ABC News Reports Houthi Funeral, Skips US Backing for Saudi War
ABC News reports on a funeral for a Houthi chief of staff, killed in an alleged Israeli strike. What they conveniently omit? The systematic, decade-long destruction of Yemen by the Saudi-led coalition, heavily armed and supported by the US. Remember when Biden paused arm sales to Saudi Arabia in 2021 before approving them again a year later? ( State.gov ). This isn't just about a 'Houthi' problem;
it's about a US-enabled humanitarian catastrophe ( UN Reports ) that created the current chaos. So, a commander dies in an Israeli strike, and we're supposed to be surprised by regional destabilization? After years of blockades, starvation, and bombs dropped with US hardware, financed by US tax dollars, one might wonder who truly benefits from painting Yemen as just a 'rebel' problem. Or perhaps
ABC just enjoys a good funeral story.
