Why Yemen stands with Palestine

For months, analysts have warned of the possibility of Israel’s genocide in Gaza sparking a regional war. In Yemen, that war is already here. Beginning on Jan. 12, the US and UK have conducted a series of air strikes in Yemen in retaliation for its efforts to block Israeli shipping in the Red Sea’s Bab al-Mandab Strait. Just days later, the Biden administration declared Ansarallah, better known in the West as the Houthis, a terrorist organization.
The Pentagon has attempted to frame its latest war on Yemen as an act of self-defense to protect freedom of trade and navigation from “terrorism”. Yet Ansarallah has definite political motivations for its actions-stopping Israel’s genocide by applying pressure to end the siege of Gaza. As Yemeni Armed Forces spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree made clear in a statement, “ships bound for the Zionist entity will not pass through if food and medicine do not enter the Gaza Strip.”
Thus far, there are few indications that Ansarallah will prematurely end its blockade, or that the US will cease conducting air strikes against Yemen. Jehan Hakim of the Yemeni Alliance Committee joins The Real News for a conversation on Yemen’s recent history and the deep solidarity of its people with Palestine.

Yemen stands with Palestine because unlike the Nazis in the IDF they see Palestinians as human.

The world. Particularly our young people who will represents the future are going to remember e crimes of Zionist Israelis, just as Holocaust was remembered. From now on Genocide is going to be the focus and not Holocaust.................God bless late Ohio congressman James Traficant for warning us about Zionist Israelis and USA support of Israel. He was killed..... God has saved the world for the sake of 313 righteous people who fight for justice and human rights, are scattered around the world. they are called army of Imam Mahdy and Jesus. Wait you will see. Resistance is the only way to stand up to EVIL AND EVIL DOORS.

[@user-tg6zs6us3m]

Israel have blood on their hands.. I love Iran and Iranians. I am grateful to God that I was not raised Zionist Israelis. Zionist Israels should remember their Ten Commandments that God gave to Moses: 1- You shall have no other Gods before Me.? 2- You shall not Murder or kill.? 3- You shall not bear false witness?

Where are human rights in the crimes and massacres taking place in Gaza by Nazi-Zionism? An ugly wave has unfolded to the world and to rights organizations. It is just a playing card that America leads whenever it wants. We Yemenis will not be silent and we will stand on the side of Gaza with all the strength we have to support the Palestinian resistance. Salute to the heroes of the Yemeni Navy.

THE most patriotic thing Americans can do is to stop supporting this deadly two party circus! It's not right vs left, it's wrong vs right. I'm a senior, dad was an army officer, had two sisters that were Japanese American war orphans. It's taken me a lifetime to see how badly we've been lied to. If we allow our military to continue to force political coups, arm psychopaths and destroy countries, we're going to be on the losing side eventually. I'd like a world left for my grandson, for everybody's grandkids. Stop this insanity. Support independent journalists and the oppressed before we're ALL designated as terrorists!
