The fact the the US freaked out about this and spent the money it did trying and somewhat failing to stop it says otherwise.

It's pretty clear that Ansarallah are specifically targeting ships going to Israel, too. They also stopped during the short cease fire.

There is a simple cheap way too end this that doesn't include trying to kill people we've already tried to genocide from 2015 to ... I can't remember when Ansarallah won.

It isn't. Only 5 ships targeted out of over 20 actually had anything to do with Israel. With various others, they basically find one Israeli national working for a parent company of the one that owns the vessel, and then claim that means it's Israeli.

Saudi Arabia blockaded Yemen. The US joined in from 2015 to 2016, then left, SA kept it up all on their own after that. Claiming that the US genocided them is a massive, disingenuous stretch.

Your claim is basically the same as saying that Iran took over Yemen and started the civil war, not the Houthis.
