The Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack on Wednesday, which set the Greek-owned, Barbados-flagged ship True Confidence ablaze approximately 50 nautical miles (93km) off the coast of Yemen’s port of Aden.
“The targeting operation came after the ship’s crew rejected warning messages from the Yemeni naval forces,” the militia’s military spokesman Yahya Sarea said in a televised speech.
The True Confidence is owned by the Liberian-registered company True Confidence Shipping and operated by the Greece-based Third January Maritime, both firms said in their joint statement. They said the ship had no link to the US.
However, it had previously been owned by Oaktree Capital Management, a Los Angeles-based fund that finances vessels on instalments.
The Houthis “will not stop until the aggression is stopped and the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted”, Saree said.
Maybe we can ask Biden to bomb Yemen some more and Netanyahu to starve people in Gaza harder that sure seems to work.
Oh Linkerbaan, there you are. Unable to comprehend that two wrongs don’t make a right. Every. Single. Time.
Very common here
Linkerbaan is almost certainly a Russian agent.
Maybe. They most certainly have monological worldview. Every statement is distilled down to a binary prism of logical deductions. It’s either A or B. There is no other alternative.
There you are to defend international law as long as it isn’t israel violating it. Every. Single. Time.
There you are doing the same pivot. Never defended Israel so why are you saying that? It’s not binary

If it’s right for the Houthis to do this to try and stop the Palestinian genocide, that would also make it right for Israel to commit genocide to try and stop Hamas. And it should be clear by now that we both agree Israel is not right to do so whatsoever.
Hamas indiscriminately killing innocent people didn’t solve the problem. Israel indiscriminately killing innocent people isn’t solving the problem. So why would the Houthis indiscriminately killing people solve the problem?
None of this is an actual solution.
