people of the jewish faith are Zionists. Many Palestinian jews were slaughtered by Zionists during their terrorism spree before 1948. And there was no such thing as islamic extremism before the 1960’s so zionism created modern islamic extremist terrorism.

            You just seem to choose to believe that history books are factual and unbiased when this is far from the truth. Remember ghislane maxwell’s father who was a Mossad asset was involved in the publishing of school textbooks and maxwell herself was even a moderator on many reddit groups pertaining to world events and current news.

            And today mossad is funding massive social media troll farms to sway public perception and manipulate the narrative when it suits them. Zionism is evil and to say the rothschild family has not been directly involved with zionism since the late 19th century is just ignorant of reality. The Rothschild family has a long history of funding and arming both sides of military conflicts to profit regardless who wins or loses. They definitely have the wealth to use PR to manipulate their public image to their advantage. The whole “anyone who talks bad about the Rothschild family is an antisemitic nazi” is such clever redirecting propaganda. How can someone who is an anti fascist leftist critical of israel Be anti semitic? There are many jewish people who are also critical of israel. Israel is definitely a fascist regime committing genocide and ethnic cleansing and the history of who funded and empowered those responsible for israel’s current crimes against humanity is important to dissect snd investigate regardless who it makes angry. hasbarah is a real tactic used by zionists to attack their critics and the whole “anyone who says this and this or this about israel and or the Rothschild family” is just hasbarah misdirection.
