    I think a more important question is whether Yemen still exists as as single coherent political entity with the same borders as seen on ANY of those maps, which given the present situation, it clearly does not.

    edit: map here <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;understandingwar.org&#x2F;research&#x2F;middle-east&#x2F;iran-update-september-25-2026&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;understandingwar.org&#x2F;research&#x2F;middle-east&#x2F;iran-updat...

          Given what the US and Israel did to them it&#x27;s not surprising.

            Ignoring the curse upon Jews and and victory to Islam, how convenient.

            Israel didn&#x27;t lift a finger to hurt them before they attacked Israel but nice try to confuse cause and effect.

              Swapping “Jews” for “Israel” like that seems a certain way.

              Do you think Yemenis deserve to choose who their government is?

                I didn&#x27;t swap those, their saying includes both Jews and Israel. What is a certain way, I&#x27;m confused.

                  I&#x27;m against killing people until they do bad.

                  Besides, let&#x27;s not pretend like Israel isn&#x27;t a resevoir of hate against arabs and muslims—they are defacto a jewish supremacist state. By any measure that Ansarallah is worth attacking, surely Israel deserves this many times over for acting on their violent bigotry for decades before any of us were born.

                    This doesn&#x27;t answer my clarification request from mrexcess.

              Israel is genociding Gaza and still killing people and stealing more lands in the West Bank. Under international law, we are required to do whatever necessary to stop a genocide. Unfortunately only Yemen that step up to actually do that. The US and other western countries keep supporting the genocide.

              &gt; Ignoring the curse upon Jews and and victory to Islam, how convenient.

              Israel is the one who proclaim they represent jews all the time. Until 90% or more jews condemn Israel like how 90% muslim condemn ISIS, it&#x27;s a statistically accurate statement.
