“Operations in the Red and Arabian Seas, Bab al-Mandab Strait, and the Gulf of Aden are continuing, escalating, and effective,” Abdul Malik al-Houthi added in a televised speech. He gave no details of the submarine weapons.
Ships owned by individuals or entities in Israel, the U.S. and U.K. or sailing under their flags are banned from the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea, Thursday’s notices said.
“The Humanitarian Operations Center was established in Sanaa to coordinate the safe and peaceful passage of ships and vessels that have no connection to Israel,” a senior Houthi official told Reuters on Thursday.
No ships have been sunk nor crew killed during the Houthi campaign. However there are concerns about the fate of the UK-registered Rubymar cargo vessel, which was struck on Feb. 18 and its crew evacuated.

There are a few things you can do right now:
- Reduce your consumerism. Reuse and recycle as much as possible.
- Boycott all Israeli products.
- Buy local, so you don’t rely on foreign shipping
This will help with #2:
Sounds like we will keep blowing up their ability to attack civilian shipping.
There’s an easy way to end this and it costs nothing in terms of lives and money. Tell Israel to stop.
And why would Israel listen to that?
The Houthi blockade lifts the second israel stops their Genocide in Gaza,
their official slogan:
God is the Greatest
Death to America
Death to Israel
A Curse Upon the Jews
Victory to Islami have a hunch they’ll just be happy to see more dead jews
Interesting, because they seemed fine with Israeli/allied consumer shipping up until the genocide. it’s funny how that works
If you really think that’s the reason and not something else entirely, I’ve got a bridge in Tehran to sell to you.
Proving how much anti-semitsm israel spreading is by using Judaism as a shield for their crimes
so now you’re justifying anti-semitism?
just like neo-nazis giving excuses for their anti-semitism.
anti-semitism existed for centuries before israelNo I’m explaining the cause of anti-semitism. Which is israel. Israel keeps using the good Jewish name as a shield for their Genocide.
Only since israel started using Judaism as a shield for their Nazi behavior did this false correlation start.
Arabs have no problem with Jews. It was in Europe that Pogroms were a regular occurance.

Yemen
“In the late 1160s, the Yemenite ruler 'Abd-al-Nabī ibn Mahdi gave Jews a choice of conversion to Islam or martyrdom.”(893) “Under the Zaydi rule, the Jews were considered to be impure and therefore forbidden to touch a Muslim or a Muslim’s food. They were obligated to humble themselves before a Muslim, to walk to the left side, and greet him first. They could not build houses higher than a Muslim’s or ride a camel or horse, and when riding on a mule or a donkey, they had to sit sideways. Upon entering the Muslim quarter a Jew had to take off his foot-gear and walk barefoot. If attacked with stones or fists by youth, a Jew was not allowed to fight them. In such situations, he had the option of fleeing or seeking intervention by a merciful Muslim passerby.”
Egypt
“In 1300 Sultan Al-Nasir Qalawan ordered all Jews under his rule to wear yellow headgear to isolate the Egyptian Jewish community. This law would be enforced for centuries and later amended in 1354 to force all Jews to wear a sign in addition to yellow headwear. On multiple occasions the ulema persuaded the government to close or convert synagogues. Even major places of pilgrimage for Egyptian Jews such as the Dammah Synagogue were forced to close in 1301. Jews subsequently were excluded from bath houses and were prohibited to work in the national treasury. This repression of the Jewish community would continue for centuries.”and more
“In 1656, all Jews were expelled from Isfahan and forced to convert to Islam because of a common belief that their Jewishness was impure.”
“in 1661 they were allowed to revert to Judaism, although they were still required to wear a distinctive patch on their clothing.”muslims made jews wear patches before the nazis did.
Farhud (also Farhood; Arabic: الفرهود) was the pogrom or the “violent dispossession” that was carried out against the Jewish population of Baghdad, Iraq, on 1–2 June 1941, immediately following the British victory in the Anglo-Iraqi War.
THE BRITS took over Baghdad and then did Pogroms. Let’s blame the Arabs!
Don’t look up what European colonialism had to do with Jewish persecution either that’s going to be very inconvenient.
I also clicked on the Damascus Affair 1840 link. Since you didn’t, I’ll help you out.
Spoiler alert: It’s Europe again:
Since the beginning of the sixteenth century, Syria had been part of the Ottoman Empire (1299–1922). However, in 1831, eight years before the Tanzimat reforms, Ottoman Syria had come under the control of the Egyptian Muhammad Ali, the viceroy of Ottoman Egypt who had turned against the sultan. Muhammad Ali was said to have been influenced by European powers, particularly by France, which often attempted to safeguard and ameliorate the position of members of Catholic orders in the region.
“A curse upon the Jews” must mean something different where you’re from.
Arabs have no problem with Jews. It was in Europe that Pogroms were a regular occurance.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_in_the_Arab_world
Dhimmi were subjected to a number of restrictions, the application and severity of which varied with time and place. Restrictions included residency in segregated quarters, obligation to wear distinctive clothing such as the Yellow badge,[17][Note 1] public subservience to Muslims, prohibitions against proselytizing and against marrying Muslim women, and limited access to the legal system (the testimony of a Jew did not count if contradicted by that of a muslim.
While there were antisemitic incidents before the 20th century, during this time antisemitism in the Arab world increased greatly.
Jeez wonder why anti-semitism was virtually non-existent before the 20th century. And then suddenly all Arabs became anti-semitic.
Did someone start some kind of hostile ideology that wanted to take over the Arab world using Judaism as a shield?
Even random Moroccans in a cafe can tell you what actually happened
- Not a blockade.
- They’re going to keep at it as long as they are physically capable
So it’s only a blockade when white people do it? gotcha.
The Houthi’s have openly stated that they will lift their blockade whenever israel stops their Genocide.
In that video, he argues Houthis are shooting ships delivering weapons to Israel. However, basically all of the ships the Houthis attacked were not even heading to or from Israel. Yemen does not have any moral leg to stand on when shooting civilians peaceably trading via the sea.
We will continue to destroy those attacking civilian shipping until they are no longer able to do so.
Edit: The Houthis just this week struck a ship carrying humanitarian aid to Yemen. Fuck the Houthis.
Every target they Houthi’s hit so far has been directly related to their claims. Claims that they were not related have been proven false. The recent oil tanker was British. The first big hijacked ship was israeli.
The ship you are talking about had a US flag. Do you see Russian flagged aid trucks going into to Ukraine too?
The ship to Iran was American.
The Marshall Islands-flagged vessel is owned by US-listed Star Bulk Carriers Corp.
Massive props to the Houthi’s for being consistent in their blockade and not just allowing ships through because it would strategically benefit them.
Shipping companies are extremely secretive about their ownership. They fly one flag, are owned by someone else, but also used by another company that leases them etc.
The fact is: Every ship that has been hit so far did have ties to the countries that the Houthi’s are not allowing passage until their Genocide in israel is over.
Why are you lying?

