congrats israel, you now made Yemeni people even more hardliner!
Palestine
A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.
Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.
Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.
We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.
This is unfortunate but it is also not a significant event. It will change nothing. The west thinks thinks every nation is like them. Yemenis are not lead down the path by their president the way liberal nations drag their citizens by the nose ring.
The west thinks that the next people in line will backstab each other to get the top job thus weakening the government as a whole. There will be no scramble for power. "President of Yemen" isn't a position you can reach by fighting Yemenis, you reach that position by fighting the great satan's imperialism. The self interested politicians of the west cannot conceive that people would do things for the good of the people instead of doing everything to benefit themselves.
I hadn't wanted to believe this until I heard it from a non*Western source. This is disturbing. Is this ~~who~~ why POTUS was hiding all weekend?
