I wouldn't agree with the term ignore. Israel has been at the center of many Arab heads of state, The Turkish government, UNGA attention, attention from journalists(Video, credentialed, and or freelance), and the reason they are getting this much attention is not because of the left, it's because liberals in power are paying attention to Gaza.
Ok, perhaps ignore was a poor choice of words, but Israel's actions have been tolerated, or supported, by at least most of those in a position to do anything.
So are you making the argument that the Houthis may cause famines in say Sudan, or Egypt reducing social programs, or Ukrainian foodstuffs, and fertilizers not getting to global majority countries is worth hurting Israel over its bombing of Gaza? It sounds like you are playing favorites with which global majority of people you are endorsing getting harmed.
Tolerated???? Most countries in the region do not have nuclear weapons, do you want Egypt to throw its troops at Israel, and get their troops killed by Israeli air, and ground forces if they lose, and if they win and almost destroy Israel for Cairo and the Nile River Basin to get nuked by Israeli Nuclear Triads WMDs. Or Turkey who would be sanctioned, kicked out of NATO, and would also lose or possibly have Ankara get nuked if Israel loses. It's impossible to target Israel with military means due to their second-strike nuclear capabilities.

They aren't the countries who are in a position to do anything, I meant places like the US giving them massive amounts of weapons.
No I'm not because contending that the Houthis are going to do that by stopping a handful of Israeli ships is absolutely bonkers, it's the unserious fantasies of bad videogame writers and neolib warhawks. You might as well say the Taliban are going to destroy the silk road. Your point is completely unhinged and divorced from reality.
If we don't give them weapons, the French, and very likely the Germans will. France will sell to anyone.
Why won't you answer my posts with actual credible evidence, your own posts point to vessels headed to India, and a Russian oil tanker being stopped. Those aren't Israeli vessels.
No I meant the road because that's the level of fantasy we're operating on. Your own post was that the straight is responsible for 10%-15% of world trade, the Houthis got like 30 ships in a few months, and trying to say the Houthis are going to kill India by doing this. I'd be trying to prove a negative, instead you should be trying to prove that the Houthis are going to kill all these people you say they're going to kill.If we don't give them weapons, the French, and very likely the Germans will. France will sell to anyone.
France may soon overtake Russia as the world’s No. 2 arms exporter
Reports of new deals to sell French arms to India and Qatar are just the latest sign that France’s defence industry is gaining pace. The news comes as Russian arms exports decline in the wake of the…www.france24.com

There is no Silk Road, did you mean the Belt, and Road initiative by China which Italy has dropped out of, and which the Taliban agree with more than the Italians?
They will sell, not give. Ok, yes, they'd end up with weapons, but it'd be their own economy that'd have to face the cost of their wars. Giving Israel US dollars that can only be spent on US weapons is a terrible idea.If we don't give them weapons, the French, and very likely the Germans will. France will sell to anyone.

The Israeli economy right now is a wartime economy. Not a peacetime economy. And they have proven to be adept at finding weapons even when the US won't sell them any. Lookup 1945.
You do realize that a container going from 2000 dollars to 4000 dollars means increased food prices for everyone in the region. Times that by .9 since 90% of ships have had to go around Africa and we are looking at transportation costs that will skyrocket the costs of food. Do you eat food? You care if people in Sudan or Egypt eat food.
1945 was rather different. Anyway, I'm not saying that Israeli could not produce it's own weapons, or buy from elsewhere, obviously it does both. But not giving them free weapons systems while they are using them to commit genocide should be a no-brainer.
It means the US has a veto on the part of Israel's military action. I would rather they have that then create another non-US align rogue state with a nuclear triad.
Ah yes the great non-famines during Covid.

And notably many more multiples of price than what the Houthis are theoretically causing.Ah yes the great non-famines during Covid.
COVID-19 Brief: Impact on Food Security – USGLC
The COVID-19 pandemic increased global food insecurity in almost every country by reducing incomes and disrupting food supply chains—conditions worsened worldwide by Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. The pandemic continues to create devastating effects on global hunger and poverty –...
It has no logistics capable of supporting significant military effort at that distance, no.
Again rising food prices are bad, and anti-free trade stopped precedents are bad.
No, they can, Iran is quite in control of a Shia crescent from Iran to Iraq to Syria to Lebanon, and even somewhat Yemen. They could very much force Iraq to use their land, and they could send MBTs, and other armored units to Syria of course it would cost lots of money and other resources, but they could do it alongside Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq which all have militias loyal to and getting paid by Iran.
Gibberish.
Saudi Arabia couldn't even fight off the Houthis on their territory. The UAE was the real MVP of that war. Turkey would be mad but there is a chance they wouldn't care given the fact that they chose S-400 from Russia over the F-35 and their wildcard status. Iraq's majority Shia population is in firm control of most of the country minus the northern regions where the Kurds live.
You keep saying that, and then cheering for murder to prevent any sort of pressure against them. Absolute blackpilled defeatism.
