    Anything carrying weapons isn’t “civilian”, it’s a military supply ship.

    Imagine thinking just because it’s not painted gray and equipped with guns that it isn’t for a military use case.

      Yeah that’s nit how that works at all.

      Civilian shipping is still civilian shipping even when they are carrying engines for war planes. And I 1,000,000% gaurantee you wouldn’t be saying that same shit if it was Ansar Allah attacking weapons shipments heading to Israel.

        So there were no weapons and munitions on this ship? No drones or explosives? Just innocent little airplane engines?

        I don’t give a shit about Israel, but pretending that supplying the enemy war machine with weapons can be classified as civilian because of the ship you’re putting those weapons on is a farce.

        I would absolutely expect those groups to attack weapons shipments, why the fuck wouldn’t they? Also, attack? Two Navy Seals sent in to sieze control and you want to pretend that’s the same thing as bombarding a ship with explosives? Lol fucking biased as shit. Guarantee if they’d been successful you’d see fewer civilian casualties than any operation performed by Hamas or Islamic Jihad.

          You can’t see the forest for the trees.

          Literally everything you said applies to Ansar Allah, they have target civilian vessels supplying arms to Israel, they have boarded vessels to divert them away from Israel, which has been seen as an “attack on civilian vessels” by the west and the media.

          You’re getting incredulous, but only because I’m daring to challenge the world view you’ve been fed your entire life. And I know you don’t /think/ You’re a victim of propaganda and you’ll deny it, maybe claim that I’m actually the one that’s been tricked or whatever. I understand I was the same way once. But when you start actively trying to distance yourself from your preconceived biases it becomes easier to see things in a different light to the “we are the good guys and any that disagrees is a bad guy” mindset.

          Guarantee if they’d been successful you’d see fewer civilian casualties than any operation performed by Hamas or Islamic Jihad.

          And that makes it okay? That the better trained militants with better equipment could do it better, that makes what they do okay?
