You’ll note one of the specific purposes the link lists for the shipping attacks is to distract from domestic failures in Yemen.

It’s not an outlandish position to say that the Israeli/Hamas conflict is a secondary reason for the Houthi shipping attacks.

I don't disagree with that. Actions can have many intentions. But that doesn't mean they don't oppose the genocide and are using it unscrupulously to attack ships (which the parent was implying). The majority of muslims In Yemen, regardless of sect, support Gaza and oppose the genocide. This is a good way to take a moral stand, gain public support and further legitimize their government, and be a thorn in the side of the US.
