Houthis slogan

Houthi or Ansar Allah is a Radical islamic terrorist organization and movement emerged from Sa'dah in northern Yemen in the 1990s. The Shiite jihadists[1] are linked to Iran.[2]

Founded by Hussein al-Houthi, It's highly anti-American[3] and openly racist, Anti-Semitic. Even genocidal.[4] Increasingly anti-Christians.[5]

The slogan of the Houthi movement (officially called Ansar Allah), a political and religious movement and rebel group in Yemen, reads "Allah is Greater, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse (sic) upon the Jews, Victory to Islam" in Arabic text.[1] The movement occupy Sanaa capital of Yemen and overthrow the real government in late 2014, then began war against Saudi-Arabia.

The Washington Post on Yemeni capital: [2] "Perhaps in no other city is anti-Americanism in such full display today.

Especially recently, they have become more anti-Christian as well, as Houthis threaten Christians with the same fate as priest detained for 4 Years.[5]

They were even seen in Nazi salute.[6]

ADL explains:[4]

The Houthis’ oft-invoked slogan is itself antisemitic. While their Iranian patron encourages chants of “Death to America, Death to Israel,” the Houthis’ own motto goes one step further, proclaiming “Death to America, Death to Israel, Damn the Jews.”  Advocates for the Houthis have argued that this radical language is just for show, that the Houthis “do not really want death to anyone,” and this slogan is “simply against the interference of those governments.”

Yemen’s Houthis officially refer to themselves as Ansar Allah, meaning the Partisans of God. Hailing from the Zaydi minority Shiite sect, the organization emerged in the early 2000s out of a religious revivalist movement in northern Yemen called the Believing Youth.  At that time, a charismatic figure from one of the movement’s leading families named Hussein al-Houthi returned from study in Iran and Sudan and began to amass a following with his fiery sermons.

After 911, in the Middle East, it was Hezbollah who invented the conspiracy on Jews. [7] Three months later, Hussein al-Houthi portrayed that attack as a Jewish conspiracy and suggested Osama bin Laden was probably hiding out in an American hotel. Worse, in that lengthy December 2001 sermon for the Iranian-inspired occasion of International Quds Day, Hussein al-Houthi went so far as to make a case to his followers for genocide against the Jews.[4]

The group received training and military equipment from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). It has waged a series of bloody insurgencies against the Yemeni government since 2004, overthrowing them and seizing power in Sanaa in 2015. In 2016, the group announced the formation of a government.[1]

Particularly post Oct 7 2023, it promotes Antisemitism between attacks on Israel. Including praise for Hitler.[8]

On December 18, 2023 the Biden White House announced Operation Prosperity Guardian to counter Houthi attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea. It has been reported that "Iranian spy ship helps Houthis direct attacks on Red Sea vessels."[10]

Iran's global strategy

Es explained: [11]

the way the [Gaza] conflict was framed both by the Gaza groups and by Iran’s broader regional network, from Hezbollah in Lebanon to the Houthis in Yemen, makes it clear that they all view their regional battles as mere fronts in an integrated transnational jihad directed against Israel by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Biden

Under pressure from ultra liberals, claiming their only concern is the poor in Yemen, Joe Biden decided to end support of war against Houthis. He even removed this terrorist group from the terrorism list.[14] He also decide to hire diplomat to the government which shouts "Death to America!" and curses Jews everyday.[15]

In 2022, a bipartisan House group argued that ‘removing the designation… has done little’ to improve the humanitarian situation in Yemen.'[16]

Reported in Feb/2022:[17]

In an address delivered at a student rally in Hajjah, Yemen, a Yemeni student said that the Houthis will strike New York and Tel Aviv with their drones. He also said that the Houthis’ missiles will continue to strike deep in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The rally was broadcasted [sic] on Al-Masirah TV (Houthis-Yemen) on January 24, 2022.

Student: “Placing their trust in Allah, our missile forces are continuing to strike deep inside Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Allah willing, our UAVs will reach Tel Aviv and New York in the very near future.”

2023/4: attacking west and Israel

This Iranian proxies terror thugs group have been attacking Western targets in the Gulf of Aden since "Palestinian" Arab Oct 7 War attack.

See: Operation Prosperity Guardian.

There were alliances defending ships mainly by the US and the UK.


On July 19, 2024, the Houthis, after months of repeated attempts had one if its UAVs hitting Tel Aviv in Israel, killing one and injuring four others.

On July 20, 2024, Israel responded with 'Operation Long Arm' / 'Operation Outstretched Arm':

IDF strikes Yemen's Al Hudaydah [Hodeidah]. Casualties reported following Israeli strike in Yemen. It was also in response to ongoing Houthi attacks on Israel and the Red Sea for months.

"Over 220 projectiles have been launched [by the Houthis] against Israeli civilians and infrastructure, the latest one killing a civilian and injuring many more.” The official emphasized that “the Houthis attacks are acts of aggression, a flagrant violation of international law and a threat to international security and the Middle east stability. I remind you, the Houthis declared a maritime siege on Israel and parts of the Middle east and Europe, and have attacked dozens of times different navy vessels from different countries of all around the world in various terror aggressions, killing people, sinking ships, taking ships, and disrupting the whole economic system in the Middle East and in Europe."

