“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.

    Article 1 of the Genocide convention. it’s mentioned in the video that you didn’t watch.

    And the video explains your other question too. If you watch it and still don’t agree then you can tell me which point you think is wrong.

      So I watched the video. Where exactly does he talk about Article I? On another note, I’m already quite familiar with Article I since I’ve been studying it since this conflict started. So, once more (third time) I’ll ask: where does Article I enable countries to randomly attack civilian trade ships?

        At 0:20 he talks about article 1. I’m not quite sure how you missed that.

        The Apartheid in South Africa ended by sanctions and blockades. From past experience we know this is a very effective way to put economic pressure on israel to stop their Genocide.

          Yes, he quotes Ansar Allah’s justification for their attacks and how THEY invoke article I. But at no point does he even TRY to source or dissect Article I. He just breezes through it like it’s a given. I’m familiar with South Africa too. Still, the Houthis are disrupting global trade (that’s right: 10-15% of global shipping routes have rerouted to avoid it) by attacking civilian trade ships bound in international waters. Tell me again (4th time) where article I justifies this.

              I’m not sure why we’re pivoting-again. It seems you do this a lot. I asked a simple question: where in Article I does it state that countries are free to attack civilian trade vessels bound in international waters?

              I do not agree with Israel committing genocide. If that was the case though, it would be the worst genocide attempt in history as Palestine’s population has doubled in the last ten years. Israel is really doing a poor job at genocide then. Syria’s government killed almost 100k in the last decade. They’re really good at it. Iran killed about ten thousand people in the Arab spring. Can you guess who Iran is backing in this conflict?

              I strongly recommend going forward that you do not take the random statements by some individual on YouTube at face value. If you really care about international conflicts and politics, there are plenty of resources to study this stuff. I’ll admit, it’s not packaged in an exciting YouTube format with music and video clips, but it’s there none the less. You can go read Article I ( or any part of the Geneva convention on human rights etc). There’s plenty of ways of learning about this but it involves some critical thinking and leg work instead of having the information packaged nicely in byte sized yt clips.

                I do not agree with Israel committing genocide

                Okay thank you for proving that you are a Nazi.

                  Oh, you can’t engage with the topic so you’re switching to memes? What a goddamn waste of time you are. Go back to watching YouTube clips for your news sources.

                    I could link you an 84 page document submitted at the UN which proves that israel commits Genocide. But I guess the UN would be too “Anti Semitic”.
