Asonaijaaso:I am not picking side, and I dont condone killing of anyone but I believe in KILL AND BE KILLED. |

Uten9z:The cycle of violence is exactly what’s happening—“kill or be killed,” a tragic reality for many. And by that logic, anyone who holds that mantra, whether they’re on one side or the other, can be branded a terrorist.Depending on who owns the media. What’s even more disheartening is the fact that the world’s most powerful superpowers are battling the poorest nations, where the odds are overwhelmingly stacked against them. It’s a completely unbalanced and unfair fight. Yet, the narrative being pushed paints the underdog as the villain, while those with the power are seeking sympathy for their actions. In this situation, the real question is: who truly deserves our empathy? The wealthy superpowers that play games with the lives of the less fortunate, or the oppressed, who are simply fighting for survival? |

Asonaijaaso:Your arguments are very watery. You used the term "perceived genocide" and when I responded, you now turn around to criticize it. You say that they're firing ballistic missiles from civilian areas due to lack of resources? Does one who lack resources fire ballistic missiles? And try to engage a superior military in a fight, fueled by religious fundamentalism and extremism? There's no morality about it. Morality means prioritizing the life of your people and keeping them safe, not building military bases among them. Again, if the intent of the West was to wipe them out, it wouldn't take more than a few days of intense bombing. So quit playing the victim. If the Houthis possessed superior military power, would they spare their opponents the same way? Drop the moral pretensions. The Houthis and their supporters are terrorists. Period. About the Palestinians being able to leave Gaza - I'd ask you. Even in Nigeria, can a Nigerian just up and cross the border into Cameroon without permission? Does that make Nigeria a prison? Does the walls around Gaza not include Egyptian walls too? Why are the Houthis not targeting Egypt too? Remember to tell the Houthis anytime they want to attack a ship, or launch a drone or missile, that Violence begets violence. And you see this war - civilization will win. The Zionists will win. The barbaric terrorists will lose. The Houthis will lose. Just like Hamas and Hezbollah, and Assad have lost. So, your assertion that no side wins is false. Just wait and see. |

