Everybody congratulate the Houthis for singlehandedly stopping Israel's attacks.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. We all agree that they are doing their trading vessel attacks because they are against Israeli war crimes. Sure that is undeniable, but that's not what is at question. The Houthis do a lot of other stuff, inclusive of their own war crimes. So they're not good guys, they're not heroes, they're not a single issue group that only exists to stop Israel.
They're also not stopping the genocide.
- In this genocide they are the good guys.
  America does far more war crimes than the Houthis. Are you out there denouncing Bernie Sanders because he is part of America and thus not a good guy?
  
  If Vermont Independents were killing civilians and he stayed in the group I would denounce Bernie Sanders yes. I am not denouncing the entire country of Yemen.
  You don't get to pick conflict-by-conflict. "Going down in history as heroes" is about the totality of human action.
  
  Condemn Bernie Sanders right now then

  I'm not following how you're getting to that conclusion about my stance with that link. He's a national politician talking about what the United States should do (in 2023). Clearly not as an acting member of a militant group.
  
  Adolf Hitler was part of an official nation state while he committed genocide too. Weird criteria.
  
  I'm not saying national leaders are immune from ethical liability no matter what, I'm saying I don't blame German Jews for the Holocaust just because they're German.
  Track this back to the Houthis for me. You are arguing that America and the Houthis are both committing war crimes and are akin to Hitler so I should be against both of them, I'm a hypocrite for only calling out Houthis...and also you think Houthis are heroes?
  
  Bernie was nog only German. Bernie is comparable to someone actively participating in the Nazi government. And actively voting for the Holocaust to happen.
