Houthis bomb Israeli airport

[Saltwater60]

When will it end. When will the world atop this and help Israel who continues to get attacked. Honestly they never seem to be the people who start anything and keep to themselves. The people that keep attacking them are not good people IMO and the last few have been nothing but terrorist or rebels.

It's because they control the weather.

None of this shit will ever stop until every last one of them has been exterminated.

First let me say that I am for the Israeli State and that they have been under attack by largely islamic countries/groups since their founding. That being said, countries must be able to defend and hold their own lands. Nearly no national border exists now as it did 100 years ago, some countries no longer exist, some have balkanized, and some have been recently created. If the Israeli State is to remain a sovereign nation, they absolutely must be able to hold their lands as independently as they can. (and I believe they do a pretty good job of that). If they require massive intervention from allies to keep their homeland, then they are no more sovereign than any vassal state. (and I believe there is that element as well regarding US support). Imagine if we had sat out the European part of WW2 (as Joe Kennedy told Roosevelt regarding allying with England and France "you're backing the wrong horse") The German States borders would contain much of Western Europe......If Germany could hold them. If we had accepted less than unconditional surrender from Japan, many places ie. China, Burma, etc. would be part of the Japanese Nation. If the US becomes too weak to hold its borders, we'll be picked apart by the various nations of the world, annexed, divvied up, and taken over by other nations. Don't think that the other nations of the world aren't salivating over that prospect. (along with self defense capabilities, nations also need the capability for self sufficiency). Therefore for a nation to remain a nation it must be able defend itself. Israel is like the lonely settlers outpost, surrounded by Indians, and therefore may require some Cavalry support. There has been strife in these particular regions for all of recorded history, not sure how to fix that.

Agreed but the issue is many as actors are helping these groups attack Israel. It’s a rough thing to navigate honestly. They are a very small country and being attacked from nearly every level. It’s not like the USA where they are surrounded by water except from two fronts they are landlocked.
You are correct they do great job of defending themselves and honestly they need to go farther than they are but I feel other countries are powered holding them back. The Gaza coverage is BS.

It won't stop, until one of the groups no longer exists in any organized capacity.
The blood feud runs too deep.

And even then it would only be on pause while they rebuild their numbers, even if it takes decades.

The number against Israel is astonishing to me. I don’t really get it. A tiny little country that holds not strategic value and no real mineral or oil production. It’s all religious based crazies that want to kill them because they believe different things. Doesn’t the left preach acceptance but then screams about how they want Israel to die?? Same with the Muslims and how peaceful they are expect to Americans and Israelites for the most part. I don’t think all Muslims are violent

Interesting because we've been bombing the houthis non stop for about a month (something not really covered by any mainstream news organization). Yet they still have the capability to launch these rockets.

Someone is trying to create a wider war over in the middle east. I'm so cynical it wouldn't surprise me if our own CIA was helping the houthis in Yemen.

Iran have them the weapons is the speculation.

Proxy wars are fought by cowards.....

Yes it's common knowledge Iran is arming them and has been for years. They are using them to create problems first for Saudi Arabia, then the nations whose ships pass by them and now the Israelis. No skin off the Iranians noses if thousands of houthis die as a result.

These things must be underground because they keep launching them despite getting bombed for weeks.

Houthis seem to be invulnerable to pain.........................we must find their limit.

Not underground.

More like just arrived from Iran yesterday.

It wasn't always this way, but for the last decade or more 90% of the trouble in the middle east has been Iran's work.

You will never solve the problem until you cut off the head.

Looks like maybe this will be the "reason" to attack Iran

Man I support Israel but fighting more wars for them could be the end of them. Sure will be hard to keep this up for them.
