And why is Yemen important?
"The route is bordered on one side by the failed state of Somalia and on the other by the unstable country of Yemen."
Ever notice "Al-CIA-Duh" always shows up where there is OIL and GLOBALIST POLITICAL GOALS at stake?!

Well, here is your front-page lead of Sunday propaganda:
WASHINGTON - As the United States steps up the hunt for Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan, some of the terrorist network’s veteran operatives are leaving the region and flocking to Yemen, where an escalating civil war is turning the nearly lawless Arab nation into an attractive alternative as a base of operations, according to US and foreign government officials.
Citing intelligence reports and intercepted communications, officials said they believe dozens of battle-hardened followers of Osama bin Laden have recently traveled to Saudi Arabia’s poor southern neighbor, joining other Al Qaeda sympathizers there who are attempting to make the remote mountainous province of Ma’rib, west of the capital of Sana, a new sanctuary.
A senior defense official said US military and intelligence officials, who have armed drones and special operations forces based in nearby Djibouti in the Horn of Africa, are devising new ways to combat the threat, but declined to provide details.
“There is, indeed, concern about the establishment of Al Qaeda elements in Yemen,’’ said the official, who is directly involved in counterterrorism operations in the Middle East.
PFFFFFFFTTTT!!!!!
Al Qaeda operatives in Yemen have been implicated in a series of recent bombings that killed tourists and damaged oil facilities, and are tightening their grip by assassinating local officials in key villages. Others have been captured in recent days trying to smuggle dozens of suicide vests from Yemen into Saudi Arabia, according to a Saudi government official who declined to be identified when discussing intelligence matters. Several of the leading Al Qaeda figures now in Yemen were released from the US prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, including Ibrahaim Al Rubaish, one of the groups’ leading religious ideologues, who is affectionately known as the “poet of Guantanamo,’’ according to militant videos broadcast on the Internet and considered authentic by US intelligence officials.
Rubaish was captured in Pakistan in late 2001 and handed over to the United States, which held him in Guantanamo until 2006, when he was released to Saudi Arabia to undergo a rehabilitation program. Rubaish and other former Guantanamo inmates later escaped Saudi Arabia and at least 10 of them recently appeared on Saudi Arabia’s list of most-wanted terrorists. Many on the list are believed to be in Yemen.
Can you TELL HOW SICK I AM of GOVERNMENT CRAP LADLED OUT by the AmeriKan MSM?
The growing Al Qaeda activity there comes as Yemen’s nascent democratic government, which held its first contested presidential election in 2006, contends with a two-front civil war against rebels in the north and a separatist movement in the south.
"Remember; this is the same government (that of "President for Life" Ali Abdullah Selah, that the US is supporting with US airstrikes against the rebels, and "advisors" being dispatched to train the Yemen military." -- Wake the Flock Up
“We have seen [Al Qaeda] who have left Pakistan, Afghanistan, even Iraq, congregating there,’’ said the Saudi official, who has been briefed on recent intelligence. “There is a central government fighting separatists in the south and others in the north and an Al Qaeda base in the central part. Yemen does not have the resources to match up.’’
As a result, a growing number of US lawmakers are raising alarms that the southern tip of the Arabian peninsula, at the center of one the most active smuggling routes from Africa to Asia, could be the next place where Al Qaeda gains a foothold to plan future attacks.
PFFFFFFFTTTTTT!!!!!!
“The circumstances in that country are very much vulnerable to penetration by terrorists to use it as a base, particularly if it becomes too difficult [for them] in Afghanistan and Pakistan,’’ Senator Ben Cardin, a Maryland Democrat and member of the Foreign Relations Committee, said in an interview. Cardin last week authored a resolution that stated that “the combination of security threats and development challenges Yemen faces is unlike any other country in the world’’ and that it is “urgent that the United States and international community use all appropriate measures to help.’’
Yeah, let's get EMBROILED in ANOTHER AGENDA-ADVANCING WAR, America!
Despite assurances from top commanders last week that the US surge in Afghanistan will not hamstring counterterrorism efforts elsewhere, Senator Russ Feingold, a Wisconsin Democrat and a member of the Intelligence Committee, said he believes the Obama administration needs a far more global strategy to prevent Al Qaeda from taking root in Yemen and other failed states such as Somalia.
Related: "Al-CIA-Duh" School in Somalia
Are we training them in Yemen, too, Russ?
That's what the "special forces" are, huh?
