This isn't true, they claimed they were only attacking ships going to Israel but they were indiscriminately attacking any ship that crossed the red Sea.

Why Did the Houthis Attack Ships in the Red Sea?
The Houthis, an Iran-backed militant group based in Yemen, began attacking commercial and military vessels in the Red Sea in October 2023, citing solidarity with Palestinians amid the Israel-Gaza war. Their campaign has significantly disrupted global shipping, particularly through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a crucial maritime chokepoint. Below are the key motivations behind their attacks, supported by credible sources.1. Opposition to Israel’s Military Actions in Gaza
The Houthis framed their attacks as retaliation against Israel’s military operations in Gaza, demanding an end to the war and a lifting of the blockade. They declared their intent to target ships linked to Israel, though many vessels attacked had no clear connection (Crisis Group).2. Expansion to US and UK Targets After Airstrikes
Initially focusing on Israeli-affiliated ships, the Houthis later broadened their attacks to include vessels associated with the US and UK after these nations launched airstrikes on Houthi positions in Yemen (BBC News).3. Economic Pressure on Israel and Its Allies
By disrupting shipping routes, the Houthis sought to increase costs for Israel and Western nations, forcing major carriers to reroute around Africa, which raised fuel and shipping expenses (The Guardian).4. Strengthening Domestic and Regional Influence
The attacks served multiple political purposes:- Consolidating power in Yemen by diverting attention from governance issues.
- Aligning with Iran’s "Axis of Resistance", which includes Hamas and Hezbollah (Foreign Affairs).
- Recruiting fighters by framing the conflict as a religious struggle against Western influence (Reuters).
5. Retaliation Against US-Led Military Operations
After Operation Prosperity Guardian (Dec. 2023) and subsequent US-UK airstrikes, the Houthis intensified their assaults, vowing to continue until Israel ceased its Gaza offensive (Al Jazeera).Conclusion
The Houthis’ Red Sea campaign combines ideological support for Hamas, economic warfare against Israel and its allies, and strategic positioning within Iran’s regional network. Despite international military responses, they have sustained attacks, underscoring their resilience and external backing.Works Cited

I don't give a fukk what the official spokesperson for houthis claims their motivation was.
60 ship were captured and alot of them had nothing to do with Israel. You think I'm gonna take a terrorist organization's word that they aren’t terrorist?
they wouldn't have to check them if they checked israel. like i said, yemen's been getting bombed. now they're just getting bombed for standing up to everyone rewarding israel for killing women and kids in 4k
believe what you want. what i posted was reported facts
What you posted was the supposed motivation. In reality ships were attacked indiscriminately.believe what you want. what i posted was reported facts
When did the ships start getting attacked?
Morality sound good and getting your ass beat/killed because of it comes with the territory.
Does it matter?
Ships that had nothing to do is Israel were attacked indiscriminately.
It does. When did the attacks start?
Read what I posted again.
2. Expansion to US and UK Targets After Airstrikes
Initially focusing on Israeli-affiliated ships, the Houthis later broadened their attacks to include vessels associated with the US and UK after these nations launched airstrikes on Houthi positions in Yemen (BBC News).edit: it's also crazy that you're applying this logic to commercial vessels but not innocent children who had nothing to do with any of this but are getting bombed, sniped, and amputated. people are getting killed and the concern here is that global business is a little less efficient because the richest countries are supporting a genocidal partner
