    “Naval blockade” here meaning “attacking random civilian ships in international waters because they MIGHT be Jews”

    Yes, I am sure this is how a naval blockade against a particular country works, you just pick a handful of civilian ships at random to shoot at and claim they were secretly part of your enemies. War crimes are okay when it’s Your Side (and apparently, your side is the Islamofascists, very curious)

    EDIT: Of course, they’re a Tiananmen Square denier too. How predictable.

        Being against Israel is not the one and only measure for whether a group is good or not

          Stop doing a genocide.

          You first.

            Yes, the genociders like [checks notes] Greece, China, and India.

            Maybe if you attack enough civilians, you’ll accidentally hit some Israelis. Keep going!

              So how many innocent blockade runners have died vs innocent civilians been genocided?

                I guess “Intentionally targeting civilians and committing war crimes is bad” sounds like radical shitlib stuff to you, as long as the people you claim to oppose (but are targeting and killing people entirely unrelated to them) are committing more war crimes.

                  Real leftists understand that ending a genocide will require more than asking nicely and sending more weapons. Must sound completely unhinged to the libs.

                    What chain of events do “real leftists” see coming out of terrorists attacking civilian freighters?

                    Reality based observers will note that the international community is far more likely to retaliate against Yemen or put more anti missile ships in the area, leading to a significant risk of escalation…m

                    Oh, okay, so if the Houthis kill MORE Filipino civilians, that’ll stop the genocide?

                    Insane. Tankies really will support anything that’s vaguely damaging to the West. Absolute brainrot.

        Doing more to stop a genocide than the western powers sending weapons.

        “By killing Fillipino civilian sailors heading to Saudi Arabia, this will finally stop the genocide of Palestinians by Israel!”

        Have fun with your war crimes.

        How many war crimes on balance?

        ‘on balance’?

        What, is this some kind of fucking game to you? “They committed war crimes, so we can commit so war crimes too”? Jesus fucking Christ. How utterly morally bankrupt.

            Somebody killing people doesn’t give you a right to kill random unrelated people, just because you are killing fewer people

            Murdering civilians intentionally is inexcusable regardless of how many.

            By your logic literally every genocide the US supported and engaged in would have been completely excused had they just struck the right KD ratio by throwing their death row inmates at the enemy first.

            “Whoever commits fewer war crimes is moral and whatever war crimes they did were good and justified.” Quite logical.
