    🙋Is saying “fucking up Israeli ships is based” considered praising Houthis?

      Praising, no. Dumb, usually; since Israeli ships aren’t even the majority of targets hit by the Houthis.

        Also the majority of ships attacked by the Houthis are civilian. You can’t complain that Israel isn’t doing enough to protect civilians in Gaza and then cheer for attacks on civilians.

          I can ‘get’ a limited argument for that in a ‘total war’ sense of economic warfare, though I’d still regard it as abhorrent.

          Fact is it’s not even that much, though. It’s just random attacks on shipping because their paymasters benefit from the chaos and the Houthis benefit from the raised profile.
