    You can’t see the forest for the trees.

    Literally everything you said applies to Ansar Allah, they have target civilian vessels supplying arms to Israel, they have boarded vessels to divert them away from Israel, which has been seen as an “attack on civilian vessels” by the west and the media.

    You’re getting incredulous, but only because I’m daring to challenge the world view you’ve been fed your entire life. And I know you don’t /think/ You’re a victim of propaganda and you’ll deny it, maybe claim that I’m actually the one that’s been tricked or whatever. I understand I was the same way once. But when you start actively trying to distance yourself from your preconceived biases it becomes easier to see things in a different light to the “we are the good guys and any that disagrees is a bad guy” mindset.

    Guarantee if they’d been successful you’d see fewer civilian casualties than any operation performed by Hamas or Islamic Jihad.

    And that makes it okay? That the better trained militants with better equipment could do it better, that makes what they do okay?
