        Per your second article, “The Houthis say they are targeting ships which are Israeli-owned, flagged or operated, or which are heading to Israeli ports. However, many have no connections with Israel.

        Emphasis mine. So what exactly do they have to do with the Palestinian genocide? Sounds like they’re just clout chasing and distracting from it.

                You provided a source to explain how the Houthi attacks were related to the Palestinian conflict and how they were purportedly helping the Palestinian people.

                Your source said despite the Houthis’ claims, their attacks were on ships unrelated to Israeli.

                You said, contrary to the article, that the ships were in fact related and they had been lying.

                Unless I’m to understand, you’re trying to have it both ways here, and saying the BBC is correct when they support your claim but the BBC is incorrect when they don’t support your claim – in the exact same article.

                When your grade school writing teachers told you that your arguments and evidence made no sense and that you were actually undermining them, did you also insult them? It would certainly explain a lot about your argumentative capabilities if you belittled them instead of thinking to improve.

                Your insult didn’t even make sense, it would read better as: “I suggest childrens books with the a suggested age range of 3 to 5 years old for someone of with your obvious deficiency in capabilities.”

                By all means though, feel free to continue picking a fight with a pedantic engineer who’s good with words. I haven’t had a good laugh like this in ages.

                    Very telling that you’ve devolved to strawmen and personal attacks instead of actually addressing my point:

                    You provided a source to explain how they were related to the Palestinian conflict and how they were purportedly helping the Palestinian people.

                    Your source said despite the Houthis’ claims, their attacks were on ships unrelated to Israeli.

                    You said, contrary to the article, that the ships were in fact related and they had been lying.

                    Don’t dodge it. Am I supposed to believe the articles? Or do I believe you – and if I’m supposed to believe you, why did you use those articles as evidence in the first place?

            Don’t play dumb, that’s not what I said. Russia and Iran had a hand in the October attacks by the Palestinians which started this war however.

              The entire IDF failed against a few dudes on a paraglider because RUSSIA DID IT!

              This is just tinfoiling.

                Have you read anything about the attacks? The IDF failed for the same reason USA failed on 9/11, they had intel and ignored it

                  You too friend. These people are supporting straight up Nazism now it’s getting insane that they fail to see this.
