Thread: Israel strikes Yemen port after Houthi rebels attack Tel Aviv

Aden and abetting, this qhat munchers seem uniquely reviled shelled by Saudis and now Israel, oddly there was a sizeable hebrew minority in history, a lovely but troubled land.
I hope it becomes peaceful long enough for me to sail safely to fabuous Socotra one of few place to have been both a Russian and Italian base!

Don't dish it if you can't take it, these savages love to poke the bear and find money to launch rockets while the rest of the world raises aid for the starving peasants amongst them. Then they whinge and cry when Israel retaliates. Knuckledragging fucking morons.

I wonder what the left-wing fascists will say now?

It seems Israel knows how to deal with these stone age religious fascists. Well done Israel, keep up the good work of making the Houthis pay a high price for their attacks. The USA failed miserably. I wish our spineless leaders did something similar when our cities and people are attacked, and I am fairly sure the Houthis were warned, warned and warned again about the consequences of their actions.
Guess they didn't listen.

This should also serve as a warning to Iran, who are also about 2000 kms away from Israel.

I wonder what the left-wing fascists will say now?

And right on cue.

It's the duty of every Arab state in the ME to fuck over the Schnauzers whose idea of civilisation is to ethnically cleanse their illegitimate state of every vestige of the rightful occupiers, the Palestinians.

The brave Houthis have cowed the Saudis, taking potshots at Israeli terrorists is no big deal.

They may see it as their duty, but they also know it would be their downfall, and the more civilised ME states, if indeed one exists, would be glad to see the back of these stone age peasant states, including palestine. They, along with most of the western world are relying on Israel to clean up the garbage that has accumulated thanks to decades of mismanagement by both the west and the arabs.

Rest assured, Israel will prevail. Because the alternative would be a disaster for the west.

I take it before your family served the british gov. in singapore, they were in one of our raghead colonies, hence your sympathy for these tribal orcs.

What the top UN court’s ruling means for Israel

Though non-binding, the ICJ’s rulings on the ongoing Gaza massacre strip away the Jewish state’s ability to obfuscate its crimes.

"The 15 judges of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the highest judicial organ of the United Nations, have issued what everyone agrees is a landmark finding. “Legal Consequences Arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem,” is, in essence, a devastating condemnation of Israel’s policies and crimes in the territories which it conquered more than half a century ago, as a consequence of the Six Day War of 1967, which it still holds today.

The ICJ finding also, inevitably, means (whether the judges intend it or not) that not only Israel’s policy in these specific territories, but the Zionist project as such, is based on the irreparable injustice of violently depriving the Palestinians of their inalienable right to national self-determination. Make no mistake, this is not “merely” a blow to the crimes of Israeli occupation and annexation; it calls into question the foundations of Israel as a state, as it is built around the systematic defiance of justice, law, and elementary ethics.

One feature enhancing the impact of the ICJ finding is its comprehensiveness. The 80-page document is the outcome of a long and thorough process that started in late 2022, when the General Assembly of the UN requested what is known as an “advisory opinion.” Detailed and closely argued, the findings are based, among other things, on the combined expertise of some of the best jurists in the world and hearings that involved almost 60 states. (Israel, clearly aware that its position was less than promising and generally contemptuous of international law, shunned the opportunity to state its case, which adds to the absurdity of its current rage over the result.)

However, while similarly meticulous legal assessments tend to generate complicated outcomes, that is not the case here. As has been widely acknowledged, the findings are devastating for Israel and, at least in legal terms, a clear triumph for the Palestinians and Palestine. In the words of Erika Guevara Rosas, senior director for research, advocacy, policy, and campaigns at Amnesty International, the ICJ’s “conclusion is loud and clear.”

The ICJ has recognized without qualifications that Israel’s holding of territories it seized during the Six Day War – including East Jerusalem (which Israel has officially though unlawfully annexed) and the West Bank (which it pretends to “occupy” but is, in reality, annexing) is illegal and needs to end asap.

In particular, the ICJ made it clear that all settlement must cease and that the settlers already on these territories must leave. That decision alone means that between 700,000 and 750,000 Israeli illegals (here, that term is, for once, exactly correct) should not be where they are. Not only do all of them have to leave the over 100 settlements they never had a right to establish; the Israeli state has an obligation to evacuate them. Moreover, Israel’s expropriations of land are also illegal, that is, simply put, theft. The ICJ has ordered it to return what it has stolen, that is, tens of thousands of acres.

The Israeli state is, of course, deeply implicated in the illegal acts the ICJ has ordered it to stop and even reverse. Israel’s longstanding policies of incentivizing its Jewish citizens – including de facto colonial settlers from anywhere in the world – to move into the illegally held territories and steal Palestinian land and resources is fundamentally criminal, among other reasons, because it is inconsistent with international law, particularly the humanitarian law enshrined in the Geneva Conventions.

Regarding the Gaza Strip, long a de facto concentration camp for its Palestinian inhabitants and since October 2023 the site of Israel’s ongoing genocidal massacre against them, the ICJ has clearly rejected the all-too-frequently heard Israeli argument that its forces retreated from it in 2005.

In reality, as honest legal experts have long maintained and the ICJ has now confirmed explicitly, Israel has always exerted so much stifling control over this area that it has remained an occupying power, with all the attendant obligations, whether its forces were on the ground inside the Gaza Strip or abusing its inhabitants while stationed around it.

The ICJ also clarified the issue of apartheid. As should be well known, apartheid is a recognized crime under international law (it is not merely a name for one specific criminal regime once practiced in South Africa). Under, for instance, the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court – not to be confused with the ICJ – the “crime of apartheid” is defined as a “crime against humanity” akin to, for instance, murder, extermination, enslavement, or torture. Also according to the Rome statute, what makes apartheid special is that it is “an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime.”

Pretty clear cut.

Will Israel and it's western supporters continue with their illegal actions.
