Futile and dangerous: bombing Yemen in the name of shipping : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 18/1/2024

As US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was promoting a message of calm restraint and firm control in limiting the toxic fallout of Israel's horrific campaign in Gaza, a decision was made to strike targets in Yemen

Agree with mox 100%
The US are complicit in facilitating the genocide of innocent Palestinians in Gaza.
They're also guilty of invasion and annexation of land in Syria from which they steal millions of barrels of oil, and also conduct piracy themselves, through the use of terrorist designations and civil forfeiture. The US talk about human rights, but I'm pretty sure Guantanamo Bay is still accepting new residents.

Saudi Arabia and the US fought the Houthis for 8 years and did not destroy them.
Now after the US and UK bombed them they are at war with the US and UK and collective West.
Its the citizens of the West who will suffer increased shipping and military expenses because the US would rather help Israel murder civilians than do anything to stop it.

So now we all have to pay for it, so Israel can keep murdering women and kids.
America and the collective West not going to invade Yemen.
They'd be lucky if half of their troops were even able to land on shore.
And if America couldn't defeat the Taliban, then they're certainly not going to defeat the Houthi, who have an army...
and ballistic missiles...
The West are too weak to succeed in such a venture, and certainly couldn't attack and invade Iran.
They would be annihilated.

153 Nations voted in the UNGA for a ceasefire, the US and Israel voted against it, and also the UNGA is non-binding.
Nothing was achieved the killing of women and kids continued.

The fact that Israel has been labeled an apartheid state, gives South Africa cause to weigh in on the matter. 'Aparteid' is a word from the days of Colonialism and the Dutch East India Company describing the system of racial segregation South Africa.

South Africa, with their complaint of 'genocide' and 'incitement to genocide' - are representative of those 153 nations that voted for a ceasefire, but could not make the killings of innocents stop.

The Houthis, with their targeting of Israeli bound shipping are attempting to strangle the Israeli state economically.
Which is no different whatsoever to what the collective West has been trying to do to Russia.

South Africa and the Houthis, are kind of like Martin Luther King and Malcolm X.

South Africa are trying to raise attention to the situation the legal way, the accepted way, but to little or no effect, where the Houthis, are saying we're not accepting this killing of innocents, and we're prepared to do something about it.

The collective West, for all their talk of 'human rights' are big on talk, but short on action, they won't even support South Africa.

Meanwhile, The US, and the UK have launched this attack on the Houthis, there was no UNSC resolution, they just went and did it.
The US is in no position to talk about what's right and what's wrong.
- When it is helping facilitate the genocide by providing the arms deliveries, and using its UNSC vetoes to prevent any ceasefire.

You want to know why a 2 State Solution is not possible?
Because for decades, any time the matter is raised
- The US and Israel vote against it.

UK orders Iran. Iran doesn't care. Pathetic display of inflated ego and false confidence.

David Cameron, isn't is a bit too late to be making demands of the Houthi?
They are now at war with you, after you decided to bomb them.

These Western leaders, are idiots.
