    Yemen and Gaza have the right to defend themselves. If you dont want oil tankers in the red sea you’d simply now ignore the Yemeni navy’s warning to ships to not pass the strait if you’re going to do business with the UK, US, or Israel.

      Do you honestly think they are actually choosing which ships to target? They literally attacked a ship going to Iran

      Would you be ok if the american navy started shooting iranian civilian ships? Are we saying that civilian targets going through international waters are valid military targets? Should other countries do that too?

      What would become of the world then? Do you think that would improve the world? If any country starts hitting civilian targets? Why stop at ships? Why not start nuking cities because you dont like something? As long as you have, what you consider, a “valid” ethical issue you should be allowed to do anything you want.
