The recent US and UK actions can be taken as examples on how to cure the symptom while making the disease worse
Here’s an idea:
The Houthi’s can just not launch missiles at ships
Actually they can’t, they have a legal obligation under the UN Convention on Genocide to take extra-territorial actions in order to stop or prevent genocide. They are acting within international law. The ships going to Israel despite the active genocide are violating international law and complicit in the genocide themselves.
How do the Houthis know which ships are going to Israel? Can you prove they’ve only attacked ships bound for Israel?
Why is there a 39 nation coalition organizing against the Houthis? Aren’t a lot of those nations opposing Israel’s current actions?
Do you know the Houthis slogan of, “Death to America, Death to Israel, Death to the Jews, Victory to Islam”?
You’re fighting for the wrong side buddy
Sorry,
“Curse upon the Jews”
All ships relevant to this discussion are required to have an AIS transmitter and destination is one of the pieces of data they transmit. This is like asking "how do you know where that plane passing overhead is going?" to someone who has flightradar24 open.
Oh I wonder why that may be their message? Maybe because those two have a long history in the middle east in destabilizing it and killing innocent people? Do you honestly believe they hate us because they hate our freedom? Unbelievable.
Unbelievable that you defend those attacking random supply ships.
If they’re innocent, why is there a coalition formed against them?
So your logic is if there is a collation formed against someone then they're bad? What about the axis powers during WW2? They had a coalition against some countries does that mean those countries are bad??
There were significantly less nations allied in the axis than what formed against them.
Nice try tho
Not that your logic makes any sense to begin with because whats right or wrong isn't dependent on the coalition but, the coalition is only the US and the UK with support (whatever that means) from Australia, Bahrain, Canada and the Netherlands. That's only 2 countries, If we stretch the "support" that's 6 countries. The axis powers had 10 countries.

From the link you posted:
Where are you inventing those bullshit numbers?
Yeah and that original coalition fell. Why did they state that its only the US and UK that are conducting the bombing? You clearly lack reading comprehension. Do support what israel is doing by indiscriminately bombing civilians?
"If Iraq doesn't have WMDs, why is there a coalition formed against them?"
Simple, ships declare their destination and affiliation https://www.newarab.com/news/russia-china-ships-granted-safe-passage-yemens-houthis
