#Yemen's Houthis

Houthis attacked American aircraft carrier & Israel

On 17 January 2025, Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for rocket and drone attacks on Israeli cities and the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S Truman in the Red Sea.

The Houthis, expressing solidarity with Palestinians, vowed to continue operations against Israel and its allies.

The group also targeted key shipping routes in the region.

In related news, a secret airstrip near Socotra Island, suspected to be built by the UAE, is nearing completion, potentially for military operations related to anti-Houthi efforts.

For the 21st week in a row, the Yemeni masses gathered in all governorates for their million-man march in support of Palestine, this week under the title "You Are Not Alone...Steadfast With Gaza."

Protestors held up banners of Aaron Bushnell, the 25-year-old American soldier that self-immolated in front of the zionist embassy in Washington DC in support of Gaza.

The march organizers again reaffirmed the continuation of demonstrations and marches in support of Palestine, as well as the continuation of military mobilization and training, which has so far trained 237,000 new Yemeni soldiers.

They condemned the disgraceful stance and collusion of Arab regimes with the zionist entity, while praising the operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces, asserting that they will not stop until the aggression on Gaza ceases and the siege is lifted.

Finally, they called for the continued boycott of American and zionist products.

Multiple posts with over 25k notes stanning the Houthis. The fucking Houthis. Who brought back chattle slavery to Yemen, who are directly responsible for the Yemeni famine that has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths, who redirect international food aid into their military faction, who have "a curse upon the Jews" on their flag, who rounded up and expelled the last few dozen Jews remaining in Yemen in 2021, who openly sex traffic Ethiopian women, who don't allow women to travel without a male guardian even for essential medical care, who torture and execute their political enemies, who have started to oppertunistically attack random ships that are neither coming nor going from Israel to fund their oppressive regime. Those Houthis. Those Houthis. Multiple posts with over 25k notes about how they are "coming through" for Palestine.

Are you people fucking insane? I wish I had a nicer way to say this but this website is literally filled with some of the stupidest and most hateful people I have ever had the misfortune to encounter. How many times do you people need to learn that some idiot on Twitter is not where you should be getting your news???

A reminder that Anti-Israel doesn’t mean “Pro-Palestinian”.

The militant faction referenced here is Ansar Allah (aka The Houthi Movement, commonly known as just “the Houthis”), a totalitarian theocracy that does not mince words about hating not just Israel, but the Jewish people. Their slogan, which they display as the symbol for their movement, is “God is the Greatest; Death to America; Death to Israel; A Curse On the Jews; Victory to Islam”.

Also no, the Houthis didn’t risk jack shit for Palestine. They’re one in a long line of militant factions who are directly responsible for the humanitarian crisis in Yemen. Abandoning their own people’s humanitarian needs to wage war isn’t a “risk” for them; it’s standard operating procedure.

The people obscuring this fact to position them as heroes for opposing Israel are engaging in dishonest, manipulative, and immensely antisemitic propaganda. (Also, like, “puppets”? Really? That’s not even subtle.) You do not even have to scratch beyond the surface of just “who is this referencing, and what is their slogan that they plaster everywhere on everything?” to know this. The fact that anyone would fall for it demonstrates gross negligence & a deep & unserious lack of curiosity on their part. There’s no excuse.

But what if you did actually spend more than 5 seconds to know more than 2 facts about the government of Yemen? Well, you might find:

There is a long history of antisemitic violence in Yemen. It culminated in 1949, and roughly 47,000 of Yemen’s 50,000+ Jews fled to Israel. A few remained, but the Houthi regime (which formed in the 90’s and is the one that is now attacking Israeli ships) is so openly, explicitly, & genocidally antisemitic that it forced even that remnant to flee.

The last Jew in Yemen, Levi Salem Musa Murhabi, is currently rotting in a Houthi prison where he has been illegally detained & tortured for the last 7+ years. Our last sign of life was in 2022, so we don’t actually know if he’s still alive.

The country that tried to murder all their Jews & continues to torture the only one that remains is now attacking the country where all those Jews went, all the while chanting “death to Israel, a curse on the Jews.” Do the math. They didn’t “show up” for Palestinians. They pulled up on Israel because that’s where all the Jews they’ve been trying to murder for years live.

Idk if it's just me, but it's weird that you have people who claim to be against black and brown people being killed or harmed, yet are so willing to support groups like Hezbollah and the Houthi who literally harm black and brown people.

And I know the answer is antisemitism. The enemy (hezbollah and houthi) of my enemy (jews) is my friend. The reason why I've put jews instead of Israelis is well, because hezbollah and the houthi don't want to kill just Israelis, they want to kill jews. Like literally for example part of the houthi slogan is "curse to jews". If you're supporting those groups because you hate Israel, no bestie you hate jews.

When you wave the hezbollah flag, you are supporting the killing and oppression of Syrians. When you wave the houthi flag you are supporting the killing and enslaving of africans. By wishing these groups to be powerful, you are directly wishing for the continuation of harm to black and brown people.

Who is Israeli MP Ofer Cassif, why is he backing South Africa at the ICJ?

An Israeli politician is taking a bold stance against the genocide he says his country is perpetrating in Gaza.

“My constitutional duty is to Israeli society and all its residents,” he wrote on X on January 7. “Not to a government whose members and its coalition are calling for ethnic cleansing and even actual genocide. They are the ones who harm the country and the people, they are the ones who led to South Africa’s appeal to The Hague, not me and my friends.”

Bless every single one of you and may you be protected.

Reminder that the Houthis have not killed a single person during the blockade, they have blocked trade. They will stop delaying shipping when the genocide stops. That is the point. And yet, Yemen has had to suffer and their people have been murdered by two of the biggest villain nations on the planet.
