They Call It Unconstitutional, But Don’t Impeach

January 18, 2024 Sam Husseini, Scheer Post. Educate! Democracy, Impeachment, Joe Biden, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism, Yemen

In early December, I published “They Call It ‘Genocide’ — But Don’t Invoke the Genocide Convention” about countries which called Israel’s slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza a “genocide” but were not invoking the Genocide Convention at the International Court of Justice. But by the end of the month, South Africa answered the call, stating that it had a duty to prevent genocide and therefore issued an 84-page application before the ICJ. And, just as the oral arguments for the case were being heard late last week, we had a case of “interesting timing” with Biden ordering the bombing of Yemen because Ansar Allah there was attacking ships associated with Israel until Israel stopped its slaughter in Gaza.

The Solution To Violence In Yemen And The Red Sea Is A Cease-Fire In Gaza

As Washington continues to help arm and finance the Israeli government’s genocidal assault on Gaza, White House rhetoric has increasingly centered on preventing the war from expanding across the region. But the Biden administration’s actions in Yemen and the Red Sea are having exactly the opposite effect. Beginning shortly after the Israeli assault on Gaza started in early October, Houthi militants from Yemen launched a series of attacks on commercial ships, some of them connected to the Israeli economy, in the shipping lanes in and around the Red Sea.

US To Re-designate Yemen’s Ansarallah A ‘Terrorist Group’

January 17, 2024 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Genocide, Israel, US Sanctions, Wars and Militarism, Yemen

Washington is gearing up to label Yemen’s Ansarallah resistance movement a “specifically designated global terrorist group,” sources in the know told the Associated Press (AP) on 16 January. The decision, expected to be announced in the coming days, is in response to the continued maritime campaign launched by Yemen’s Ansarallah-led government in Sanaa against Israeli shipping in the Red Sea. The designation falls in line with Executive Order 13224, issued during the presidency of George W. Bush. It allows the US government to “designate and block the assets of foreign individuals and entities that commit, or pose a significant risk of committing, acts of terrorism,” as well as the assets of those who “provide support, services, or assistance to, or otherwise associate with, terrorists.”

International Coalition Applauds South Africa; Denounces Countries Supporting Israel’s Crimes

Last week, member groups of the International Coalition to Stop Genocide in Palestine (ICSGP) organized activities around the world, including press conferences at The Hague and outside various South African consulates and embassies, to highlight and support the South African legal team as they presented their evidence of the state of Israel’s acts of genocide against Palestinians to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on January 11. The ICGSP continues to expand with nearly 2,000 signatory organizations from 100 countries on the initial letter calling for mobilization in defense of South Africa’s strong case for genocide.

‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ Day 102: Israel Pulls Forces From Gaza

January 16, 2024 Mustafa Abu Sneineh, Mondoweiss. Educate! Gaza, Genocide, Hamas, Iran, ISIS, Israel, Palestine, Wars and Militarism, Yemen

The Israeli army withdrew the 36th Division from the occupied Gaza Strip on Monday afternoon, leaving behind the 162nd Division in northern Gaza, the 99th Division in central Gaza, and the 98th Division in the southern region of Khan Younis. Hundreds of Israeli soldiers and military vehicles were seen leaving the Gaza Strip. The Israeli military said the 36th Division would be given a short break and go through a training period, confirming that the war on Gaza would carry on. However, the pullout of the division came as Yoav Gallant, the Minister of Defense, said that the “intensive stage” of the war in north Gaza has reached its end.

Chicago Protesters Condemn Bombing Of Yemen, Genocide In Palestine

January 15, 2024 Fight Back News!. Resist! Chicago, Genocide, Israel, Palestine, Yemen

Chicago, IL – Over 750 protesters braved the coldest weekend of this winter so far on Saturday, January 13 to demand that the U.S. and its allies take their hands off Yemen and end their support of Israel’s genocide in Palestine. The protesters spoke in favor of Yemen's naval blockade against Israel as well as in support of South Africa charging the apartheid state with genocide at the International Court of Justice. This was the latest in a string of weekly protests organized by the Coalition for Justice in Palestine since October 7, 2023. In addition to the usual chants of “Free Palestine” and “No more money for Israel's crimes” protesters chanted “Yemen, Yemen stand your ground. Turn another ship around.”

Bombing Yemen As British As Afternoon Tea

January 14, 2024 Mark Curtis, Consortium News. Educate! Radfan Revolt, United Kingdom (UK), Wars and Militarism, Yemen

U.K. air strikes on the Houthis in Yemen – who have dared to challenge Western support for Israel over Gaza – are taking place exactly 60 years after a brutal British bombing campaign in the country. The so-called Radfan revolt of early 1964 in modern-day Yemen has long passed out of historical memory. We should remember it though, as evidence of how British foreign policy is practised in reality – and how we only truly find out about that reality once government files are released decades later. The Radfan is a mountainous area about 50 miles north of Aden, Yemen’s major southern port. In the early 1960s, it was part of a British colonial creation – the Federation of South Arabia, a grouping of sheikhdoms and sultanates established by London.

