You’re answering an argument I didn’t make. I’m just pointing out that these arguments about “legality” and “legitimacy” in Yemen are stupid as fuck. There is an internationally recognized government, which supports bombing operations but doesn’t control most of Yemen which is controlled by the Houthis, which supposedly support Palestine but in practice are just theocratic Iranian puppets.
Claiming that one is “legitimate” is a political act, and maybe we could be honest about that for five seconds instead of flip-flopping between the two depending on who’s being oppressed.
Even more interesting how you are only capable of seeing things in black and white. Stoning people is bad. Bombing people is also bad.
