The Houthi – A Terrorist Group?

Yemen (the Houthi), one of the poorest countries in the world, is the only Arab state taking action against the Israeli for its inhumanity against Gaza. The Houthis are enforcing a blockade in response to Israeli violation of international law. Their action is directed at the most recent Israeli blockade of all humanitarian life-sustaining necessities and restarting the bombing of Gaza.

For this, the Israeli-partnered, America-first Trump administration has bombed Yemen, killing innocent civilians while labeling their targets as Houthi-controlled buildings. The language used by the US eerily resembles the Israeli explanation for its civilian slaughter in Gaza as Hamas-controlled hospitals and Hamas-controlled buildings.

Yemen, the same country Obama launched a war in 2015 at the behest of Saudi Arabia, is back in the news. (see post #012, 013) Obama’s US blockade on Yemen caused the world’s worst outbreak of cholera and starvation. We’re back this time at the behest of Israel and infused with a new Israeli-friendly game plan.

All Roads Lead To Iran

Was a more reasonable strategy considered? Maybe to have forced Israel to allow food, water, medical supplies, and electricity into Gaza and demand Israel enter into phase two of the cease-fire would have preempted the Houthi blockade. Although more prudent and humanitarian, this road does not lead to Tehran. The diabolical act against Yeman by Israeli-friendly Trump is the beginning of a beautiful paved road to Iran. The rhetoric against Iran is getting louder. I’m beginning to hear familiar echoes, “weapons of mass destruction.”  

Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthi, and Iran

The common denominator is Israel. Hezbollah is a Lebanese military force against the Israeli occupation of Southern Lebanon. Hamas is a Gazan Organization (military and political) against the Israeli occupation of Gaza. The Houthi and Iran are the most vocal and ardent opponents of Israeli occupations and actions. What may appear to be a terrorist organization may just be victims of the George W. Bush 2001 definition. “Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.”

Who is responsible for our Middle East policy?

In a March 15, 2025 poll conducted by Gerald Celente on X, asked “Who is the most powerful person in the U.S.?” The overwhelming response – Netanyahu at 64.9%. The US Middle East policy contradicts Trump’s “America First” and validates Mr. Celente’s poll. It’s “Israel First.”
