    The closest I’ve seen are leftists annoyed that we’re willing to protect shipping lanes but not human life in Gaza and elsewhere. No one considers Houthis shooting missiles at civilian ships a legitimate form of protest or anything, though.

    It’s sort of like how no one supports Hamas but people are like, “Do you condemn Hamas?” if you criticize Israel. Yes, motherfucker! I condemn Hamas. I just hate Netanyahu too.

      It’s super frustrating how most people are locked into a zero-sum mindset, and fail to understand that two sides fighting each other can both be bad in different ways such that there’s not really a “good guy”.
