Looks like the pro-Palestinian movement has embraced the Houthi terrorists with open arms.

(75 posts)No protests when Saudi Arabia was bombing Yemen to the stone age and starving the people. Now Houthi Rebels are heros...people don't seem to care that Houthi rulers are making it hard for women to go outside..

(4,274 posts)and it seems like years sometimes, some info about this Houthi deal in Yemen and some history about another mess left to fester. I could just scream when a careless, know nothing media goes around the world and talks about these happenings in various countries and with various groups. They never take the time to ever quickly describe why these people are fighting in their own country and basically what it is about. So all we hear from them is "rebel" group this or "terrorist" group that. If they took the time to educate their listeners we would come away with a better understanding of what is happening there and why and why things may not be as simple to solve as it may seem. But our media needs to save those precious seconds or minutes so they can tell us all about being sure not to miss the next episode of "The Bachelor" where he takes off his shirt and where one of the contestants gets hurt feelings and cries.

(24 posts)These people are fucking idiots. That is all, really, you can say about them. The Houthis are restoring slavery in Yemen. Previously, it was illegal.
