Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

An IDF airstrike killed PM Ahmed al-Rahawi of the Houthi government in Yemen's capital Sanaa. He was the most senior Houthi official killed in the Israeli-US campaign against the Shia Arab fighters. Ahmed al-Rahawi was targeted along with other members of his government who were wounded in the assassination attack. PM al-Rahawi wasn't part of the High Command that runs the military and strategic affairs of the Houthi resistance fighters; he was tasked with running the day-to-day civilian affairs in Sanaa and other Houthi-held areas. "Yemen endures a lot for the victory of the Palestinian people," al-Rahawi had said following an IDF strike last week that struck an oil facility and a power plant. Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad Bin-Salman (AKA MBS or Muhammad "Bone Saws") fiercely opposes the Shia Houthi Yemenis as they are seen as heretics by the Salafist Saudis and Sunni Yemenis.

A Quinnipiac University survey found 60% of voters disapprove of the US sending military aid to Israel, while only 32% approve. Half of the voters surveyed, including 77% of Democrats, said they believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. 64% of Republicans said they do not believe Israel is committing genocide. Link: Most Americans Not Islamophobes. Israel declared Gaza's largest city, already in an IDF-created famine, a combat zone as the Palestinian death toll surpassed 63,000. France, the UK, Canada, Australia, and Malta have pledged to recognize the State of Palestine during UNGA which starts 23 Sep, infuriating the homicidal Netanyahu who is still on trial for corruption in a Tel Aviv court. New Zealand, Finland, and Portugal are considering a similar compassionate move to finally recognize Palestine. An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC for war crimes remains active for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

The Houthi terrorists are at war with the legitimate government of Yemen.