“We are making a very strategic error in the war against Al Qaeda,’’ Feingold said in an interview, adding that applying US military and economic resources almost entirely to Afghanistan and Pakistan is a “fundamental misunderstanding’’ of the threat.
It is VERY DISAPPOINTING to see even one of the best senators be a dupe!!
Yemen holds a special place in the history of Al Qaeda. Many Yemenis traveled to fight with bin Laden - whose father was born in Yemen - against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s, which served as an incubator for the Sunni Muslim extremists who later founded Al Qaeda.
Yup, NOTHING about the U.S. ROLE there, 'eh, BG flak?
They were welcomed home afterward, along with other mostly Arab veterans of the anti-Soviet war. The bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 American sailors in 2000, took place in Aden Harbor and there have been several subsequent attacks aimed at the US embassy in Sana.
Yeah, about the Cole.
Also see: The USS Liberty Cover-Up
Seems like a PATTERN, doesn't it?Hundreds of Yemenis went to fight for the Taliban after the US-led invasion in 2001; about half of the remaining inmates at the terrorist prison in Guantanamo Bay are Yemeni. Meanwhile, Yemen’s location next to oil-rich Saudi Arabia, where Al Qaeda has been trying to overthrow a government it sees as illegitimate protectors of Islam’s holiest sites, is also a central attraction for jihadists.
“We are talking about veteran Al Qaeda figures, an open space mostly ungoverned, and a very sensitive location - religiously and economically - that is close to [Al Qaeda’s] traditional recruitment market,’’ said Evan Kholmann, a specialist on radical Muslim groups who has testified on behalf of the US government in terrorism cases.
Don't you LOVE PAGE ONE PROPAGANDA?
Yemen, with a population of roughly 23 million, is also a notoriously unstable country, with tribal and ethnic divisions that often turn violent. New fighting erupted late last month between the government and Houthi rebels in the north who are seeking a theocratic government.
Yeah, who have NOTHING TO DO with 'Al-CIA-Duh!"
The Yemeni government contends the Shi’ite Muslim tribe is receiving covert assistance from Iran, which Tehran denies. Saudi Arabia has also joined Yemen in the fight in recent days, using military aircraft to bomb Houthi positions to stop their advance on the Saudi-Yemeni border. Since 2004, the conflict has displaced at least 150,000 people, according to UN estimates.
Notice how CASUALLY the "reporter" mentions it and then MOVES ON!!!!

Yemen conflict inflaming Saudi-Iranian rivalry

'US fighter jets attack Yemeni fighters'
Yeah, it sure has been silent in my AmeriKan newspaper.
Meanwhile, the Yemeni government is also confronting an increasingly active separatist movement in the south - all in the face of dwindling water resources, growing poverty, and quickly diminishing oil reserves.
“When you look at everything that is going on in Yemen, there is a terrible situation taking place before our eyes,’’ said Christopher Boucek, a Middle East specialist at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington who has done extensive research in Yemen.
For Yemen’s government, he said, “fighting Al Qaeda is not a first-order priority, probably not even a second-order priority. And that means more and more spaces for Al Qaeda-affiliated or aligned organizations.’’
Intelligence officials trace the resurgence of Al Qaeda activity there to earlier this year, when Al Qaeda’s main offshoot in Saudi Arabia publicly merged with the group Al Qaeda in Yemen, creating what is now being called Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
“We have witnessed the reemergence of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, with Yemen as a key battleground and potential regional base of operations from which Al Qaeda can plan attacks, train recruits, and facilitate movement of operatives,’’ Michael E. Leiter, the director of the US National Counterterrorism Center, recently told a congressional panel. “Al Qaeda leaders could use the group and the growing presence of foreign fighters in the region to supplement its transnational operations capability,’’ he said.
Peter Bergen, a specialist on Al Qaeda at the New America Foundation in Washington, says the epicenter of Al Qaeda planning is likely to remain the Afghanistan-Pakistan border area for the foreseeable future. But if unchecked, the trend in Yemen could change that. “Yemen is in the middle of a civil war, everybody has a weapon, and it’s mountainous,’’ he said. “It’s kind of like Afghanistan in the ’90s.’’
So WHEN is the FALSE-FLAG ATTACK, Pete?!!!
Or is one even needed?
"Air attack kills 35 in Yemen town; Rebels say Saudi planes responsible" by Robert F. Worth, New York Times | December 14, 2009
BEIRUT - At least 35 people were killed by air strikes early yesterday morning in northwestern Yemen, where rebels have been fighting a guerrilla war against Yemeni and Saudi forces, witnesses said.
