I’m not finding anything about targeting of journalist, targeting of aid workers, targeting of medical workers, siege on hospitals, destruction of hospitals, mass displacement campaigns, and mass starvation campaigns. The closest I can find is the shelling of Al-Thawra hospital, and targeting of residential neighborhoods. You are either exaggerating the crimes of the Houthis or diminishing the crimes of Israel.
Look, I believe you when you say the Houthis are an explicitly racist movement with a genocidal and fascistic intent. However, the double standard in the international community when they fail to even attempt to stop (from my viewpoint) an order of magnitude worse crimes by a western aligned state. This is a surefire way of creating—what you call—campism along people like me. If the international community wanted us to stop “dignifying” the Houthis, then they need to take a better moral stance against Israel then the Houthis do.

- tptacek 3y agoIf I was an advocate for Israel I don't think I could ask for better ammunition than to have my opposition advocating in favor of the Houthis. I think you should reconsider your take on this. But I also think we don't have much more to discuss on this point, do you?
- runarberg 3y agoYeah, I think we are done. This debate is neither interesting nor fun, and definitely not in the spirit of this site.
