Framing actual genocide as "guys you don't like" is so funny to me.

Entirely ignoring the point.

Perhaps shockingly to you, being against genocide doesn't make you a hero. Jeffrey Dahmer was presumably against the Holocaust. He's not going down in history as a hero.

Was Dahmer eating people to apply pressure to stop genocide?

Because that's the equivalent analogy.

His Dahmer analogy was bad.

But a terrible person who can correctly surmise that genocide is bad, is still a terrible person.

The Houthis have been committing war crimes for years before Oct 7th. They're not some freedom fighter group that popped up in 2023 only doing bad things to serve their greater goal of stopping Israeli genocide.

That's my entire point, they're not heroes just because you agree with their stance on Israel. I hope you don't agree with their stance on torture and child murder. You are against indiscriminate bombings of civilians when Israel does it, surely you're opposed to it when the Houthis do it.

Two organizations who disagree with each other can both be bad.
