Yemen, Yemen make us proud, turn another ship around!

From 2022:

"The agencies sent the letter because they were told by Whitehall officials that the home secretary, Priti Patel, in particular was pushing the case for the Houthis to be designated as a terrorist organisation under the Terrorism Act, as part of a review of UK policy in Yemen.

The proposal also has the strong support of some Gulf states, especially Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Saudi oil installations and civilian targets have been hit by Houthi missiles, while the UAE was hit by Houthi-fired missiles in January."

*Around one billion pounds in aid since 2015

*About 21 million Yemenis – two-thirds of the population – rely on aid to survive

• The charity Save the Children have stated that the impact of the security threat in the Red Sea is “already being felt by humanitarian actors as disruption to trade is pushing up prices and causing delays in shipments of lifesaving goods”

*Various charities have called on the Houthis, US and UK to scale back or cease their activities. Basically there will be a very large humanitarian disaster in a few weeks if things continue as they are

oh

I suggested that, and it was before I saw the Tim-Houthi or whatever they call it story.

The fascination with the bad boy with added reliance on TikTok minus any knowledge, or maybe denial, about the essence of these "fighters" has a lot to answer, I think.

And while I think of it - thank goodness the Israelis destroyed Iran’s nuclear capability (which is what they are REALLY mad about 🤣). thank you Israel for doing the world a favour. Imagine Iran with nukes!!!!! Such Wankers - firing rockets into 3 countries!! Absolute wankers and out of control. Glad they targeted ISIS though- another load of wankers

They are thick. Spend too much time on the internet. And are likely to be anti-Semitic / bigoted. Because they are thick and spend too much time on the internet.

What the H-A-M-A-S sketch on SNL?

Editing because just remembered the pirate that looks like the actor. Yes that something isn't it

@Trulywonderful are you discussing timhouthi chalemet?

I know that's ridiculous.

If not I can write you a death threat chant or motto if you feel left out

Something about massacring Giraffes but I will get in trouble with PETA

Well yes

Unless the support is from ladies that like the Houthi bad boy thing according to someone the other day. They don't exactly turn me on because they want to kill me and my family. However will except some people have a shockingly bad taste in men.

Actually I would say geopolitics don't really apply to this conflict in quite the same way they would other conflicts or issues.

Also who the majority or minority is doesn't fit the west vs others argument that some try to push. That narrative is easily proven wrong just by looking more closely at who are the majority or minority of supporters in different countries.

Anyway as Giraffe very pointedly pointed out this isn't the subject of the thread. So maybe start another thread on the topic.

It was a general question for anyone to answer.

I find it interesting how what views are considered to be majority/minority or appropriate/inappropriate are influenced by geopolitics.

What you're not Jewish?

😁

As my father had to leave his home in Turkey because of that vile little man and his minions. I don't take anything he says as being more than part of an agenda

Turkey is wonderful and full.of wonderful people that except Jewish people openly. The Turkish authorities and their fans however mean it isn't easy or sometimes safe to be openly Jewish and living there.

It is no coincidence that there are lots of articles labelled 'turkey's double standard on terrorism'

Turkey strikes Kurdish parts of Syria all the time.

Anyway that's no new thing. Erdogan made that statement a couple of months ago.

@Teentaxidriver I fear that situation is widespread hence the reluctance to deal with outright antisemitism and terror apologists at the marches.

How do you feel about the Turkish president labelling Israel a ‘terror state’?

Please note l, I don’t think that is an appropriate chant.
