You're a terrorist, you're not a terrorist. You're a terrorist, you're not a terrorist. You're a terrorist, you're not a terrorist...

Seizing cargo ships is generally a big no-no even in war zones. Also its pretty ignorant of you to conflate Yemen with the houthis

This is written in plain text on the groups flag:

"God is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, Cursed be the Jews, Victory to Islam".

I think they are going to have to work on their optics if they dont want to be viewed as terrorists.
