    Sanctions are not a blockade. Sanctions would be the Houthis stopping all of their own trade with Israel for example. The Houthis blockading Israel mesns they try to stop everybody from trading with Israel by force. Hence a blockade is an act of war.

    And no I do not believe somebody being vegan is an act of war.

      but we’re not talking about something being an act of war

      we’re talking about whether it’s morally justifiable

      are you saying any offensive war is automatically unjustifiable?
