I mean, Houthis have been striking passing civilian ships with missiles and kidnapped people. Not terribly concerned they got shot back tbh.

They were fulfilling their obligation under international law to prevent genocide, hence why they stopped when Israel stopped the genocide, and resumed after Israel resumed it.

The question should be why every other country isn't doing this.

Not sure lobbing missiles at civilian ships and kidnapping their crews was the way to go.

Well, in any case, if you start firing missiles at other you can't be all the surprised if people start firing back.

I agree with you that kidnapping & killing civilians is not the way to go for any group. But do you see how your statement applies the same way to Isreal & the US?

Well of course

Nobody here is defending either of those groups, so I'm not sure why you brought them up.

There are a bunch of people defending the Houthis and repeating Iranian propaganda. Look for the .ml and sadly increasingly .ee for the accounts doing this.
