Correct. But the Houthis started hitting ships with no connection to Israel or the US and the shipping companies demanded protection (though many are now diverting anyway*, which has its own major problems and implications.)

*A lot more good AD ships would be needed to provide really good protection for all the traffic that goes, well, used to go through there.

I don’t know if that means Jews in general as well.

Seems probable, eh?

I assume they would specifically want Israeli Jewish shipping, but would settle for non Israeli Jewish owned/invested shipping.

I just want regional countries to protect their area.
Same goes for Europe and NATO.

On silentprofessionals, there’s maritime security positions that pay well.
Hot evac in Ukraine and Sudan too…
