By that logic shouldn't Israel stop the crimes against humanity it's currently undertaking in Gaza if it doesn't want shipping attacked?
They had stopped them for a solid period until Saudi airstrikes began again, and Israeli crimes against humanity in Gaza got more blatantly underway.
Might be worth giving it a try if we care about human life.
I assume you think Pakistan and China's attacks on the Baloch people are valid as well, then?
Since how dare an exploited ethnic minority have some of its members turn to violence against a hostile state.
I'm sorry, I figured taking a train load of people hostage or repeated bombings of public transport would be equivalent enough.
The Houthi, and other Zayidi Shia groups, have been discriminated against legally and culturally since the at least the 80s. (At least in part a response to Zaydi rule during the Ottoman Period).
I can't find straight ethnic group numbers, but most sources state them to be a minority, so I'd assume that that's the largest single smaller than 50% group. And given the diversity of peoples in Yemen, makes the religious aspect more important.
Not all good though, the Houthi movement could (should) be doing better on treatment of Bahaï and Jewish people, and the treatment of women could be better, but the Houthi forces are also engaged in combat with Al Qaeda, who would be much worse.
If the US doesn't want it's ships attacked, then it should stop arming Israel. No one should be defending the US government unless you support killing innocent Palestinians for some fucked up reason.
Blowing up inoccent civilians is cool though? Fuck that!
