The Biden administration is expected to soon announce plans to redesignate Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen as specially designated global terrorists, according to two people familiar with the White House decision and a U.S. official.

The move comes as the Houthis have launched dozens of attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea. The group says it has attacked the ships in response to Israel’s military operations in Gaza in the aftermath of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

The three people familiar with the decision were not authorized to comment and requested anonymity to discuss the matter ahead of the expected formal announcement.

We will never negotiate with terrorists who demand an end to genocide!

Your country is not doing enough enough to stop {insert country with deranged policies tolerated by your government} from committing {insert crime}. Please send me your address so I can torch your house.

This logic would justify terrorist attacks against everyone and everything with the exception of Antarctic penguins.

No no its

Your country is actively supporting {insert country with deranged policies supported by your government} from committing {insert warcrime}. Please send me your address so I can torch your house.

Which, as a German, I find fair.

So you don't mind us torching the Houthis' houses either? Considering that they've undertaken deranged policies and are committing war crimes?

[–] mathemachristian@lemm.ee -3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (5 children)

Nope they haven't. They are justified in their attacks. Just stop the genocide. That's it. Also the US and Allies have been doing that anyway for the past decade or so what's the difference.

Easy one then, tell me your address, I've a Deutschlandticket so I can do full country fire delivery. Do you feel personally responsible for which genocide that Germany tolerates? Palestine by Israel? Uighurs by China? Or any other in particular?

(If anyone from the BfV reads this, I'm being sarcastic)
