      No one thinks through the things they say here. It’s just what feels good in the moment. At this point any country has free reign to attack any vessel they desire in international waters. Shit, Japan should start launching rockets at Chinese civilian ships because of Hong Kong/Taiwan; US should attack any Russian civilian ships because of Ukraine; any other military operations we should be conducting around the world on behalf of anyone?

        Strange, when t came to Ukraine we had to block Swift and seize all Russian assets.

        But when israel is comitting literal Genocide we really care about international law but only when it’s people trying to stop the Genocide. Because we’re doing the Genocide and that’s fine.

        Why is this British ship illegally trespassing in Yemeni waters? Did israel stop their Genocide in Gaza?

          Because it was in international waters and has nothing to do with the war, yet was still sunk by terrorists?

            That’s weird. Can you tell me why Britain is bombing Yemen if they are not at war to defend israel? Is it a “special military operation”?

              That ship was bombing Yeman? Last I checked it was carrying civilian cargo across international waters when it was attacked by terrorists launching rockets at them.

                Let’s israelify it: The ship could have been carrying a Nulear bomb for israel to throw on Gaza. Which is why it should have gone through the Yemeni terrorist border screening checkpoint to make sure it was not delivering nuclear weapons to israel.

                But since they didn’t it’s now a valid target :)

                  Yeah no, this is just terrorists deliberately targeting civilians since they’re incapable of targeting military targets with any success. The same exact thing Hamas has been doing for years.