The air strikes, in the remote town of Razah not far from the Saudi border, appeared to be the deadliest attack in months in the intermittent war in Saada province. One witness said the bombs had struck a market, killing at least 35 people who appeared to be civilians.
'US fighter jets attack Yemeni fighters' Yemen's Houthi fighters say the US fighter jets have launched 28 attacks on the northwestern province of Sa'ada. The US has used modern fighter jets and bombers in its offensive against the Yemen fighters, Houthis said in a statement. According to the statement, the US fighter jets have launched overnight attacks on the Yemeni fighters, Arabic Almenpar website reported.
"Welcome to the US's "latest and greatest" war, now coming to you from Yemen! And again (still, yet) who are we propping up, just as we did with Batista in Cuba, and the Shah in Iran? It's President Saleh and his government, by all accounts, one of the Middle East's most corrupt governments, and that's saying something. When peaceful revolution is impossible, violent revolution is inevitable. Why this consistent lesson of history is something around which the US State Department, Pentagon, and White House cannot wrap their collective heads, is a very real, and depressing, mystery." -- Wake the Flock Up
Hours later, the rebels posted an Internet statement saying 70 civilians had been killed and 100 wounded, after fighter jets struck the town more than 50 times.
Think they were trying to make a punishing point?
The town is within a few miles of the war zone where rebels have been fighting the Saudi military, the rebel statement said. The rebels, known as Huthis after the clan of their leader, said the air strikes were carried out by Saudi war planes. Saudi military officials could not be reached last night, and Yemeni officials declined to comment. The Huthis have fought an intermittent war with the Yemeni government for more than five years. The conflict intensified in August, when the Yemeni president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, declared that he meant to finish off the rebellion once and for all.
As we saw in Sri Lanka, that means genocide.
The Saudis became involved early last month, when Huthi fighters seized a strategic hilltop on the Saudi border and killed a Saudi border guard. The rebels said the Saudis had forced their hand by allowing the Yemeni military to use the hill to attack them. The Saudis, with a vastly superior military force, pushed the rebels from the border using airstrikes and mortar fire. But the Huthis continued their attacks, and succeeded in capturing a number of Saudi soldiers.
So no one really knows who is "winning" this war -- only that the Yemeni people are losing!
If the airstrikes in Razah were in fact carried out by Saudi forces, the attack could amplify anger against the Saudis among Yemeni tribes.
Translation: The MSM KNOWS it is U.S. JETS and they are COVERING IT UP!!
That could intensify the challenges the Saudis face in a volatile area that is flooded with weapons, where Yemen’s own efforts to assert control through military force have often backfired. The Saudi role has already threatened to extend a conflict with troubling sectarian overtones.
And CUI BONO?
The Huthis belong to the Zaydi sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.
Why would Iran be helping those heretics?
They have long complained that the Yemeni government, with encouragement from the Saudis, fostered hard-line Sunni militants in the Zaydi heartland of Saada province. The Yemeni government has long accused Iran of supporting the Huthis, despite the fact that Zaydism is doctrinally distinct from the Shi’ism practiced in Iran. Iran has denied aiding the rebels, but Iranian state news media have reported on the Huthis sympathetically.
And the AmeriKan MSM (NYT in particular, folks) is sympathetic and subservient to Zionist Jews!
I am so sick and TIRED of the Zionist bias OF ameriKa's *ewspapers!!
--more--"
And the "Al-CIA-Duh" propaganda, too!!!
SAN'A, Yemen --Yemeni security forces struck suspected al-Qaida hide-outs and training sites Thursday, and officials said at least 34 militants were killed, in an unusually heavy assault as Washington presses the deeply unstable country for tougher action against the terror network.
Witnesses, however, put the number killed at over 60 in the heaviest strike and said the dead were mostly civilians, including women and children. They denied the target was an al-Qaida stronghold, and one provincial official said only 10 militant suspects died.
All in YOUR NAME over LIES, America!!!!
The differing accounts raised questions over the seriousness of the government campaign.
Oh, I THINK DEAD WOMEN and CHILDREN prove they are QUITE SERIOUS!!
Good God, who writes this s***?
The United States has repeatedly called on Yemen to take stronger action against al-Qaida, whose fighters have increasingly found refuge here in the past year. Worries over the growing presence are compounded by fears that Yemen could collapse into turmoil from its multiple conflicts and increasing poverty and become another Afghanistan, giving the militants even freer rein. If that happens, al-Qaida would have a foothold bordering U.S. ally Saudi Arabia and near other oil-rich states. Already militants in Yemen have crossed into Saudi Arabia to conduct some operations, including an attempt this year to assassinate the deputy interior minister.
