No. No, I just got something in my eye. I’m fine.
Israel will nuke the world if it starts losing.
The only way to fight zionists is in the shadows.
Organizing doesn’t work because they have their kike-spies everywhere.
Interesting how you correctly referred to zionists specifically in the first sentence and then fell back on an unnecessary slur in the second. I disagree with the whole premise either way but, damn dude. Maybe just keep those thoughts inside the ol’ noggin there
Ew
Yemen has done the right thing.
You know now that the coast is clear, I will admit that this article is a month old, it was a sleepy mistake. I thought I had snagged a PressTV source for a <24hr old Middle East Spectator (very unreliable Telegram/Twitter) post quoting a Yemeni official saying that Yemen would be a “sword” in Colombia’s hands.
I don’t know if I might be jumping the gun here, but the language portends deeper collaboration between Yemen and Latam, which could certainly use anti-ship missiles. Maybe Yemeni fighters could actually come to the region? They probably have too much going on already!
Gran Colombia is getting weird additions
Oh so is this why America is gearing up for war against Columbia?
Colombia*
Maybe they were quoting Trump
Hahaha, don’t be silly.
They want to steal Columbia’s resources of course.
They’ve stolen the Panama canal before.
Yemen is unironically peak human rights.
Uh…
Yemen is one of the seven countries to apply a death penalty for consensual sexual acts between adults of the same sex.
It’s good they’re banding together to protect muslims against the threat of Israel (their words) but they’re still a religious authoritarian nightmare.
They are Muslims that practice Sharia law. What do you expect from them exactly? To accept something they believe it’s a sin? 😁 Allah is first to them. Most you can expect from them is that they won’t care about homosexuality outside of their country. Which they don’t give a fuck. Also, what you said sounds more like Saudi Arabia and other gulf monarchies. They are fucked up salafi scum, unlike Yemenis and Palestinians.
Are you seriously saying we can’t expect them to do better… because they’re muslim? That is some pretty backhanded islamophobia.
I can tell from your reply that you don’t understand Islam and Yemeni and/or Palestinian culture. And calling me an islamophobe is such a liberal thing to say, haha. I expect people to respect other cultures even if they don’t agree with them. I don’t see the point of making Muslims accept homosexuality when it’s a sin to them and that’s what Allah himself said in Quran. I see that you really don’t understand that Quran is a fucking law to Muslims. The best they can and will do is ignore the haram of the West and be very strict about it in their own countries. Our mutual goal is defeating the imperialism, but there will always, ALWAYS be a wall between us and that’s their religion and our secularism.
that you don’t understand Islam and Yemeni and/or Palestinian culture
I lived in palestine for years and regularly attend my local mosque, and although I am not myself muslim, nobody has yet seemed to reject what I have to say on the basis of not being suitably informed on the subject. But hey, maybe your standards are different.
I don’t see the point of making Muslims accept homosexuality
“Don’t kill queer people” is not the same thing as “accept queer people”. If “It’s okay for them to kill people because their laws say it is” were valid, then there would be no issue with Israel’s genocide or US imperialism. All the major, objectionable acts taken by both governments have been legal, yet they are both reprehensible to the point of justifying military intervention.
Yemen can do bad things, and we can hold them to account for those bad things. Just because they follow their interpretations of the lessons of the recitation does not excuse that those things are reprehensible.
See how absurd that a country that has real human right abuses is doing more against a genocide than other countries that claim to care about human right abuses while bscking Israel.
When the west is going act like a real model and isolate Israel ?
Let me check my evil meter to find out if homophobia is worse than literal genocide against brown Untermenschen to create an ethnostate
They’re both evil - evil people can do good things, but doing those good things doesn’t negate the evil things. Take the US: it’s done undeniably evil things, but at the same time it’s (by several measures) the #1 contributor of humanitarian aid to the world. So does this mean we be praising the US since by that metric it’s undeniably the global paragon of humanitarian charity? Or should we maybe be glad that the US is doing something not awful, while not accepting it as justification to dismiss the evil it also does?
-
Those people are suffering because of the US. If not for the US they wouldn’t even need aid.
-
This is soft power. The US demands things in return for that “aid”. It’s not aid whatsoever.

Germany lies within the EU so if you add 2 and 3 your argument falls apart.

I’m sorry, I’m really not sure what this means. What does germany have to do with this?
The top donor thing you talked about…
Do you mean that if we added the values given for two distinct entities together, they would be larger than that of a single entity? That’s… sure, I’m not going to say that addition doesn’t exist. But if you used that when compiling the above statistics, you wouldn’t be comparing donations from distinct groups, and the meaning of the above statistic would be fundamentally changed.
It would be the contributions of all member states to the EC and then germany’s contributions added together, vs a single country (the US).
Which has nothing to do with Yemen’s human rights record, or the point I was making with that statistic, and is an intellectually valueless enterprise within that context.

Nuance really is dead, huh?
You sure are nuancing away all the gay people in Gaza massacred by the West.
Literally what the fuck are you talking about? Jesus Christ way to prove the point.
The mass murder of gay people in Gaza by the West. Statistics estimate 5-10% of people are gay so that would be at least 3000-6000 gay people mass murdered by the West in Gaza. Assuming a low estimate of 3000:
Is 13 gay people killed is worse than 3000?
Of course not but you’re fine with the 3000, because the 3000 were gay people executed and blown up by the West, and not by brown people. And when white Ubermenschen with superior technological airplanes and snipers mass murder gay brown people it doesn’t count for you because they are brown Untermenschen and should know their place.
And not just gay people. Women, children, men, the West is just killing everyone. 60.000 at the very least already.
And who is defending those 3000 gay people killed by the West? That’s right, Yemen.
The existence of queer people in the general population isn’t in question, though. How that statistic is relevant to Yemen’s human right’s record is what we’re confused about.
Supporting and applauding Yemen’s blocade against Israel doesn’t mean one also supports every single one of their other actions, priorities need to be decided in times like these, same way it’s stupid to condemn Hamas when it’s literally resisting genocide.
Yemen is peak anti-colonialism. Which unfortunately comes with religious conservatism as a reaction against colonial forces. Fanon discusses this at length in the context of Algeria.
The “official” Yemenite government is the saudi puppet one. This guy is from the based houthi ones.
Is the Houthi government better on gay rights?
