    Because they’re trying to stop a genocide. Typical liberal tactic, since they’ve given up on vilifying the Palestinians they’re murdering Zionists are moving on to demanding their allies be saints.

      There’s a difference between expecting allies be saints and expecting them to not be so brutally authoritarian it made the Arab Spring equivalent of the “I can’t Breathe” chant become a thing

      Not being theocratic slime is not subverting anticolonialism to civility politics, if anything it’s the complete opposite considering how the religions your theocratic “allies” stump for is literally defined historically by the fact that it is imported by colonial merchants to establish a port elite to the exclusion of local tradition.

        There’s also a difference between being against authoritarianism and being against it only when it’s to obfuscate your own more heinous crimes.

        I guarantee you will not find any of these anti Houthi posters concerning themselves with this before the world turned against Israeli’s genocide.

          It’s amusing, because not only was I against Israel’s genocide before October 7, I was also one of the few Americans who knew who the fuck the Houthis were and opposed them long before that as well.

            Yeah sure buddy, let’s see some proof. And Israel’s crimes have garnered the attention and persecution of the ICC, the scale of their crimes pales in comparison to the Houthis or anyone else’s right now.

            Yes, the left thinks the Houthis are the good guys because they proved before the world that the US was not invincible and that the world really could prevent it from “happening again”.

        A demonstration of what? You’re completely leaving out the brutal context of a genocide as to why the left is praising Hothis. Hothis should be criticized for the wrong that they’ve done but it’s obvious you’re concern trolling Zionist that couldn’t care less about the myriad of crimes the West and their proxies have committed.