Explained: They 'have been targeting the country since soon after Hamas’s October 7 invasion and slaughter. And Israel had elected not to strike back, even after a missile scored a direct hit on Eilat in March. But in the early hours of Friday morning, an apparently upgraded Houthi drone evaded Israel’s defenses — for reasons thus far ascribed by the IDF to “human error” — and exploded in Tel Aviv, striking an apartment bloc and killing a 50-year-old Israeli, Yevgeny Ferder. The Houthis declared that this marked a “new phase” in their operations against Israel.'

"The attack is 200 km further from Israel than Tehran." High alert in the Air Force all over the country for fear of a reaction. The Americans were informed in advance of the attack, the IDF clarified: "It is in Israeli action only."

The military purposes behind the port in Hodeidah, including serving as an entry point for Iranian-supplied weapons.

Drill in Greece and fire that will burn in Yemen for days: The farthest attack from Israeli territory ever carried out by the military, and its insistence on undertaking the operation without US aid as it carried out specialized drills in Greece. The IDF didn’t comment on additional targets hit during the operation in the maritime port area of the city of Al Hudaydah in western Yemen, but according to several sources some 10 targets were attacked in the area.

3 dead, 87 wounded in the strikes on Hodeidah, Al-Masirah TV says. Israeli officials plan strong counterattack in case of attempted retribution.[22]

Fuel depot, other facilities at Hodeida Port targeted in Israel’s first strike in Yemen, one of its farthest-ever actions, in response to months of attacks on country amid Gaza war. By Emanuel Fabian. 20 July, 2024, 10:04 pm The Israeli Air Force struck the Houthi-controlled port of Hodeida in western Yemen on Saturday, the military and local media said, a day after a drone launched by the Iran-backed group struck Tel Aviv, killing an Israeli man. In a statement, the Israeli military said: “Fighter jets struck military targets of the Houthi terror regime in the area of the Hodeida Port in Yemen, in response to the hundreds of attacks carried out against the State of Israel in recent months.” It marked the first time the Israel Defense Forces has conducted strikes in Yemen. The attack was named by the military “Operation Long Arm.” The IAF strike on the port was aimed at preventing the Houthis from importing Iranian weapons, as well as causing the Iran-backed rebels financial damage. According to the Israeli military, the port in the Houthi-controlled city has been used repeatedly to bring in weapons from Iran, and therefore Israel saw it as a legitimate military target. The airstrike targeted fuel depots, energy-related sites, and other facilities at the port. Images and video showed massive flames and smoke rising from the port.

Photo by ANSARULLAH MEDIA CENTRE / AFP). Israel acted alone in the strike with no American military involvement. An Israeli military official said the United States had been updated ahead of the attack. At least a dozen IAF aircraft, including F-35 stealth fighter jets, F-15 fighters, reconnaissance aircraft and refueling planes were involved in the attack — the latter of which was due to the target being some 1,700 kilometers (1,000 miles) from Israel...

David Horovitz. 20 July, 2024. Security chiefs were hoping a hostage deal might deescalate war, including in the north. After Friday’s attack, and Israel’s inevitable response, they’re bracing for wider conflict. Yemen’s Houthi rebels, another of Iran’s terror proxies avowedly seeking to destroy Israel, have been targeting the country since soon after Hamas’s October 7 invasion and slaughter. And Israel had elected not to strike back, even after a missile scored a direct hit on Eilat in March. But in the early hours of Friday morning, an apparently upgraded Houthi drone evaded Israel’s defenses — for reasons thus far ascribed by the IDF to “human error” — and exploded in Tel Aviv, striking an apartment bloc and killing a 50-year-old Israeli, Yevgeny Ferder. The Houthis declared that this marked a “new phase” in their operations against Israel. TOI Israeli Jets Bomb Sites in Yemen Linked to Iran-Backed Houthis. The strike was retaliation for a drone attack launched from Yemen a day earlier, which evaded Israel’s defenses and hit a building in Tel Aviv, killing one person. By Aaron Boxerman, Ronen Bergman and Eric Schmitt Aaron Boxerman reported from Jerusalem, Eric Schmitt from Washington and Ronen Bergman from Tel Aviv. July 20, 2024 Updated 2:49 p.m. ET Israeli fighter jets bombed sites in Yemen linked to the Iran-backed Houthi militia on Saturday in retaliation for a deadly drone attack in Tel Aviv a day earlier. It was the first time Israel has publicly struck the group following months of escalating Houthi attacks. The airstrikes targeted gas and oil depots and a power station that Israel said were used for military purposes in the area of the Red Sea port of Hodeidah. The port is controlled by the Houthis and contains oil export facilities. Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, the Israeli military spokesman, said the operation was “one of the farthest and longest ever conducted by the Israeli air force.” He called the port a major supply route for Iranian weapons to Yemen. But the Hodeidah port is also a vital conduit for humanitarian aid to impoverished Yemen, and Admiral Hagari said Israel had struck some “dual-use” targets that could be for civilian or military purposes. The Israeli strike was a response to about 200 missiles and drones launched by the Houthis at Israel over the past several months, according to Admiral Hagari. Nasruddin Amer, a Houthi spokesman, wrote on social media after the Israeli bombardment that his group would continue to attack Israel as part of a military campaign the group says is an expression of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
