    That’s not entirely true either though.

    It would appear that they have been about as careful in identifying ships to attack as Israel has been to avoid civilian casualties.

      Al Asrah and Srinda both turned off AIS IIRC. There’s a reason you’re not supposed to turn off AIS: it implies that you’re trying to circumvent sanctions. Russian ships, for example, would turn off AIS and transfer oil to non-Russian ships.

        This is what you claimed.

        Every ship attacked by Ansar Allah has ties to Israel.

        That claim is false. Providing weak excuses for just two incidents is inadequate.

        Supporting the Palestinian’s right to self rule doesn’t require simping for the Houthies. The Houthies are not altruistic freedom fighters. They are the same exact kind of religious extremists that run Israel and Hamas. (And the Republican party in the US.)
