It’s 2025. Israeli soldiers are telling the Israeli press that they’re being ordered to massacre starving civilians trying to obtain food from aid centers. Countless doctors have been telling the world that Israeli snipers are routinely, deliberately shooting children in the head and chest throughout the Gaza Strip. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and all the leading genocide experts and human rights authorities are saying that a genocide is being perpetrated in Gaza. The New York fucking Times just published an op-ed by a Zionist genocide scholar who’s finally admitting that it’s a genocide.
There’s no way to deny what this is anymore. If you still support Israel in the year 2025, it’s not because you don’t believe Israel is committing horrific atrocities. It’s because you believe those horrific atrocities are good, and you want to see more of them.
Why do you insist in wanting to support a government? You don’t have to, you can fight for something even without supporting any government or waving any flag. We are not in a football match.
I honestly don’t know much about Yemen but given the quality of governments in the area i believe you could upset someone much more for defending Yemen government than for calling out any government in the world for being corrupted and evil. Iran government is a better example, they are fighting against israel but that doesn’t make them any less shit, they care about gaza and the genocide because it’s their “side” not because they are up to good.
You haven’t been following the genocide closely because you don’t really care about it. Otherwise you’d know that Yemen, despite being small and poor and isolated, has consistently blockaded the zionist entity throughout the genocide and has shut down their Red Sea trade routes completely, refusing to reopen them unless the genocide ends.
Nobody else comes close to having helped the Palestinians as much and as consistently as Yemen. This is important.
I’d trade a million of you for one more Yemeni anti-ship armament.
You talk about Yemen as if it was a football team, i encourage you to learn more about the country and the current situation.
Maybe take your own advice?
Yes i don’t know much about Yemen. I haven’t read the history of the country and i’ve no idea who the leaders of the government are or how their political system works. Though i know that “Yemen” is not a football team and there’s a war in the country where different factions are fighting for power making the argument “Yemen is doing X” really vague.
