“We don’t care, we don’t care, we don’t care! Turn it into a major world war! My heart longs for the rifle! By god this life is forbidden for me. On God’s path bitterness tasted sweet..welcome o’ death, o’ our wish!”

“O’ stars of the night in the dark skies..O’ planets! O’ moon! O’ sun! Welcome! What was the sin of Hussein and the precious Ibn Al-Bader?! Was it the Quran or [being] a Hashemite?!

By god! Hussein and Ibn Al-Bader are precious…

We all redeem him! and to him we redeem! Whoever asks for us, ask Al-Jabali about us! Above the pride of Himyar! From our childhood, it saw us fighting. Like us, it did not live without an identity!

Even if you think the American's failed in their mission to stop the Houthis, it's ludicrous to think that after being in the Red Sea for months they were suddenly "scared off".

Yeah, because it's hosed. But don't worry, they're not curing anything at all.

American sailors love being kept on high alert for months on end. They love being shot at. It's the coolest thing in the world to think about being roasted alive at any minute with minimal warning. Can't even see it coming. And there's nowhere to escape.

Except the Houthis didn't have that capability. They had no weaponry that could be stealthily deployed and used.

The carrier group shot down plenty of attempts at their ships.

If they were "scared", wouldn't you think they'd leave immediately?

DogGunn, in case you just genuinely aren't aware, there is a lot of discussion about the AnsarAllah logo that you can read about, including the current spokesman for the organisation explicitly saying that they don't wish any ill will onto Jewish people and that their only opposition is to Israel and the Zionists in control of it. They've also explicitly said that they consider anti-Zionist Jews to be allies in their cause.

It's an unfortunate situation, but the reason people in this thread aren't bothered by the slogan is because they understood what it said and went "man what is up with that?" and looked into it and came away with the conclusion that it isn't antisemitic.

You might disagree with that conclusion, but you aren't going to catch anyone out by going 'but don't you know what it says?!', and no one itt is antisemitic regardless of their opinions of AnsarAllah. At worst they just disagree with you about the intent of the slogan - if they agreed with you that it was antisemitic they'd agree that it was bad.

If not:

https://www.navytimes.com/opinion/2024/03/05/rearming-us-navy-ships-at-sea-is-no-longer-an-option-but-a-necessity/

quote:

One simple step can “revolutionize surface warfare,” as U.S. Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro put it at the latest naval conference WEST in San Diego: rearming our warships at sea. Today the only way to reload vertical launching system cells — the mainstay of the Navy’s front-line warship — is to pull into port, often taking warships out of action for weeks at a time.

Consider the situation in the Red Sea. For our Navy’s warships engaging the Houthi rebel group, reloading VLS cells would require a transit through the Suez Canal to ports in Greece or Italy, about 2,000 miles or more away. This lost time, under persistent Houthi attacks, proves this ability to reload underway is no longer a luxury — it’s a necessity.

Perhaps they should hire a vexillologist to assist them with a new flag then if that is really their belief.

Sure? Personally I think their logo is less important than their words and actions, and from the interviews I've watched I get the impression that the current generation of members feels the same way.

No one here is going to withhold support for their material actions against Israel over one line on a flag that they themselves have stated they don't take literally as written.
