Bro do you know what the Houthis have been doing for years in Yemen? You do know that there is one of the worst wars in the world going on there, in Yemen?

This is not a heroic group in any way. They are doing the whole "fighting against Israel" thing for their image and because their followers demand it.

for their image and because their followers demand it.

This comment is not intended to place a moral judgement on the Houthis one way or another, but isn't this the primary justification most organizations do most things? I doesn't really seem like a bad reason....

I guess you're right.

I was just pointing out that their reason is not because they are a "heroic group". Ansar Allah is a violent suppressive group.

The UN report on the group says that "Children as young as 13 have been arrested for "indecent acts" for alleged homosexual orientation or "political cases" when their families do not comply with Houthi ideology or regulations. Minors share cells with adult prisoners, and according to unspecified reports that the Panel has deemed "credible", boys held in Al-Shahid Al-Ahmar police station in Sana'a are systematically raped." Source pdf Aside from the Panel of Experts, London-based Arabic newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat alleges that Ansar Allah have revived slavery in Yemen. Source

Uncritically propegating Saudi propaganda (Saudis which actually revived the slave market by the way) to blame the people being genocided.

I hope you are simply misinformed.

I am quoting an UN report. I have no idea whether that UN report is well informed or maybe was influenced by propaganda.

The UN report calling the Saudi backed insurgency the "Yemeni government" gives away a lot.

Someone made a good video on it recently. https://youtu.be/W2I9IaMUsa0

Fighting the American backed Saudi genocide.
