Right now the Houthis in practise blockade the Bab-el-Mandeb for everybody. The first ship they sunk Rubymar, was Belize flagged and Lebanese operated and ultimatly owned. It also caused a massive enviromental disaster in the region, due to carrying fertilizer.
What I am saying, is that an act of war against Lebanon, is not a moral response to actions of the state of Israel.
However you clearly disagree with that and consider any and all action justified as long as somebody labels them anti Israel.
presumably if somebody’s shipping weapons to israel, you’d be fine with the houthis sinking that ship? so you don’t disagree with the blockade in principle, you just think it’s being implemented too strictly?
but we’re not talking about something being an act of war
we’re talking about whether it’s morally justifiable
are you saying any offensive war is automatically unjustifiable?

Yes, if the Houthis would act differently, I would judge them differently.
But they do not.
how much restraint is appropriate when their stated goal is ending a genocide?