"Al-CIA-Duh" is SO ACTIVE, huh, readers?
Moreover, Yemen is located on a strategic maritime crossroad at the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, the access point to the Suez Canal -- and across the Gulf is Somalia, an even more tumultuous nation where the U.S. has said al-Qaida militants have been increasing their activity.
Yeah, I NOTED THAT ABOVE!!!
The REAL REASON 'bamer is BOMBING WOMEN and CHILDREN into OBLIVION!
At the same time, Yemen's government is facing an escalating war with Shiite rebels in the north and clashes with separatists in the south.
But roll 'em up and lump 'em all together and call it "Al-CIA-Duh" would you?
Yup, ANY INDIGENOUS RESISTANCE to U.S.-SUPPORTED TYRANNY and MASS-MURDER is "terrorism."
The San'a government already has little control in much of the mountainous nation, the poorest in the Arab world, where tribes hold sway. In Thursday's biggest assault, warplanes and security forces on the ground attacked what authorities said was an al-Qaida training camp in the area of Mahsad in the southern province of Abyan. Saleh el-Shamsy, a provincial security official, said at least 30 suspected militants were killed.
Elsewhere, government forces killed four would-be suicide bombers and arrested 17 militants in a raid in the Arhab district northeast of the capital, the Interior Ministry said. The bombers "planned to strike at schools as well as interests at home and abroad," the ministry said, without elaborating.
Do you like the s*** propaganda show that's trotted out for you, 'murka?
But residents of Abyan said there was no al-Qaida training camp in the area and said the heavy assault had destroyed homes in the rural, tribal area, a collection of small mud-brick houses, huts and tents. Abbas al-Assal, a local human rights activist who was at the scene, said 64 people were killed, including 23 children and 17 women.
I.... I.... I... (editor's eyes watering up.... again).
"The government wants to show the world that it is serious in pursuing al-Qaida elements and that the south of Yemen is a refuge for al-Qaida. That is not true at all," al-Assal told The Associated Press by telephone.
Yeah, we know; the refuge is Langley Va.
A resident of the area, Ali Mohammed Mansour, gave similar casualty figures, saying he helped bury the dead in a mass grave.
Ever notice ANERIKAN MASS GRAVES NEVER MEAN as much as the "enemies" -- if theirs even exist!?
Abyan's deputy governor, Mohammed Hazran, said 10 al-Qaida suspects were killed in the attack, including Mohammed Saleh al-Kazemi, a Saudi who had came to the country after fighting in Afghanistan and was imprisoned in Yemen for two years before being released in 2005.
A provincial security official said "grave mistakes occurred in the operation due to failures of information, which led to a large number of civilian deaths." The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation, said the assault was carried out without consulting with local officials.
So they are ADMITTING a MASSACRE!!!!
Mansour, the resident, dismissed claims the site was a training camp, pointing out that the community was only 100 yards off a major highway and 1.6 miles from an army base. He said al-Kazemi, the slain militant, had lived there with his family since his release and was not in hiding. "If he was wanted, why didn't the authorities come and arrest him all this time?" he said.
Yeah, GOOD QUESTION!!
That is where my print version chopped it.
Christopher Boucek, a Yemen expert at the Washington-based Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said the government's "heavy-handed" methods. "There are a lot of ... innocents who suffer."
It is the SAME EVERYWHERE!!!
Are there any GOOD GOVERNMENTS AROUND?
Venezuela?
That about it, or....?
He said Yemen is under pressure to crack down against al-Qaida not only from the United States but also from Gulf countries. "The Americans are very concerned with what is happening in Yemen, and terror experts talk about Yemen as a trouble spot second only to Afghanistan and Pakistan," Boucek said....
PFFFFFFFFFFTTT!!
Al-Qaida fighters.... are believed to have found refuge among tribes disgruntled with the central government -- particularly in the northeast of the country, a trio of provinces bordering Saudi Arabia known as the "triangle of evil."
That does it!
"Yemen asserts 34 rebels killed in raid on Qaeda; Dozens of civilians died in offensive, some witnesses say" by Sudarsan Raghavan, Washington Post | December 18, 2009
Yeah, this is my update from the the Washington Post, the CIA 's newspaper.
SANA, Yemen - Yemeni forces, backed by air strikes, killed at least 34 Al Qaeda militants and captured 17 others yesterday in a predawn assault on an alleged training camp and other areas in this Middle East nation, where Al Qaeda’s presence is of growing concern to US officials.
