    Being against Israel is not the one and only measure for whether a group is good or not

        Yes, the genociders like [checks notes] Greece, China, and India.

        Maybe if you attack enough civilians, you’ll accidentally hit some Israelis. Keep going!

            I guess “Intentionally targeting civilians and committing war crimes is bad” sounds like radical shitlib stuff to you, as long as the people you claim to oppose (but are targeting and killing people entirely unrelated to them) are committing more war crimes.

              Real leftists understand that ending a genocide will require more than asking nicely and sending more weapons. Must sound completely unhinged to the libs.

                What chain of events do “real leftists” see coming out of terrorists attacking civilian freighters?

                Reality based observers will note that the international community is far more likely to retaliate against Yemen or put more anti missile ships in the area, leading to a significant risk of escalation…m

                  IDK MAYBE STOP SENDING MORE WEAPONS TO THE GENOCIDERS PERHAPS? ANYONE GOING TO TRY THAT?

                    How does attacking civilian freighters encourage any government to do that?

                    I’m trying to understand how you think this helps the Palestinean cause in any way.

                Oh, okay, so if the Houthis kill MORE Filipino civilians, that’ll stop the genocide?

                Insane. Tankies really will support anything that’s vaguely damaging to the West. Absolute brainrot.

                  Keep sending weapons and protectors for the genociders. That’s a very effective strategy.

                    Would love that. I support the removal of all aid from Israel. I’m at the point where I don’t even think that the US should interfere in case of war with Israel. The moral issue of the genocide aside, there’s the longer term strategic issue that they’ve made their bed with these insane provocations of their neighbors; backing them now is encouraging that behavior, and gods only know where it will go. Somewhere worse, is the only real guarantee.

                    Fuck man, what’s going on in the world isn’t the only thing you can support. You CAN support ALTERNATIVE courses of actions.
