Houthis Pause Red Sea Attacks, Wait for Media to Notice Gaza
So, the Houthis have paused their Red Sea attacks. Their condition? A permanent halt to the war on Gaza. This isn't exactly a complex negotiation, yet it rarely makes headlines beyond a brief mention of 'de-escalation.' The dominant narrative, carefully curated by cable news and think tanks funded by defense contractors, frames these actions as unprovoked aggression, not as a response to a
documented humanitarian catastrophe. While Western leaders chastise the Houthis for disrupting shipping lanes, they conveniently forget that these same leaders continue to greenlight arms shipments to Israel. One might wonder why a blockade preventing humanitarian aid to Gaza is acceptable, but a blockade impacting global commerce is an act of war. It seems civilian lives are only worth worrying
about when they impact the price of oil. How many 'escalations' does it take before we question whose interests are truly being served?
