      I see. Murdering children is opposing global empire when the Houthis do it, so it’s acceptable.

          So the options to you are “absolutely perfect” or “child murderers just like Israel” and you are going with the latter.

          Guess it isn’t the deaths of innocent people you care about.

              Ah, so you don’t know anything about the Houthis and think all they’ve ever done is attack shipping boats.

              They literally use child soldiers. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/6/16/houthis-continue-to-recruit-child-soldiers-despite-yemen-truce

              Those are the righteous people you’re supporting. They send children to die in their war.

              Either you didn’t know about that or it’s not actually the death of innocent people you care about when it comes to Israel invading and bombing Gaza. I hope it’s the former and you’re not just bloodthirsty.

              Nearly 2,000 Houthi-recruited children were killed on the battlefield between January 2020 and May 2021, according to UN experts.

              That’s who you’re claiming it’s insanity to call monsters.

                  Okay, you are now defending a group that uses child soldiers after being informed that they use child soldiers because that was four whole years ago and also some whataboutism. That sort of defense does not belong in this community. It may even be a TOS violation, but I will let others decide on that front. Either way, you will have to find somewhere else to defend a group that uses child soldiers.
