Red Sea 'Rebels' vs. US 'Peacekeepers'
📰 THE STORY: Mainstream outlets report that 'Yemen rebels' are threatening Red Sea attacks as a US aircraft carrier 'nears Iran,' implying unprovoked aggression from Yemen and a necessary, defensive posture from the US to protect global shipping and its ally, Israel. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: What they call 'Yemen rebels' are the Houthi-led Ansar Allah movement, which
has been fighting a brutal, US-backed Saudi-led coalition war since 2014. The UN estimates this war has killed over 377,000 people by the end of 2021, and caused one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. The Red Sea actions are directly linked to Ansar Allah’s stated support for Palestine and their opposition to the Israeli genocide in Gaza, targeting ships with ties to Israel rather than
indiscriminately. Double Standard: When Yemen, facing an ongoing humanitarian catastrophe enabled by Western arms, attempts to leverage its strategic position to pressure Israel, it's branded 'rebellion' and 'threat to global trade.' Yet, when the US maintains a constant, overwhelming military presence in the Middle East, including aircraft carrier strike groups near Iran – a nation the US has an
