They are also are using these intercept missiles to defend civilian shipping.

There’s an argument to discuss regarding entanglements with global shipping, Israel, and it’s enemies. But using a missile to save a life of a civilian sailor is also “sane and agreeable” as far as global military actions go…

For sure, I 100% agree on that, though it is an angle I didn’t think about in my.original comment.

They are not defending civilian shipping. They are protecting Israel from the consequences of its genocide making them equally guilty.

Since Oct 9 2023 Israel has put a blockade on Gaza preventing food, water, gas and electricity from entering.

“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant says following an assessment at the IDF Southern Command in Beersheba.

“We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly,” he adds.

Yemen has every right to respond in kind and enforce a blockade on Israel until the blockade on Gaza is lifted. The serious question is why is the US enabling and protecting Israel? We know Biden loves killing Arab women and children but is that the only reason why?

There are civilian ships in the guild of Aden and the red sea being targeted. There are US missiles defending them. That’s a fact. Many of those ships are not affiliated with Israel in any way

WHY that’s happening is not part of my comment.

The blockade includes all non-Israeli ships going to Israeli ports. You are concerned with this while ignoring that Israel’s blockade on Gaza went as far as killing aid workers. Yemen’s blockade has always been conditional on lifting the blockade on Gaza and allowing aid in.