Yemen: An Indomitable People – Part Two

January 14, 2024 Sergio Rodríguez Gelfenstein, Orinoco Tribune. Resist! Ansarallah, Axis of Resistance, Palestine, Red Sea, US Imperialism, Yemen

The transnational mainstream media have planted the narrative that Ansarallah act under the influence of the Iranian government. While neither Iran nor Ansarallah have denied being part of an axis of resistance against imperialism, colonialism and Zionism, an axis that also incorporates political forces from Lebanon, Syria, Bahrain, and Palestine itself, simplifying the equation to a relationship of “subordination” is both superficial and banal, given the Yemeni people’s own history of struggle. In West Asia, the growing aggressiveness of “Israel” and the interventionist presence of the United States have been polarizing the political situation.

Empire Bombs Yemen To Protect Israel’s Genocide

January 13, 2024 Caitlin Johnstone, Consortium News. Educate! Genocide, Israel, Middle East, Palestine, UK Imperialism, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism, Yemen

The U.S and U.K. have reportedly struck over a dozen sites in Yemen using Tomahawk missiles and fighter jets, backed by logistical support from Australia, Canada, Bahrain and the Netherlands. U.S. President Joe Biden, in a statement, asserts that the strikes against “targets in Yemen used by Houthi rebels” are a “direct response to unprecedented Houthi attacks against international maritime vessels in the Red Sea.” What Biden does not mention in his statement about his administration’s “response” to Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea is that those Red Sea attacks are themselves a response to Israeli crimes against humanity in Gaza.

‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ Day 98: Israel Claims ‘Self Defense’ At ICJ

Friday marked the second day of hearings at the International Court of Justice in The Hague in the genocide case against Israel. After the South African team laid out its arguments on Thursday as to why Israel’s relentless campaign of violence in the Gaza Strip since October 7 constitutes a deliberate and genocidal attack on Palestinians as a whole, Israel took to the stand on Friday to defend its record, hoping to convince the court’s 15 judges to drop the case altogether. The Israeli defense, as laid out in opening remarks by Israeli foreign ministry legal adviser Tal Becker, did not bring many surprises for those who have been following the Israeli government’s statements since October 7.

US, UK Attack On Yemen ‘Will Not Go Unpunished’

January 12, 2024 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Israel, Palestine, Wars and Militarism, Yemen

The Yemeni Armed Forces released a statement on 12 January condemning the US-British attack on the country and announcing the deaths of several of its troops. “The US-British enemy, as part of its support for the continued Israeli crime in Gaza, launched a brutal aggression against the Republic of Yemen with seventy-three raids, targeting the capital, Sanaa, and the governorates of Hodeidah, Taiz, Hajjah, and Saada. The raids led to the death of five martyrs and the injury of six others from our armed forces.” The attack will “not go unpunished or unanswered,” the Armed Forces added.

Stop The War On Yemen!

January 12, 2024 Workers' World. Resist! Biden administration, NATO, Wars and Militarism, Yemen

Workers World condemns the U.S. and British imperialist governments for their unjustifiable attacks on Yemen Jan. 11. This latest aggression is a direct expansion of the genocidal war they have been collaborating with in Gaza. It coincides with the charges of that genocide against Israel in the International Court of Justice, brought by South Africa. This attack on Yemen exposes the lies from the Biden administration about taking every step to avoid expanding the war in the region. Once again after the invasions of Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan, Washington and its NATO allies, first and foremost its top junior partner in London, have attacked another country in the West Asia region.

Could Israel’s War In Gaza Spiral Into A Regional War?

January 12, 2024 Maximillian Alvarez, The Real News Network. Resistance Report Gaza, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Middle East, Palestine, Syria, Wars and Militarism, Yemen

Over three months into Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza, there is little hope the carnage will stop anytime soon—and with each passing day, the danger of Israel’s war on Gaza spiraling into a larger regional conflict increases. The devastation in Gaza is unlike anything seen in the 21st century, but Israel’s military strikes—like last week’s assassination of Saleh al-Arouri, a top leader of Hamas, in Lebanon—have not been limited to Palestine alone. At the same time, armed resistance groups in Iraq and Syria have launched hundreds of attacks on US bases, confrontation between Israel and Hezbollah has created a simmering northern front along the Lebanese border, and Yemen’s blockade of the Red Sea has created an international crisis for shipping and trade.

Omani customs authorities seized a shipment of drones hidden in a truck from the UAE heading for Yemen on 10 January. “The Directorate General of Customs seized a truck at the Hafeet crossing loaded with wireless drones coming by transit system from the United Arab Emirates heading to the Republic of Yemen,” said the customs authorities. “Customs inspectors were able to discover the shipments hidden professionally in places specially prepared for smuggling them in the truck. The concerned authorities began investigating the case in order to complete the rest of the legal procedures against the suspects,” the authorities added.

Yemen: An Indomitable People (Part 1)

January 9, 2024 Sergio Rodríguez Gelfenstein, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Ansarallah, Gaza, Hezbollah, History, Iran, Israel, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Yemen

In 2015, Yemen, a country unknown to many in the West, started a war in defense of its sovereignty that was being threatened by an interventionist alliance led by Saudi Arabia. The Yemeni people had to pay with the lives of almost 400,000 of their children to maintain their independence. Many people have wondered how a country considered the poorest in Western Asia has been able to resist and defeat a coalition made up of some of the richest countries on the planet. Although the conflict has continued for almost a decade, it appears to have reached a situation that could lead to its possible cessation.
