US launches airstrikes by fighter jets and ships on Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels

43. It is a naivete most people have that

"scheduled airlines" are the only flights using an airport especially in these circumstances and with cargo carriers. Much of that service is charter. Do I need to explain the difference between charter and scheduled? Do you think someone running a charter service is going to just ignore the risk of further strikes to their planes and personnel? Much has happened since January 2024 such as Ras Isa was functioning recently. I expect since you feel that an airport being bombed repeatedly is not an issue about safety that you will be on the next chartered flight. Have a happy trip. As I have stated before it is understood that someone who strikes receives a strike in return but it is not acceptable to just ignore the civilian population and their situation while doing so. Except for some people around the world who apparently think otherwise. If you believe that every air operation regardless of US or Israeli goes as planned and only the "bad guys" are hit then you must own the Brooklyn Bridge by now. Hodeidah was the main port for receiving food aid for that area. Do you think the ports that are in the government control are going to be able to ship aid to the Houthi controlled areas? If so you understand nothing of conflict in general or this one in particular. It is obvious you also do not understand port/shipping/distribution operations.

The fact of the matter seems that no amount of destruction and death or the acts that bring it about are unacceptable to many around the world. But we have treaties about the conduct of conflict and civilian infrastructure and civilian populations drawn up and agreed to by people who understand that the blinding urge for retaliation doesn't excuse any and all behavior or means and scope of that retaliation. They realized what people become when they lower themselves to certain levels of acceptance of unnecessary actions that impact civilian populations and dismissal of things that impact their suffering. Of course we still have huge numbers of people around the world who think "anything goes".

By the way you have no idea how the warehouses at Hodeidah are configured or differentiated for use and who has control. It is pretty clear that you feel none of these actions have the slightest impact on the reception and distribution of aid. Apparently when the UNRWA personnel in Gaza can't move because of lack of assurance of not being bombed or shot by the IDF it isn't a matter affecting distribution in your eyes and previous incidents are just "all forgotten". Or perhaps aid workers and NGO's working in conflict zones know quite well about the impact and interruption to distribution that occurs since they've lost hundreds of their personnel over the years to "accidents" or "misunderstandings". Oh wait a minute. How silly of me to think that attacks on and near aid reception/distribution areas might have an impact on operations. Nope can't possibly be because I've been assured that everything is just fine.
