This looks set to escalate.

The Houthis have been at war with their own military for attacking their community.
Saudi Arabia is only involved because they fear the war may spread into Saudi Arabia.

Until now it's been nothing to do with Palestinians. The current attacks on shipping is the only connection with the Palestinians, and in support of Palestinians.

So your justifying Saudi but critical against Israel when it actually did spill into southern Israel.

?????


Thanks for keeping it short.

That's horrendous and I haven't seen one march or protest.

These Palestinian protesters do they not give a fůçk for these people. ?

That's the number spread over 20 years. That's why you've not noticed.
And it shows the scale and pace of the mass killing by the Israelis.

21,000 in barely 3 months for the Israelis killing Palestinians.
If thee kept that rate up for 20 years, the total would be 1,700,000 killed, and the rest of the population severely wounded, starved to death, traumatised or evicted.
That's why there's protests about the Israeli killing machine.

Not ar all. There's no reason for Saudi Arabia to be involved at all.

What?
You haven't got a clue what you're talking about, As usual.
I suggest you stay out of grown discussions. :rolleyes:
The Houthis - Yemen military have never spilled into Southern Israel.

That's about a thousand a week - more people killed than anywhere in Ukraine.
Yet our government backs Israel because it suits them to do so.

If you want to crash the world economy yes.

The additional length of passage would mean we'd run out of shipping for current trade volumes. It's a standard scenario at Dartmouth for wargaming.

Bloody hell , I missed that
Is that the Surrey Hills in the background?

In my defence
It is hard to miss when there are rockets flying through the sky so I can see why that lot was ahead of the game.

The conflict is ongoing for twelve years. Maybe look bit further than your garden gate for what happens in the world around you.

I thought it started about 20 years ago?
Maybe it escalated about 12 years ago when the Saudis becam einvolved.?
 
Even the politically minded probably know there’s no point in political action because 12 years ago, in February 2011, thousands of youth filled the square and the streets of the Yemeni capital in unstoppable mass protests that spread like wildfire in many cities, calling for the end of the 33-year rule of Ali Abdullah Saleh. And that has not ended well.

That's Yemen you say. It makes sense now that the fella with the machine gun is screaming.

I obviously meant where where the massive crowds in London and around the world.

My fault I know, I should be more descriptive with what I ask.
