Are you now saying that Egypt is the poor country that can't defend itself against the Houthis?
That's your argument, not mine.
What argument are you even trying to make?
What I'm saying is some nations have to use other flags because of myriad reasons, the Marlboro Canal being one of them.
They have taken hostages multiple times.
Proof enough that they don't really care about 'gaza' and just want to attack 'non-muslims' for whatever reason they come up with.
And how exactly are hostages related to I quote 'the entire produce of a small rural farming family goes up in flames.'?
Check how many vessels were damaged or sunk, deliveries left to rot as reefer systems failed. Then you'll understand.
The Houthis own the insurance companies now or how exactly does that benefit them financially?
You have no idea how these crooked megacorps and their jihadi buddies really run, do you?
I asked for cases from before the Gaza war.
Cut the bullshit, you asked for "Do you have an example of where they've deliberately attacked a ship or shipping company that doesn't fall under said criteria?" and I provided it. Typical of your kind to weasel away from your original claims.
That the Houthis have been attacking ships in any way connected to Israel i.e. moving to or from Israeli ports and/or being owned by Israel affiliated companies? At no point did I question that.
You were trying to claim that no other ships were attacked. I proved you wrong.
"The group owner of the bulker was also listed on the US stock market index NASDAQ, which was identified as the likely reason for the attack," it said."

Wew. By your logic, anyone using US$ as currency is a US asset.
Mediterranean Shipping Company ships to Israel. Same goes for Hapag-Lloyd. So both companies are Israeli-affiliated.
Was that specific ship headed to Israel? The answer is no. Also damn, apparently selling anything to Israel makes one 'israel affiliated'? What next, investing 50,000$ in their businesses makes me an honorary jew? LOL
UK owned ship. UK was engaging Houthis militarily at that time if I recall correctly.
Again, not traveling to Israel. And again, not owned by the the british government.
So no. You didn't prove me wrong.
Sure did. You lot always come up with the frailest excuse to sate the greed your kind always has for the work of others. I see you've ignored the link about them attacking shipping even before hamas decided to fuck itself over by committing the october 7th massacred, though.

That's what a blockade looks like. What did you expect? It's not like the Houthis can blockade Israeli ports directly.
What next, investing 50,000$ in their businesses makes me an honorary jew? LOL
If you invest in a company you're affiliated with that company. Or do you think you're allowed to invest in companies that are hit with 'you're not allowed to to do business with them' sanctions by your own government?
Again, not traveling to Israel. And again, not owned by the the british government.
Barely any commercial ship is owned by the nations government. Please don't stoop to that level.
I see you've ignored the link about them attacking shipping even before hamas decided to fuck itself over by committing the october 7th massacred, though.
You didn't post a single article from before October 7th. Are you referring to the UAE vessel? The same UAE that has been at war with the Houthis for quite a while now?
I see you've completely ignored the observation that 'use US$, become us asset' dig because it hit dead center of your argument.
That's what a blockade looks like. What did you expect? It's not like the Houthis can blockade Israeli ports directly.
So they're reduced to attacking random ships, then claiming that they're somehow 'israel owne- UHHH I mean israel-afilliate- UHHH I mean they maybe stopped at israel I think so they're israeli assets! Obey me or else I'll put a jihad on you!'
Yeaaaaaah no. Fuck that and fuck them.
If you invest in a company you're affiliated with that company. Or do you think you're allowed to invest in companies that are hit with 'you're not allowed to to do business with them' sanctions by your own government?
Companies aren't state actors, though.

There you go. And that's why they should not be attacked in the name of 'muh war'.

https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Jefferson/01-09-02-0315 Muslims have always attacked international shipping. The houthis aren't anything new.
The reason why you're suddenly asking for cases before the gaza war is because you want to deflect away from what the houthis did.

You were trying to claim that no other ships were attacked. I proved you wrong.
So instead of the Jews it's the Muslims?
You are correct. Didn't properly pay attention to what comment of mine you replied to.

So no. You didn't prove me wrong. And no it's still not piracy what the Houthis are doing. It's a sea blockade.
