It’s been an interesting, though not altogether unexpected, experience to watch the racism boiling out over Ansarallah’s blocking of the Red Sea to zionazi, Brutish, and Amerikastani traffic. From the Bidet regime and its slave Sunak, to the right wingnut zionazi worshippers who are thirsting for Palestinian blood, all of them seemed to imagine a […]
Ils Ne Passeront Pas
by Russell Bentley via Sputnik Globe The Houthis might at first appear to be vastly outmatched by the US/UK armada that has struck Yemen, but militarily and economically, the US and Europe are actually much more vulnerable than the Houthis. To put it simply, in both economic and military terms, the US, UK and […]

Worldwide Solidarity with Palestine

The Ansar Allah movement (Houthis) have survived a nine year war and naval blockade by Saudi colonists, backed and directed by the US and suffered an estimated 77,000 deaths, and have militant solidarity with Palestinians suffering US backed Israeli genocide.
Chinese state-owned shipping company COSCO, the fourth largest in the world, has halted sailing to Israeli ports, Israeli media outlet Globes reported on 7 January, in the wake of attacks and attempted seizures of vessels heading to Israel via the Red Sea by Yemeni armed forces.
In a similar development, the Hong Kong-based OOCL halted all cargo deliveries to Israel last month, citing “operational problems.”
On 12th Jan the US and UK bombing began with over 70 attacks and more today. Yemen officials have vowed to continue and expand their blockade to all ships in the waterway. Several million outraged citizens demonstrated across Yemen.
Yemeni forces have been attacking Israeli-bound vessels in the Red Sea in response to Israel’s war on Gaza, which the Sanaa government views as genocide.
Washington and its allies in turn formed the Prosperity Guardian naval coalition and issued an ultimatum to Yemen’s Ansarallah-led government to stop their Red Sea operations or suffer the “consequences”, however only the UK is actively taking part.
Yemen’s actions forced numerous leading shipping companies to instead travel around the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa to reach Europe, extending the shipping times by two weeks and increasing costs, but the US still vetoes UN Security Council ordering a ceasefire.
On 31 December, US naval forces sank three Yemeni boats in the Red Sea, killing ten Yemeni naval soldiers, now proclaimed as national hetoes. The Houthi attacks have so far not killed anyone.
From the onset of the Gaza conflict on 7 October, Yemeni military forces have targeted a minimum of 15 merchant vessels either bound for Israeli harbors or owned by entities associated with Israel.
