There is indeed a “deep moral crisis” present within the “governing system of Western countries,” but it does not define the West. Individual perpetrators are responsible for corruption and abuse; none of these corrupt officials is acting in accord with sanctioned religious tenets. For example, “senior Houthi official Hazam al-Assad wrote on social media that […]
Saudi-UAE relations strained after Saudi bombing of Emirati weapons shipment in Yemeni port city
The evolving Saudi-UAE strain potentially affects global energy markets, not to mention regional politics. The central issue of why the UAE backs the Southern Yemeni separatists: Yemen’s more than a decade-old civil war involves Iran-backed Houthi rebels controlling most of the north and a Saudi-led coalition supporting the internationally recognized Yemen government in the south. […]
Ten Years of War Between Islamic Forces Devastates Yemen
Detained local United Nations staff will face trial based on the suspicion that they are linked to an Israeli airstrike which killed top Houthi leaders in Yemen, the head of Yemen’s Houthis told Reuters on October 31.

Yemen: Houthis release 5 detained UN workers, 15 foreign staff remain confined to compound
On August 31, the Houthis (Ansar Allah) raided UN offices in Sanaa and detained 19 employees. They later released the deputy director of the UNICEF office, but still held over 50 people, “including many associated with aid groups, civil society and the now-closed U.S. Embassy in Sanaa.” UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said: “53 UN staff […]
Yemen: Houthis urge Arab and Islamic countries to adopt a unified Islamic stance against Israel
Last year, the Yemeni government warned of the Houthi threat to the “world’s digital infrastructure.” Then it was reported in April that Yemeni forces were planning a ground offensive against the Houthis. Even Al-Jazeera reported a month later that “anti-Houthi factions in Yemen could be vying for US support to attack the movement’s territory.” The […]
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. They have just managed to launch a drone attack on a hotel in Israel’s Red Sea resort of Eilat, wounding 48 people, two of them seriously. Now the IDF has given not as […]
At least 20 injured in Houthi drone strike on southern Israel
As Western leaders double down on Israel by recognizing Palestinian statehood while the Palestinians themselves seek a one-state solution, that is, the total destruction of Israel (according to mountains of evidence, including the Palestinian National Charter), Israel continues to fight for its existence. “At least 20 injured after drone strike on southern Israel, ambulance service […]
Yemeni boy: ‘Allah Akbar! Death to America! Death to Israel! Curses upon the Jews! Victory to Islam!’

The IAF Strike in Sanaa Meets With Media Ho-Hum
There has been far too little reporting in the mainstream media about the latest IAF strike on Houthi targets in Yemen on August 28. The Israeli pilots flew 1,800 kilometers to reach their targets. They knew exactly where those targets — virtually the entire civilian leadership, including Prime Minister Ghalib Al-Rahawi, and eight members of […]
Update on the Killing of Senior Houthi Officials
This is an update to my previous post on the killing of senior Houthi officials by the Israeli Air Force, which did not include reliable information about their names and positions. Israel is determined to stop the Houthis in Yemen from launching their intermittent, and by now largely ineffectual, volleys of drones and missiles toward […]
