Support Yemen

Today (12th January 2024), UK joined USA in military attacks against Yemen to protect financial stability of Israel.  UK government did not seek parliamentary approval for military action.  Yemen military had not taken any action against or on British territory prior to UK launching attacks.  

In recent weeks Yemen sea patrols close to its shoreline prevented suppliers to Israel from using Suez Canal.  Consequently, most supply ships changed their route to avoid the canal.  Lack of supply of goods to Israel has affected both its private and fiscal economies.  UK naval vessel HMS Diamond interfered with Yemen’s actions by destroying military drones – UK government lied about that incident and claimed the Diamond was attacked by drones and defended itself.

Government of Yemen, with support of the people of the country, took action, and continues to do so, to try to hamper the ability of the Israeli government to pursue its policy of genocide of people of Gaza.

Many countries could have taken action against Israel to stifle its supply of goods including countries with superior military capabilities to Yemen.  They chose not to.  Yemen took action to help the people of Gaza.  That action succeeded.  In response, UK and USA is spending billions of pounds and dollars on attacking Yemen while both countries continue to directly assist Israel via supply of weaponry and via intelligence gathering.

Everybody who supports the people of Gaza and who is opposed to the genocide should be fully supportive of the actions of Yemen and fully opposed to the military attacks conducted by UK and USA.  No caveats, no conditions, no murmuring about Iran.  Support Yemen.  If you are, as any person with any concept of humanity would be, on the side of the Palestinian people in Gaza then it is entirely consistent to support Yemen without any criticism of its tactics.

Support Yemen.
