The missile strike on Israel on Saturday morning by the Houthis, an Iranian-backed militia in Yemen, marked an escalation in the monthlong U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran, bringing in a new actor who has now expanded the war beyond the Gulf to the Red Sea, and raises the possibility that the Houthis will again try to […]
Iran, Hizballah and other anti-US Islamic voices use Epstein scandal to smear US and Israel
There is indeed a “deep moral crisis” present within the “governing system of Western countries,” but it does not define the West.

Yemen: Houthis urge Arab and Islamic countries to adopt a unified Islamic stance against Israel

IDF Hits Houthis Harder
Those wild-eyed, rifle-raising, qat-chewing, allahu-akbaring grim-faced Houthis in Yemen just don’t give up. That’s the best that can be said for them.