That is one garbage Youtube channel. How can you recommend clickbait nonsense like this?
Explain exactly what is garbage. Do you want Yoav Gallant explaining everything?

@Linkerbaan just want to say that i admire your perseverance. Explaining, with sources, to some of the same users everyday on different posts, and having to take their shitty insults everytime.
I don’t think i could do it, but i appreciate that you do. Because I, and I’m sure many others, have learnt a lot from the information you provide.
Thanks. It has also forced me to get educated on the subject in order to respond to those people.
I am very glad to see (global) opinion on the matter shifting rapidly. The faster that the opinion shifts the less people will get killed in this Genocide.
If I could make one suggestion please financially support content creators such as GDF, Uncivilized and/or Owen Jones if you have the means to do so.
The israeli propaganda machine is incredibly expensive, yet more fragile than ever. Many independent content creators are absolutely demolishing them, and providing people like me with condensed knowledge.
Will definitely have a look at those content creators. I usually donate locally, but I’ll have a look.
Talking about the Israeli propaganda machine; in South Africa you have the South African Jewish Board of Deputies. An absolutely disgusting openly pro zionist and israeli organisation. They’re super rich so they always try to influence law or policy so that anything pro palestinian isn’t heard and that pro israeli messages must remain loud and clear.
They lobby the national government, but especially the DA led Western Cape government the way that people describe the US lobbies do to the US government.
Some people in Cape Town had the back of their houses facing the main roads and highways. So these residents decided to paint the Palestinian flag on those parts of their houses to show support.
The DA government promptly sent police and public works councellors to force the residents to paint over the flag. Which was absolutely illegal of the government to do because it was private property. But because these people weren’t that well off they couldn’t fight back because law enforcement was there as well.
Yes. It is these “cheap bribes” to media and government officials that allow israel to have so much influence. The amount of money that israel spends on propaganda is peanuts for what they are getting in return.
But many independent content creators are undoing all of israel’s hard work for an even smaller fraction of the cost.
It’s like how non-profits found out that if you spend a large percentage of donated money on advertising, you actually earn way more, and thus can actually donate more money to poor people.
Which sounds really stupid but it is reality.
I believe the best way to spend your money by far right now to stop the Genocide in Palestine is not by donating food, but donating to independent media fighting israel’s lies.
Good.
Just because two countries are warring, this gives a third country zero moral agency to strike random civilian ships bound in international waters.
Edit:
Currently, the Houthis are doing their best to exterminate LGBT communities within the borders of Yemen:
I suppose under Article 1 if the cgppgc that gives any nation carte blanche to step in and attack them to stop this, right? … right?
Yemen is obliged by international law to do everything in their power to stop Genocide when they see it occurring. And Yemen has concluded that israel is committing Genocide. Thus they are forced to do this.
Article 1
The Contracting Parties confirm that genocide, whether committed in time of peace or in time of war, is a crime under international law which they undertake to prevent and to punish.
Genocide convention Wikipedia :
The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG), or the Genocide Convention, is an international treaty that criminalizes genocide and obligates state parties to pursue the enforcement of its prohibition.

Which particular international law is Yemen bound to in its role towards preventing genocide? And what the fuck does that have to do with attacking civilian ships?
Article one of the UN Genocide convention.
Those ships are complicit in Genocide.
Show me specifically where in Article I of the UN genocide convention does it enable any nation to attack indiscriminately trade ships in international waters on the basis of genocides happening in other countries.
Indiscriminately?
Yemen only ships involved in Genocide. The video I linked explains it pretty well.
Do some research before you start commenting.
Nope. You’re lying. And you dodged my question. I’ll ask again. Where in Article I does it enable it?
Article 1 of the Genocide convention. it’s mentioned in the video that you didn’t watch.
And the video explains your other question too. If you watch it and still don’t agree then you can tell me which point you think is wrong.
