‘Houthis are simply insane’: In Tel Aviv, Yemeni activist Luai Ahmed, explains current conflict
Rebels are 'willing to sacrifice Yemen for the Palestinians'

Ahmed fled Yemen for Sweden after rebels rose to power, becoming an activist against Islamic fundamentalism;

An October 2024 clip, in which he debated American college students on the war in Gaza while dressed in traditional Yemeni garb, garnered two million views on Twitter.

Ahmed fled Yemen in 2014 shortly after the Iran-backed Houthi rebels – an extremist ethno-religious group from northern Yemen, affiliated with Shiite Islam – hijacked the pro-democracy Arab Spring revolution that had erupted in the country in 2011 toppled the government, and took over the capital, Sanaa.

They have recently stepped up the bombardment, launching five early-morning attacks on central Israel in eight days.

On Thursday, the IDF launched a series of airstrikes in Yemen, targeting infrastructure used by the Houthis, including Sanaa International Airport, after several previous attacks on the country.

Houthis indifference to the plight of their own people:
Indifferent to the plight of civilians under their control, the rebels have for months been firing missiles and drones at Israel, claiming it as a campaign in support of Gaza during the ongoing war there against the Hamas terror group.

There are millions of Yemen children who are malnourished and living below the poverty line.

People have no money, no food, no water, no gas.

Instead of focusing on allocating resources to the most vulnerable, the Houthis hand them out to Hashemites, the descendants of the Prophet Muhammad, and the rest is spent on throwing rockets at Israel, to kill Jews.

How is that going to help Yemen? But to them, it’s a religious war.