The operation targeted militants planning suicide bomb attacks against Yemeni and foreign sites, including schools, according to a statement on 26Sept.net, a Yemeni website linked to the government’s military.
Unreal! They are giving you the GOVERNMENT WEB SITE!
Witnesses and an opposition group put the number killed at more than 50 in the heaviest strike and said the dead were mostly civilians. The witnesses denied that the target was an Al Qaeda stronghold, questioning the government’s assertion that 34 militants had been killed, the Associated Press reported....
Then why am I reading a Washington Post piece?
President Obama called Yemen’s president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, to praise this country’s efforts to fight terrorism, saying yesterday’s raids “show Yemen’s determination to face the threat of Osama bin Laden’s global terrorist network of Al Qaeda,’’ according to Yemen’s Saba state news agency.
Sigh!
The NEW MASS-MURDERING WAR CRIMINAL keeps telling that f***ing lie!!!!!
Obama, the agency reported, gave assurances that the United States would support Yemen in the realms of security, politics, and development. It was unclear what role the United States played in yesterday’s operations.
Actually, not really!
US air raids kill 63 civilians in Yemen Yemen's Houthi fighters say scores of civilians, including many children, have been killed in US air-raids in the southeast of the war-stricken Arab country.
Obama Ordered U.S. Military Strike on Yemen Terrorists The Yemen attacks by the U.S. military represent a major escalation of the Obama administration's campaign against al Qaeda.
Yeah, that's the old YULETIDE spirit, 'bamer!
Yeah, I had to get those from a blog.
American drones and operatives have targeted Al Qaeda sites in Yemen, Somalia, and the Horn of Africa in the past. When asked by reporters if the United States was involved in any operations in Yemen, State Department spokesman Robert Wood declined to speak specifically about yesterday’s operation, saying “we cooperate with the government of Yemen and other governments around the world in fighting Al Qaeda and others, you know, practicing terrorism.’’
So when you going to bomb Israel?
Bin Laden has close ties to Yemen: He married a Yemeni woman, and his father was born here....
And George W. Bush's grandfather worked with Hitler as well as with the bin Laden family. WTF is this agenda-pushing WaPo s***, readers?
Militants have carried out a string of attacks on US missionaries, foreign tourists and Yemeni security forces. Last year, a bomb and rocket attack on the US Embassy killed 16, including six assailants.
Yeah, that was MOSSAD!!!

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Saudi Arabia said yesterday that 73 Saudis have been killed and 26 have gone missing since the kingdom launched an offensive against Yemeni Shi’ite rebels along the border last month.
Sort of SERVES THEM RIGHT for LAUNCHING an OFFENSIVE for USrael, no?
Related: Houthis repel Saudi incursion into northern Yemen
I guess it all depends on your agenda-pushing point-of-view, huh?
The announcement was the first indication that the US ally had suffered such heavy losses in the remote area, where it is difficult to independently confirm details of the fighting.
Oh, so Yemen-Saudi might be LOSING despite the MASS-MURDER from the SKY, huh?
The rebels, known as Hawthis, have alleged dozens of civilian deaths in Saudi air assaults.
Now I have seen THREE DIFFERENT SPELLINGS for that group. WTF?
Prince Khaled bin Sultan, the Saudi assistant defense minister, also said during a border tour that Yemeni rebels who seized the border village of al-Jabiri have 48 hours to vacate it or surrender. Saudi forces have tried to retake al-Jabiri, a tiny outpost surrounded by Yemeni territory on three sides.
Gotta love the ULTIMATUM, huh? Those always go over so well with people!
The prince said in remarks carried by the official Saudi Press Agency that the conflict “was almost finished,’’ but did not elaborate on that claim.
Well, see this turd here? How can I sell it to you?
He referred to the dead as “martyrs,’’ a term used to describe slain troops.
Yeah, if you aren't some government mass-murderer you are a "terrorist."
Saudi Arabia launched an air and ground offensive against the Yemeni rebels on Nov. 5, after skirmishes along the border.
Yup, and the MSM coverage has been SPOTTY at BEST here even as the agenda is being advanced.
Both Saudi Arabia and Yemen have accused Shi’ite Iran of backing the rebels, a charge Tehran has denied.
You know what? Even if true, USrael and their Saudi slaves that constitute the true axis of evil in the region raise enough hell, so f*** off, Zionist war propagandists!!!!

