Israel Bombs Yemen Saturday in Escalation with Houthis.

Is this still called self defence? Surely people can see through this. No?

Some of these comments are weird.

The Houthis have been keeping up their blockade for 8 months and have already been bombed by US coalition forces multiple times.

I don't think they are at all surprised aside from the fact that it took Israel this long to do the exact same thing.

I keep seeing lots of "find out phase" comments on other threads which doesn't make any sense because they've been effectively at war for years on end, and definitely with Israel for 8 months.

The more interesting notion is that Israel also probably bombed some residential areas unlike the US who were trying to destroy missile launch sites to end the blockade.

Unsure because it was an oil depot.

REAL Jews LOVE War and Death and Bombs!

-Evangelical Republicans who are also NOT Snowflakes!

To paraphrase: "The Houthis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everybody else and nobody was going to bomb them."

Maybe don't bomb people, and, failing that, don't be surprised when they bomb you back.

Israel being the world's most hated state was not in my bingo cards for this millennium.

We need to take out Bibi and be done with it. This is f-ing rediculous 🙄

In it's 'war against Hamas' Israel has now bombed 3 countries that has no Hamas

Yes, Israel escalated this. When they bomb innocent trade ships, that's fine, that's not escalation that's just tuesday and they are being cute.

FYI: Houthis recruit and have been responsible for the battliefield deaths of thousands of child soldiers.

Neither side is the good guy here.

hopefully they try to open a third front with Lebanon and seal the deal on the end of their apartheid settler project 🙏

Fuck Israel

I don't even know if you could call this an escalation. Saudis haven't seemed to need a reason to murder Yemeni civilians for some time.

After 8 months the Huthis reached the find out phase.

We need 4 more years of Joe. He will resolve this issue peacefully!

For the people who criticize fellow arabs don't care about palestinians.

The Houthi leadership is just as evil as the Israeli leadership, in terms of how they brutalize and murder noncombatants who don't share their views and want no part in their holy war.

The Houthis have been cruisin' for a bruisin'
