  • Well, for weeks before the Houthis said that the reason for the blockade is Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. And that once Israel ceases their attacks on Gaza they would end the blockade.

    Instead of using their political leverage to get Israel to stop their bombing, and thereby ensuring the end of the Houthi blockade, the US is instead attacking the Houthis and providing even more cover to Israel to continue it’s genocide.

    But yes, of course the US and allies would value the delays of shipments and providing genocide cover for Israel more than stopping an ongoing genocide against Palestinians

    And yes, it’s a major worldwide shipment route. So why does the US not use their political capital to stop Israel and thereby the blockade instead of attacking the Houthis on their own territory and greatly exacerbating tensions in the region.

    That is why i said that there is a disconnect in what the US says and what it does. It has a diplomatic route to take but instead starts warring. And no, saying that the Houthis should just stop the blockade without Israel stopping it’s genocide is not a valid diplomatic route.

    So that begs the question if the US is truly concerned with the blockade of a major shipping route or if they’re simply providing cover for Israel to continue bombing Gaza and terrorising the West Bank.

  • Just fyi. Apartheid didn’t end because of peaceful protest.

    The ANC had been peacefully opposing the Apartheid government. But that all ended after the Sharpeville massacre commited by the Apartheid government.

    Then MK was formed ( uMkhonto we Sizwe). MK was the armed guerilla resistance that Mandela and the ANC saw was needed, because the Apartheid government wasn’t giving in to peaceful opposition of their government.

    You’re probably confusing what people say was a ‘peaceful’ end to Apartheid because civil war was avoided.

    And it was only truly avoided because the resistance had to make so many unfair concessions to the international liberal powers that be ( imf, the US etc.) and the Apartheid government. Otherwise the Apartheid government was gearing up to actually start mass murdering the non white population (aka genocide).

    There truly are a lot of parallels between Apartheid south africa and israel
