Yemen's Houthi rebels claim responsibility for cruise missile strike in Israel - New York Post

[GLASNOST]

uhm---who would be involved in this "friend making" ----the whole area has
been in conflict for at least 14 centuries---SERIOUS CONFLICT

The whole region was willing to make friends with anyone who did not threaten them. I've been there.

Who are the Houthis, and why are we at war with them? | Brookings

For over two and a half years, the United States has supported Saudi Arabia in a war against the Houthi movement in Yemen. The war has created the worst humanitarian catastrophe in the world and threatens to turn into the largest famine in decades. Yet very few Americans know who the Houthis are.

for information on HOUTHIS---talk to your local Yemeni muslim---often owning or working in small kiosks----starter businesses in cities. Of course
you could talk to a Saudi muslim for even more exciting information. Beware
of an uncontrollable tendency to SPIT on hearing or enunciating the word
"houthi" From the sunni UMMAH POV---the only thing good about HOUTHIS is their intense desire to kill jews

I traveled along the bombed-out roads and bridges through Kampuchea (from the Thai border to Phnom Penh) during the last year of the Khmer Rouge madness plus I'm a Vietnam Veteran, and I spent a few nights in Beirut in 1977. I'm not religious but when my time is up my time is up. But don't worry ..... I'm 77 now and the chances of me doing any strenuous travel is very unlikely.

You're brave. Yemen is savage... Kidnapping for ransom and all that.

In that case, I'll remove it from my bucket list.

ie--very islamic. Yemen is so much a standard islamic society--that
converts are advised to spend some time there to experience the
"muslim way of life" Even Bin Laden preferred it to the "westernized
filth of Saudi Arabia." His most current wife was shipped to him from
Yemen----all the way to Afghanistan ??or ? Pakistan

I've been everywhere in the Middle East, North Africa, the length of the African continent, etc. In fact, I've been "everywhere" in the world except for South America. I've had a few close calls but I survived to tell about it. I've been shot at, had stones thrown at me, under rocket attack, under mortar fire, had a tree fall on me, and even been threatened at gunpoint on two separate occasions in the US just because they thought it was fun to scare the shit out of someone.

His parents were glad to get out too---and his cousins and
aunts and uncles----leaving was a very dangerous endeavor
and required extensive BAKSHEEESH

stay away from trees which look "sick" or in storms--especially high winds

Baksheesh is always welcomed in the Arab-Moslem world. It's "cadeau" to speed up or turn a blind eye.

Reuters, NYT are reporting the same thing.

Israel plans to build 3,300 new settlement homes in occupied West Bank in response to a fatal shooting

The move, announced late Thursday, drew an angry reaction from the U.S. as relations between the allies are already frayed over the course of Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza.