Of course, in the END it is ALL ABOUT JEWS in my Zionist War Daily!
"For Jews, Yemen no longer a place to call home" by Sudarsan Raghavan, Washington Post | December 20, 2009
Kind of RESTING MY CASE with the WaPo, folks!!!!!
SANA, Yemen - The last remaining Jews in Yemen are vanishing, driven out by politics, war, and hatred.
So HOW DOES the ZIONIST SHOE feel on YOUR FOOT, *ew!!!!?!!!!
Once numbering 60,000, one of the oldest Jewish populations in the Arab world now has fewer than 350 members.
I really NO LONGER give a f*** about *ews and THEIR PROBLEMS, 'kay?!!!
In recent months, persecution by Islamist extremists has intensified, accelerating Jews’ flight from Yemen.
Maybe they are on to something.
Many are heading to the United States.
What, not to that blighted stain of NaZionism, because I DON'T WANT THEM HERE!
With the help of the US government and US-based Jewish organizations, 57 Yemeni Jews have been resettled in New York since July.
Yup, YOUR TAX DOLLARS at WORK while YOUR ECONOMY IMPLODES, America!!!!
At least 38 are expected to arrive soon and many more are eligible, American officials said. Others are seeking refuge in Israel and Europe.
I stand corrected!
In the capital, Sana, 65 Jews who fled their northern villages are living in a government compound under heavy security. Recently, police arrested two men suspected of planning to assassinate the community’s rabbi, according to Yemeni news reports. The exodus of Yemen’s Jews - who survived the rise of Islam in the Arabian Peninsula and for centuries coexisted, if tenuously, with Muslims - is a sign of this nation’s social fragmentation.
PFFFT!!
Maybe if that stinking s*** hole Israel wasn't such a war criminal belligerent the Jews wouldn't have a problem.
But it's more than that. Given all the propaganda, false flags and such, I'm not buying a word of this slop.
CUI BONO?
Have you noticed HOW OFTEN the ZIONIST AmeriKan MSM promotes the idea of the POOR, PERSECUTED JEW? I have and I AM TIRED (yawn) OF IT!
Yemen’s weak central government is struggling with a civil war in the north, a secessionist movement in the south, and a growing Al Qaeda presence. Large swaths of the nation, the Middle East’s poorest, are controlled by tribes, which resent any interference from the government.
Rabbi Yahya Yehuda, like so many in his shrinking congregation, is faced with a dilemma as he waits for a visa to the United States or Israel....
Yeah, the rabbi's dilemma!
PFFFFT!
How about the Houthis dilemma!?
How about the FAMILIES of the SLAIN and THEIR DILEMMA, huh, MSM?
Ah, what's the use!?
The first Jews who came to Yemen were merchants, sent by King Solomon, it is believed, to prospect for silver and gold.
I see where the "STEREOTYPE" started!!!
They survived persecution for nearly a millennium under the rule of Zaydi imams.
Then WHY would they have a PROBLEM with SHIITES, huh?
And THERE IT IS AGAIN, isn't it?
The POOR, PERSECUTED JEW!!!
What an INSULT to PALESTINIANS -- and ALL MUSLIMS!!!!
With the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, Arabs rioted in the port city of Aden, killing scores of Jews and destroying their homes and shops.
Well, the JEWS must have TAKEN NOTES considering what they have DONE in PALESTINE with their ZETTLERS!!!!
Over the next two years, about 50,000 Jews were airlifted to Israel in what was dubbed Operation Magic Carpet.
I think I'm going to be sick. Too bad no one shot that magic carpet down.
More trickled out of Yemen until 1962, when the Zaydi imamate was overthrown in a coup and civil war broke out. After the first Persian Gulf War, with the help of the United States, about 1,200 Jews departed, mostly for Israel.
So why are they spying on us, America?
The few hundred who stayed behind.... lived quietly under the radar of zealots, practicing Orthodox Jewish traditions. They attended synagogue, studied the Torah in religious schools, and spoke Hebrew. In 2004, a Shi’ite rebellion broke out in Saada. The rebels, known as Hawthis, were an offshoot of the Zaydis. That December, they targeted al-Salem. They threw rocks at Jewish homes and damaged cars.
Well, NOW you KNOW how PALESTINIANS FEEL, JEW!!!
For the next three years, Jews faced harassment. They never traveled alone. Many stopped going to work, leaving their homes only for food and emergencies....
Oh, that is PRICELESS!!
Of course, JEWS should be ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES for the way they have treated Palestinians ALL THESE YEARS!!!
