The only difference between you and them is where their empathy lies. War is awful shit, but often used to end other much more awful, and less visible shit.

You do realize we’re talking about the war on terror here right? If you think there’s something more awful than bombing an apartment building and killing 53 people being prevented by this shit then I don’t even know what to say.
Okay, and you think these bombings will lead to a regime change in Yemen? The Saudis tried that first. Low to moderate level foreign conflicts with a widely hated enemy (which the West and Israel are) do nothing but strengthen the ruling government. Hell, even a full-scale war isn’t at all guaranteed to remove the rulers from power, because it gives them legitimacy that they otherwise lack. This is why Hamas is still in power despite 18 years of blockades, three wars and a genocide.
Just because someone tried it and it didn’t work, doesn’t mean you just say “fuck it”. You try new methods and keep working at the problem until it’s solved.

I looked up what this is about:
So maybe you’re right, although I wouldn’t call what’s happening in Gaza “less visible”.
I think they meant in general without going to deep into this specific instance of warfare

Well look into the deplorable shit happening in Yemen and see if you can find some things to say.

But this bombing wasn’t about the “deplorable shit” happening in Yemen. It was about access to easier shipping routes. Thats it.
+50 dead in this attack so boats didn’t have to go around the horn of Africa.
