UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, Reem Alsalem, says countries who advocate women’s rights must ‘walk the talk’, applying their principles consistently and without selective advocacy by avoiding arms transfers that facilitate the killing of Palestinian women by Israel.

Pregnant women, mothers and young girls are particularly vulnerable, she explains, as they face a sharp increase in miscarriages, malnutrition, and severe dehydration due to the dire circumstances.

“Mothers and would-be mothers have been targeted by the genocidal machine,” explains Alsalem. “They cannot even feed their newborn kids, not to mention the terror and desperation they feel because of the constant need to flee seeking safety in a place where there is no safety, the bombardments, the constant attack, the arbitrary executions, destruction of their families, family homes and with it the photos and items commemorating their family lives.”

    It absolutely happened. This is such a silly lie. You were also warned multiple times that you would be banned if you didn’t stop defending the Houthis from recruiting child soldiers.

    And now you’re lying that you never defended them? You can’t even be consistent in your political beliefs?

      Can you quote the part where I defended the Houthis using child soldiers? Oh wait you can’t because that never happened you just make things up.

      According to this logic if someone says they like Joe Biden forgiving student loans that means they are supporting the Genocide in Gaza.

      But of course it doesn’t, because you only separate the action from the actor when the actor is a white liberal. Suddenly you discover nuance and all colors of gray.

        Tell you what, you agree with this factual statement and I’ll unban you:

        The Houthis are child-killing war criminals.

          That comment is factually correct.

          But I still support the Houthi’s blockading the Red Sea.

            If you had only said that before, you would not have been banned in the first place. You were given multiple chances to say that. I will, however, unban you.

            I expect your next thing will be to insult me for doing that too, so go for it.

              I literally said they were using drone boats not suicide bombers for their attacks in the red sea. Your imagination must have taken a wild turn.

              Let me help you clarify how the hard to accept reality works.

              The Houthis are child-killing war criminals.

              Iran are child-killing war criminals.

              Joe Biden is a child-killing war criminal.

              Donald Trump is a child-killing war criminal.

              Saudi Arabia are child-killing war criminals.

              Luxembourg are child-killing war criminals.

              Russia are child-killing war criminals.

              China are child-killing war criminals.

              Hamas are child-killing war criminals.

              America are child-killing war criminals.

              Hezbollah are child-killing war criminals.

              And we can keep going. Judging any group for their past actions is a fools errand.

                Insults. As I predicted.

                You could have at least acknowledged that I unbanned you.

                  If you provide me with the comment where I defended the Houthi’s using child soldiers I’ll acknowledge you unbanning me.

                    If you’re going to pretend you weren’t unbanned, I can go ahead and ban you again… No point unbanning someone who won’t acknowledge that they are no longer banned.

                    Up to you.

                    Edit: I’ll give you an hour. If you don’t want to admit you’re unbanned by then, I guess you didn’t want to be in the first place.

            I think you should join them, so you can block the red sea together. I am pretty sure you would enjoy life in Yemen.
