>I would believe you regarding an odd downplay of "death to" with "down with," were it not for how willing to kill a lot of the actors in the area are? It’s important to understand what terms of phrase are. It’s very common in American English to say “I killed it” or “I murdered it” to mean someone did a task well. It doesn’t mean the literal thing that is said. The houthis are obviously violent and have murderous intent. That is what armed conflict entails (this is true of the Houthis, the saudis, the Iranians, the israelis and the Americans, etc etc). But that doesn’t mean you have free to strip words and phrases of their cultural context.
