Are yoiu refering to Israel? If so, Yemen and the Houthis are not close to being ‘next to’ Israel - it’s about the same distance as Paris to Istanbul (approx. 2000km).

- docdeek 1y agoNeighbors? That makes a lot more sense - thanks for the clarification.
- wesselbindt 1y agoYeah sorry, I was being quite unclear, especially considering that Israel is committing a genocide too. To expand slightly on the point: look at what teenagers from very comfortable, peace-ridden, rich western nations are saying online. Some of it is quite normal and unproblematic, but some of it is unhinged/uneducated (take for example 4chan). My point was that having had a genocide committed against you (or if you don't like that term for what SA did; a military invasion) as a teenager is probably gonna make your comments lean a bit more to the unhinged/uneducated side. I think that's normal and expected.
