Terrorists invoke "international law" to condemn Israel attacking Houthi targets - even as they praise Houthi missile attacks on Israel

The complaints out of the Iranian axis of resistance in response to Israel's attack on Houthi positions last night are about as ridiculous as you can imagine.

Hamas issued in a statement on Thursday: "The aggression on Yemen is a dangerous escalation and an extension of the aggression on our Palestinian people and the aggression on Syria and the Arab region."

Islamic Jihad "condemned the barbaric aggression that targeted Yemeni sites and facilities in the capital, Sana'a, and the port of Hodeidah, by the criminal Zionist entity." At the same time, it praised the Houthi missile attack on Israel, saying "the blessed missile strike by the Yemeni Ansar Allah Movement, which targeted the depth of the enemy entity with all boldness and courage.....the great destruction it caused confirm the bravery of the free Yemeni in confronting the Zionist enemy entity."

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said the strikes "constitute a blatant violation of the international law and the UN Charter."

Keep in mind that Iran has been promising a massive attack on Israel for nearly two months now. Apparently that is somehow not a violation of the UN Charter.

As for the Houthis themselves, they did some creative editing of the timeline. "The Government of Change and Construction in Sana'a condemned the Israeli aggression on civilian facilities in Yemen, calling it a blatant violation of international law and human rights. It also praised the military operation that targeted occupied Jaffa with "Palestine-2" hypersonic missiles as an initial response."

The Houthi attack on Israel came before Israel attacked Yemeni targets.

Perhaps the Houthis are slightly more self-aware than Iran on the hypocrisy of shooting missiles to Israel and then complaining that Israel's responses are violations of international law.
