Summary

U.S. airstrikes on Houthi-held areas of Yemen killed at least 31 and injured 101, according to the Houthi health ministry.

The strikes followed renewed Houthi attacks on shipping, which they say are in response to Israel’s blockade of Gaza.

A Houthi spokesperson vowed retaliation, stating, “Our response will not be delayed.” Trump warned Iran to stop supporting the Houthis, while Iran distanced itself from the group.

The conflict has disrupted Red Sea shipping, prompting the U.S. to redesignate the Houthis as a terrorist organization earlier this month.

    It is a lot simper than you are trying to make it out to be. People hold a country of people who are victim of the previous genocide and is now standing up to a new one to an impossibly high standard, while the country genociding all over the world is never held to the same standard.

    The only reason it is not black and white because it is brown and white.

      So… you’re just cool with the whole gender apartheid thing? Islam and Christianity need to go with both - the world would be a lot better off

      It should go without saying, obviously genocide is awful and I don’t support that.

      Edit: and not partaking in gender apartheid doesn’t sound like too crazy of a standard to hold a society to with its own people…

        Watch out the pinkwashining brigade has arrived.

        Tad hard to take le epic atheism seriously when secularism is at its umpteenth genocide since its prominence on the world stage.

        The Houthis are risking their lives to stop a genocide and somehow you believe people will take you seriously if you tell them that they are not good enough to do so?
