Big claims with no evidence to back it up. Funny how you are always in any thread mentioning AA to tell us how they are actually the bad guys, and not the west

Big claims with no evidence to back it up. Funny how you are always in any thread mentioning AA to tell us how they are actually the bad guys, and not the west which is conducting a genocide.
- tptacek 2y agoYou have to have not read anything whatsoever about Ansar Allah (or Yemen) to believe these are big claims. If you want stuff nicely packaged for western audiences, start with Human Rights Watch.
- tptacek 2y agoI really do want to encourage you to dig into what Ansar Allah is about, their history, and their implications for Yemen. Clearly, they're situated in the middle of multiple conflicts between other odious governments (including the deeply corrupt previous government of Yemen). But even given that, the Houthis manage to stand out. It's a whole interesting phenomenon that gets into the history of Zaydi Islam and caste system politics. If you find any credible, detailed, reported source that concludes they are in any way praiseworthy, I'd be sincerely appreciative if you pointed me towards it.
