The long-suffering Houthis are game. I knew a Dutchman who rolled his own cigs and went fishing every year in Yemen last century. He never mentioned a problem. And no one in the West heard of a "Houthi" before 2016. But because they are Shia Muslims, like the Iranians, the Sunni Saudis consider them apostates and did not want them ruling Yemen after the civil war. Since no one-- except the UN and Iran-- helped the Houthis during the MBS-caused famine, they have become loyal allies to Tehran. That's why they counter-attack against Israeli interests on behalf of Iran, Lebanon, and the poor Palestinians.