madridguy:Did Israel just stop aid to Gaza for no reason? Or you won't want to talk about that? Have they complied with the terms of the ceasefire and released hostages as expected? Would they break the deal and expect the other party not to break their own side of the deal too? |
| Re: Trump Launches Large-Scale Strikes On Yemen's Houthis (Photos) by Asonaijaaso: 10:02am On Mar 16, 2025 |
Mordecai:Your argument is based on many misconceptions and oversimplifications that do little to address the complexities of the situation at hand. Let me break this down: 1. Assumption of Religious War: You’re quick to label the Houthis as extremists and terrorists simply because they are Muslims, but this is a gross oversimplification. The Houthis are fighting a political and territorial battle. This is not some grand Islamic religious war, especially since they have been fighting Saudi Arabia, another Muslim-majority country. This is not a Yoruba vs. Igbo issue, but rather one rooted in regional power struggles, economic exploitation, and historical grievances. If Lagos fought Enugu over unresolved issues, no one would call it a “Yoruba vs. Igbo” war—similarly, the conflict in Yemen is a fight for autonomy and survival, not religious supremacy. 2. Firing Ballistic Missiles from Civilian Areas: You question the logic of firing ballistic missiles when resources are scarce. But let’s be real: when a group is under siege and outgunned, what do you expect them to do? The Houthis don’t have access to the same level of sophisticated military technology that their adversaries, like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, possess. The fact that they resort to such tactics speaks more to their desperation and survival instincts than to any notion of “fundamentalism.” Morality isn’t about firing missiles; it’s about recognizing that their survival is at stake. They are not fighting for supremacy—they’re fighting for their very existence in the face of overwhelming external aggression. You speak of “prioritizing the life of your people,” but you’re ignoring the fact that they are prioritizing their people by resisting invasion and occupation. 3. “If the West Wanted to Wipe Them Out…”: The idea that the West could wipe out the Houthis in days is naive and shows your lack of understanding of the complexity of the conflict. The intent of the West has been to undermine and destabilize the region, not to wipe out the Houthis. The Houthis are resilient, and this isn’t a game where one side just folds under a few airstrikes. You claim the Houthis would do the same if they had superior power. But let’s remember: they are not the ones invading foreign countries—they are defending their land from external forces. And let’s not forget: the Houthis are not just “terrorists” because you say so. They’re resistance fighters to foreign intervention, and calling them terrorists simplifies the situation in a way that serves no one’s interests. 4. Gaza and Borders: Your comparison between Gaza and Nigeria is a weak attempt to undermine the reality of Gaza’s situation. Palestinians don’t just face walls built by Israel—they face a comprehensive blockade that restricts their freedom of movement, commerce, and access to basic needs like food and medicine. To compare this to a border between Nigeria and Cameroon completely misses the point. The Palestinians are trapped, and their situation is far worse than a simple border dispute. The walls around Gaza include Egypt, sure, but they are controlled by Israel. Egypt has its own political reasons for being complicit, but that doesn’t erase the fact that the blockade is largely an Israeli policy. So, let’s not pretend this is as simple as you make it sound. 5. Civilization vs. “Terrorists”: Your sweeping statement that “civilization will win” and “the Zionists will win” is deeply flawed. The fight isn’t as black and white as you present it. The Houthis and their allies are not terrorists; they are people fighting for self-determination in the face of massive external intervention. Zionism doesn’t represent “civilization”—it represents a political ideology that has led to displacement, violence, and apartheid. You can’t just throw around terms like “civilization” to justify a position without critically examining the oppression and suffering on the other side. Your argument is rooted in reductive thinking, and it seems like you’re desperate to fit this conflict into a simple narrative of good versus evil. It doesn’t work that way. The reality is far more complex, and if you truly want to understand this, you need to step back and examine the history, the geopolitical dynamics, and the human suffering that fuels this resistance. The Houthis and the Palestinians are not terrorists—they are people fighting for their lives and sovereignty. So, before you go around calling them “terrorists,” maybe take a hard look at who the true oppressors are in these situations. |

Asonaijaaso:Don't change my Narrative, what I said was KILL AND BE KILLED. not Kill or be KIlled, this is an unequivocal statement that need not to be contradicted in your political balancing of line actions. Make I tell you no empathy for the wicked for as long as he justifies and continues in his understanding. The violence taketh it (peace) by force. Only a stronger man can bind the strong and take away its prey. No entity should nurse and live on etio-religious logics such as sociopathic behaviours that needs to be wade off or set aside as prio-civic actions, that most practitioners have of course voided and peacefully benefit other glorified ways. But for the rest that are ocultic and expect that after calculated bloodsheds, no one have the rights to challenge it acts and beliefs for its superiomacy of practice that's wrong. When they act and the action is retaliated they cried fawl and what empathy did they deserve, is it that they dont know they were weak and suppressed before that?. Isn't this reason of dominant, and self prioritizing that forced Hitler to want to eradicate the Jaws once at time because of Jealousy?,so let it not be another person's turn. If everyone should follow that parthen, the world is doom, because every other religion was once a conquest before modern civilisation. |

Asonaijaaso:Mordecai, it's quite clear that the guy you're engaging with can't express himself! I mean, who on earth would bother copying answers without even taking the trouble to verify the utter rubbish they're pasting? The parts he's copied aren't even remotely relevant to your original point, nor do they address the concerns you've raised. It's amusing, really, to see someone so utterly devoid of independent thought!😂😂 |

Asonaijaaso: Claiming they deserve to be “wiped out” just because they resist reflects the very kind of dehumanization we criticize in acts of terrorism. That logic—obliteration of millions because of political or ideological defiance—is genocidal by every moral and legal definition.Are Houthis "millions"? is the word genocide used to describe the targeting of armed groups or for defenceless civilians? |

