    Man, just imagine doing your job, living at the other side of the world, spending months on sea to bring back some money for your family, and then some cunts just kill you because of a conflict you might not even know exists

      Man, imagine watching a live steamed genocide for two years and when a few people get hurt because they’re working on a ship that supports the genocide, that’s when you feel empathy.

      You can’t transit the area and not know. I’m pretty sure theres been a maritime advisement for like a decade generally and for Liberia there’s been a specific warning provided to relevant shipping companies and captains. It would be like sailing the coast of Somalia and saying you didn’t know theres a pirate issue.

          The Houthis warned Philippines that they will attack their ships? When did that happen, or are you full of shit as usual? They are often shooting ships indiscrimately, there were even cases of them hitting aid going to gaza or their allies ships. They literally said that they’re terrorizing international shipping canal to show solidarity with hamas, backed by Russian and Iranian rockets.

            That’s a blockade, yeah. Israel has been doing that on and off to Palestine for like 40 years.

            I warned my neighbor that i would shoot him if he tried to pick my back door one more time. He warned me that he would kill my wife. Clearly we are both the same

              Did you warn your mailman not to drop off mail at your criminal neighbor’s house or you would blow up his truck?

                No, but I did warn my mailman not to deliver the ammo to my neighbor who has already killed my uncle’s entire family and is promising to murder my wife next.

                We can play this game forever. The reaction to genocide isn’t worse than genocide.

            Houthis is an armed political and religious movement not an ethnic group within Yemen. Yes, it’s ok to bomb them

                I feel sorry for them. The genocide should end it will save everybody lives. The houthis didn’t attack any ship during the cease fire so why the countries that have the obligation to do the best to stop it isn’t doing all they can?

                  How are you this ignorant? The houthi basically started as a civil war in Yemen, not some moral high ground against Israel.

                  Stop re-writing the history to serve your narrative.

    From this BBC article: “It is the second vessel the Houthis have sunk in a week, after the group on Sunday launched missiles and drones at another Liberian-flagged, Greek-operated cargo ship, Magic Seas, which they claimed “belong[ed] to a company that violated the entry ban to the ports of occupied Palestine”…The group has said it is acting in support of the Palestinians in the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, and have claimed - often falsely - that they are targeting ships only linked to Israel”.

    From The Times of Israel: “Both the Eternity C and Magic Seas were part of commercial fleets whose sister vessels have made calls to Israeli ports over the past year.”
