The Houthi attacks in Bab el-Mandeb strait have completely halted the trade activities of the Port of Eilat, placing it in a complicated financial situation.
Cool! Let’s sanction Israel then! HRW squares that circle because two people can be wrong at once. Shooting civilians is not sanctioning. The US doesn’t sanction North Korea by blowing up South Korean shipping.
The US maintains its sanctions against the DPRK (and Cuba, and Iran, etc.) by having established a credible threat of violence against anyone, including civilians, that might attempt to ignore or circumvent them. Those sanctions also directly target civilians as well because they include banking, which has the practical effect of blocking things like medical supplies even if such goods are explicitly permitted in the sanction orders. The Yemenis are doing a comparatively better job of not targeting civilians in spite of the less sophisticated means at their disposal.

Since you know the Global North is aiding and abetting Israel’s genocide, and so obviously will do no such thing, why are you even saying that?
North Korea isn’t committing genocide.
You are being deeply unserious while a genocide in your name is in progress.