Botragelad:What's the difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter? If the Fumani herdsmen invade and occupy your ancestral land ... and you decide to attack them by any means necessary .... poisoning their cows ... shooting them with home made guns etc .... my question to you ... should you be labeled a terrorist? If the herdsmen counter attack ... shooting some of your family members with AKs etc .... would it be right for someone to say you got what you deserve because you should not have attacked the herdsmen? If you can ...put your emotions in check and post a direct answer to the two questions based on the scenario. I dare you. It is your right to pretend you didn't read this ... or choose not to respond. I'll understand. @ topic. Another proxy war loading. The Houthis is not the target .... it's Iran. It's not the US that wants a war with Iran .. it's Israel. Israel controls the US and gets them to fight their wars. I suggest you search You Tube for Why are we fighting Netanyahu's War? by Professor Jeffrey Sachs . FYI ..Sachs has a history of being directly involved in crucial government to government negotiations and discussions. This is the most I can do ...share a source of information that is likely off your grid....and hopefully you can have a wider perspective of what is really happening in that part of the world |

madridguy:The Houthis have been terrorising that seaway long before Israel blocked aid entry into Gaza. And Israel blocked because hamas backed out of the negotiation which in the first instance was the reason for the ceasefire. |
| Re: Trump Launches Large-Scale Strikes On Yemen's Houthis (Photos) by Asonaijaaso: 10:21am On Mar 16, 2025 |
lexy2014:Figurative and literal are 2 different contexts. Who is counting, to 1 million to make it a genocide. Do you want to volunteer and go there and count ? Gaza also started with we will remove hamas and leave, 2 years later more innocent people are dead than hamas operatives. And Hamas is still alive and a lot of unrelated people have been genocided |

Originalsly:When did Israel ever do any of that? Are you quite certain you're remembering things correctly? I distinctly recall it was Hamas and the so-called Palestinians who brought this upon themselves on October 7. One would think it's only reasonable for Israel to take defensive measures, wouldn't you agree? Are yoy suggesting Israel should simply tolerate such attacks? |
| Re: Trump Launches Large-Scale Strikes On Yemen's Houthis (Photos) by justli: 10:26am On Mar 16, 2025 |
Asonaijaaso:Most recited and memorized, yes. But most analysed, no. Most Muslims don't even know what they are reciting. The duty of understanding is passed to the mallam, who then interprets as wishes. |

Uten9z:You are desperate to call it ethno-religious Forgetting the houthi's are at war with Saudi Arabia as well. Your grasp of this resistance is warped ....i dont think you can objectively think outside emotional religiosity as to why the Houthi's are resisting the largest armed forces in the world |

So all the missiles the houthis have fired to Israel is targeted at commerce abi. Slowly Allah by himself naim dey punish una with violence & endless wars Asonaijaaso: |

Asonaijaaso:Why are the fighting the war war that isn't there's, where are they getting arms and sponsorship, why are they attacking innocent people, why are they fighting non radicalised Muslims?. My answer to all this is one:Terahn What is your answer? |

xeju: Houthis fired more missiles at Saudi Arabia. You dont really know whats going on. You are hell bent on calling it a religious war.....lol Its land territory and right to survive. They are just instigating peoples emotions by calling it a religious war. Even if Palestinians were Christians, there would still be a war. Its more similar to Apartheid in South Africa. Dont let them deceive you. |

Uten9z: I am not a supporter of Tehran. But i am also not a stupid person that will listen to western media and believe everything they tell me. But if you can logically explain to me with evidence, or at least enough logic, as to why Iran will be sponsoring all these people on multiple fronts despite an economy in tatters due to economic sanctions. Please dont tell me you heard it on CNN or BBC. Convince me with Logic. Also tell me why the USA is always coming up with a false reason to start a war in countries that have significant oil reserve deposits e.g Iraq (there was no weapon of mass destruction, even Bush said so) Libya,Iran When they invaded Iraq all the news media, CNN, BBC were saying there was weapon of mass destruction without evidence. Today they are shouting that Iran is sponsoring houthis, Lebanese and Hamas without evidence as well. Very soon they will invade Iran. Do you see a pattern ?? |
