    Good morning, Israeli propaganda ministry! How’s the weather down there today?

      You’re allowed to not like a particular terrorist group without supporting a different one.

      It’s not that difficult to say, for example, “The State of Israel is committing atrocities, in response to Hamas committing atrocities which was in response to The State of Israel’s treatment of the Palestinian people. The Houthis are also committing atrocities, and are also awful people.”

        I feel you and what you’re saying is correct but this is undoubtedly propaganda. This is not to say that there is zero truth to it, there very well could be but it’s primary purpose is not to expose an injustice for moral reasons. Rather it exists to sway your opinion regarding a particularly powerful and useful ally to the people of Palestine.

        Bossdj elaborates on the credibility of the article better than I could so see their comment for more info

        All true, but in honesty this article does read like a propaganda piece.

        Despite the sensational headline, the “executions that are on the rise” consist of two people arrested years ago under conspiracy charges and went through the court system. There is no further mention of public flogging beyond the headline. A Yemen official provides almost all the details, and the other accusation was “we found four bodies. Must have been Houthis”

        The only credible person interviewed in there only said “Houthis are responsible for human rights abuse” without any elaboration.

        I’m not defending any sides or anything, but I’m pretty sure this is a bias or propaganda piece. Could all be true, I don’t know, but it is not a great article.

        Hmm, good to hear both sides are wrong. Please, tell me more of this “both sides” principle.

          Well you see, if one side is killing civilians, and one side is also killing civilians, then they’re both shitty.

          It’s not difficult.

    Western governments would still have to be doing something to proactively prevent the genocide in Gaza to take the moral high ground from them.

    If you’re looking to vent moral outrage, many of the things described in the article aren’t too far from stuff that takes place right here in the states.
