    Demonstrably false? COSCO is literally sailing ships through the Suez Canal today because they invalidated all Israeli shipments for boats passing through the Red Sea.

    Edit: nevermind that it’s entirely a country’s jurisdiction to limit who can pass in their territorial waters. This is a fact given by international law.

      lol, literally from today (it’s not the first time this exact scenario happens)

      Also that Indian ships from a few weeks ago with no relationship to Israel either…

      Also the fact that Djibouti and its bazillion military bases presumably own the other half of the strait and certainly isn’t aligned with the Houthis (literally no-one is besides Iran) so what even is your point?

      Lemmy tankies try not to defend Palestine by condoning terrorist attacks against civilians challenge [IMPOSSIBLE]

        Ansarallah is at war with Israel. A blockade is legal under international law if you’re at war.

        Again, your only argument is that Ansarallah is not the legitimate government of Yemen because, despite having de facto control, they lack international recognition… But by extension, you also claim that the ROC is not the legitimate government of Taiwan, so I guess if that’s your position then whatever.

      How well would you say international law is holding up against overwhelming military superiority?

        Pretty well considering Ansarallah has not been “deterred” by the “surgical strikes” consisting of hundreds of missiles.

        Glad we agree that the US and UK are pissing all over international law, though.
