- Boycott all Israeli products.
- Buy local, so you don't rely on foreign shipping

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Sounds like we will keep blowing up their ability to attack civilian shipping.
There's an easy way to end this and it costs nothing in terms of lives and money. Tell Israel to stop.

- Not a blockade.
- They're going to keep at it as long as they are physically capable
The Houthi's have openly stated that they will lift their blockade whenever israel stops their Genocide.
In that video, he argues Houthis are shooting ships delivering weapons to Israel. However, basically all of the ships the Houthis attacked were not even heading to or from Israel. Yemen does not have any moral leg to stand on when shooting civilians peaceably trading via the sea.
We will continue to destroy those attacking civilian shipping until they are no longer able to do so.
Edit: The Houthis just this week struck a ship carrying humanitarian aid to Yemen. Fuck the Houthis.
Every target they Houthi's hit so far has been directly related to their claims. Claims that they were not related have been proven false. The recent oil tanker was British. The first big hijacked ship was israeli.
The ship you are talking about had a US flag. Do you see Russian flagged aid trucks going into to Ukraine too?
The ship to Iran was American.
The Marshall Islands-flagged vessel is owned by US-listed Star Bulk Carriers Corp.
Massive props to the Houthi's for being consistent in their blockade and not just allowing ships through because it would strategically benefit them.
Shipping companies are extremely secretive about their ownership. They fly one flag, are owned by someone else, but also used by another company that leases them etc.
The fact is: Every ship that has been hit so far did have ties to the countries that the Houthi's are not allowing passage until their Genocide in israel is over.
Of course they "had ties", international shipping ownership and flag choice is absolute chaos. You can justify almost anything to almost any vessel.
Attacking a civilian ship "Once registered in Britain" thousands of miles away from a country you claim to be blockading is absolutely not a valid target it's an obvious war crime.
The defence of this shit undermines the entire opposition to Israel, the moral argument for stopping Israel from killing civilians is very clear but when the people arguing for it most strongly see attacking other civilians as perfectly fine the entire case starts to look like just a convenient cover for anti semetism.
Your argument is like saying that everyone is allowed to just hop over the American border and go everywhere because the are "civilians".
The moment you start doing illegal things you are no longer a "civilian".
Those ships have no right to pass through Yemeni waters. They have been warned in advance. Framing trade conglomerates as "civilians" to defend israel's Genocide is absolutely hilarious.
If you care about civilians go tell israel to stop their Genocide, then Yemen will lift their blockade.
Yemen has not killed a single civilian so far meanwhile America, israel and Britain are killing a child every 10 minutes
I could line by line this but these are civilians working on a ship, they don't choose anything, especially they don't choose where the ship goes which is international waters not Yemeni waters. The attacks are on ships in international waters
It's directly off the coast of Yemen. You like to pick and choose laws when you like.
But even with your warped standards, the root of this issue is israel not abiding by international law.
If israel doesn't have to then nobody else has to.
