The Houthis are backed by Iran, and have been a target of Saudi-led bombings for a decade, since they attempted to overthrow the dictatorial government there.
Are people on Lemmy actually supporting the Houthis? You know they aren’t just attacking Israeli shipping, right? If I shoot some random person but say it’s to help the orphans that doesn’t make it right.
Yes, I’ve noticed it here and on Reddit. I’m like, you are supporting folks that think slavery is required by Islam and calling them freedom fighters? The hypocrisy is tangible.

Seriously who are these people downvoting this stuff?
The accusation that the Houthis support slavery comes from Saudi Arabia and shouldn’t be taken as fact. It deserves to be downvoted.

You don’t HAVE to pick a side… this isn’t team sports.
