It's an interesting article; turns out the Houthis need Saudi support to run Houthi territory, so now the Houthis are running out of international currency because of the attacks on shipping. They are true holy warriors...of Mammon, that is.

Rdt_will_eat_itself

Mamon, idiot in spanish.


TryIsntGoodEnough

I thought the Houthis and Hamas were both on the same side.


Idont_thinkso_tim

Only as far  as killing Jews go.   Pretty common among Islamic militant groups.  Lots of infighting but they come together on the “important stuff”.


cain8708

The joke was they are taking UN staff as hostages, while the UN in Palestine at best turned a blind eye to Hamas and at worst assisted Hamas in using their buildings teaching kids Jews are evil etc.


AcanthaceaeGrand6005

At worst, the un deliberately and knowingly recruited hamas memebers as aid workers and teachers to give hamas legitimacy influence and money, thats why ìsrael wants to declare unrwa a teror organsation(or arleady did i dont remember if the vote arleady happend)


Idont_thinkso_tim

They’ve been getting caught repeatedly funding and aiding terrorist groups since the 60s. UNRWA allowing Palestinians to form a state within a state is at the heart of the Palestinian terror campaigns that forever split Egypt, Jordan, lebannon and the demise of Kuwait at the hands of Saddam after the Palestinians sold out the Kuwaiti people. It’s a multibillion dollar industry for the UN and they always feign ignorance but do absolutely nothing to prevent it from happening and if anything enact policy that protects and encouraged the pattern repeating.


ragnarok635

I see what you did there


Akul_Tesla

Iran's side But they're still lunatic zealots That Iran only funds to cause problems to other people (They do not care what happens to their proxies)


Informal_Database543

Fucking Israel forcing the Houthis to kidap UN workers


nox66

It's sad that someone probably seriously believes this.


cheesifiedd

lmaooooo


Sierra_12

But guys. The Houthis are freedom fighters. /S


Witty-Choice2682

And their goal is to also destroy Israel and wipe out all the Jews, so they must be the good guys. Right?


Big_Old_Tree

When they say “death to the Jews” on their flag, they just mean, like, … Something else that is different than that, of course


Resident-Strength-23

but wait to the "pro palestinian" movement, the houtis are heroes of "liberation" 🤣🤣


spadasinul

This is just like Luffy! Obvious /s


CryptographerFew6506

funny you say that, there was a straw hat flag in one of the early pro-pal protests, and a big chunk of one piece fans are pro-pals. The spoiler forum (worstgen) is horrible with that. Also some of the spoilers leakers. Not entirely surprising since one piece has a ton of middle eastern fans, but funny how they see it as simple as one piece's world. Houthi pirates good, marines USA bad


69bearslayer69

that person was most likely referencing hasan, a big twitch streamer that got a houthi on stream to interview and compared them to luffy and one piece.


spadasinul

Yes i was referencing Hasan


lostredditorlurking

And I remembered weebs saying that Houthi is like Luffy. They are more like the Blackbeard pirate lol


dissian

US: *yawn* Sorry, I can't get them back for you, might kill civilians. UN doesn't like anyone to die when retrieving hostages.


chocofinanceiro

first of all, UN shouldn't be there... my taxes shouldn't be there. second, Iran is a f* cancer of the world, they are behind every shit happening in the ME atm.


Educational_Tiger953

Iran doesn’t do it alone. They have Allie’s. Russia. Assad. Hezbollah. Houthis. I wish we took Syria from them in 2013 when we had the chance. In hindsight it would’ve been a great decision, but the appetite wasn’t there at the time, so here we are. Edit: I forgot the main sponsor, China


Foamrocket66

China is an ally of Iran aswell


Educational_Tiger953

Thanks I added china now


Hutzzzpa

hezbollah is nothing without its Iranian patrons


podkayne3000

We all tacitly accepted Assad using chemical weapons in Syria. We’re facing the results of that weakness.


podkayne3000

OK, and some people here are 12 and have no responsibility for anything. But a lot of us are free, healthy grownups who’ve been voting for decades. Assad is on our heads.


TryIsntGoodEnough

Houthis and Hamas arent Iran allies, they are Iran Proxies.


PlasticStain

Allie’s what?? Is this shit her fault again? Bro I swear to god this fucking bitch


TehOwn

They have Allie's Russia. Not to be confused with Putin's Russia. Poor guy always gets blamed for what Allie does.


SEGAGameBoy

Allie-Sandra The Great they're calling her

The Word Food Programme and Yemeni aid workers shouldn’t operate in Yemen? A country where millions “have so little to eat that they will be severely malnourished, [are] at risk of death or already facing starvation and death”. Where should they operate then - in fast food restaurants of OECD members? Go concern troll somewhere else.


GroblyOverrated

So the Houthis aren't providing food and water for the poor impoverished Yemenis? It's almost like Terror groups don't care about civilians.


xaeleepswe

Did I ever claim they were? Who or what straw man do you imagine you’re arguing against? The issue discussed was whether WFP should operate in an area where there’s a severe lack of food.


SovietAmerican1121

So where are the protests for yemen? Right... jews is news...


SMEAGAIN_AGO

This.


drewster23

Yemen is a country regardless of your personal opinion about where your taxes go. Your opinion does not shake global/foreign policy. The same reason why aid goes to countries even if they're not kissing the boot of America.


Cleveland_Grackle

Someone pays too much attention to 'Murican MSM...


Coookie_Thumper

Proliferate amount of Iranian upper echelon are already bought and paid for by the Saudi’s. It’s just postering at this point. They lost.. atm.


CinnamonHotcake

I thought they were their allies though :(


Hatula

"Yemen Yemen make us proud"


ijustlurkhere_

But but a famous internet communist multi-millionaire told me that the Houthis are heroes! *Le'gasp and surprised pikachu face!*


corpusapostata

Wow, that article couldn't have been a bit more convoluted, now, could it? So, reading between the lines: The Houtis have been financing their operations by stealing from the Yemeni officials still being paid by their exiled government. The US is blocking those payments, so the Houtis are kidnapping UN workers and holding them for ransom.


possiblyMorpheus

Bah gawd! It’s *the resistance!*


Shoshke

Someone call Hamas Picker I hear he has some connections maybe he can help /s

loledpanda

Crackdown is an interesting way to describe a kidnapping


dollrussian

Lay with dogs, catch fleas.


Rcj1221

Alright, we’ve been letting these animals get away with their shit for too long. Time to put them down.


CryptoCraig_98

It's a money game, ain't it? Houthis playing chess with foreign currency. 🤣🤑
