Houthi ballistic missile strikes US-owned and operated ship: US Central Command

They're literally named after a guy named Houthi, who was not, like, the 4th Imam from 875AD, but was alive until a few years ago. He watched Die Hard. They're a splinter from Zaydi Shi'a, which makes them a subset of a minority in Yemen, which is majority Sunni. The Houthis like to blow off steam by blowing up Sunni mosques. Unfortunately, the Arabian Peninsula boasts some of the world's least competent governments, which operate the literal least competent armed forces in the world, so a well organized IRGC-backed Shi'a David Koresh stands a good chance of running the whole show there.

>Meanwhile Israel has recently expressed a desire to occupy their neighbors as well as fully settling Gaza and West Bank after they are ethically cleansed.

I have not seen anyone say this before. That's a pretty extreme position that doesn't quite jive logically with the facts I know.

Israel quite obviously is a technological level above Palestine, they could have done this many times before. In fact, every rocket attack for years prior that was thwarted by iron dome could have been justification; but they decided on peace and deescalation.

>They also want to create the Ben Gurion strait to compete with the suez.

I havent heard that one is a very long time. That stuff hasn't be a thing since before I was born. And im not a spring chicken. I bet the Saudis would LOVE for this to happen though with Neom. Egypt will never consider

>Look up “Greater Israel”.

I am familiar. As a Canadian, I know various, mostly orthodox jews who oppose israel because biblically israel must be freely given. Which would be greater israel.

That isn't what's happening here though quite obviously and israel hasnt expanded their borders to any significance.

>It would seem Israel is the root of Egypt’s source of problems.

I totally disagree. Egypt warned Israel of the impending attack, though israel says they werent warned.

Egypt and Israel are probably the most friendly they have ever been today. Dare I even say Israel and Egypt are on the same side in this grander conflict which is obviously orchestrated by Iran.

Egypt rushed to build a rather respectable wall between them and Palestine and will be taking 0 refugees.

Hamas spit in Egypt's face. Egypt is quite respectably working toward peace and may actually be the best chance of peace for Palestine.

Pretty standard war at this point. Palestine will have to come to Israel with some major concessions.

> Earlier on Monday, the Houthis attempted to launch an anti-ship ballistic missile that failed in flight and crashed in Yemen, Central Command said.

I suppose regularly is a bit over the top, but forgive a boy some exaggeration for comic effect.
