minus-squareLinkerbaan@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down15·9 months agoInitially the Houthis only blocked ships related to israel which is completely fair game and heroic as they are standing up against Genocide. Then America and Britain decided to bomb Yemen in order to help israel in their Genocide. Now follow me here: since Britain has bombed yemen they are directly at war with Yemen. And these British ships are as directly involved in the war with the Houthis, as Russian trains are with the war in Ukraine.
