The US Just Massacred Civilians In Yemen Without Even Claiming They’re Military Targets: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix

The US massacred civilians in Yemen with repeated strikes on a Hodeidah fuel port on Wednesday night, killing some 17 workers in the first bombing and five medical workers in the second “double tap” attack.

They’re not even trying to disguise this as a strike on a military target; CENTCOM’s sole justification was that “The objective of these strikes was to degrade the economic source of power of the Houthis,” saying that “Despite the Foreign Terrorist Designation that went into effect on 05 April, ships have continued to supply fuel via the port of Ras Isa.”

They’re not even claiming the port was a “Houthi stronghold” or some shit; their sole claim is that Washington decreed Ansar Allah are terrorists, so they have a right to massacre civilians while destroying critical civilian infrastructure.

Israel’s actions in Gaza are shredding norms all over the place.

It’s probably worth noting here that Trump officials have said they’d stop bombing Yemen if Ansar Allah said they’d stop attacking US ships, but Ansar Allah made exactly that offer recently and the bombing has continued. The offer was likely ignored because Yemen would still be attacking Israeli ships, and this is really about protecting Israel’s ability to commit genocide in Gaza.

I saw Cenk Uygur saying that Trump “deserves a ton of credit” because of a New York Times report that, for the time being, he has decided to opt for diplomacy with Iran rather than war.

No, Trump does not deserve “credit” for deciding to hold off on starting a war with Iran. That’s like saying I deserve a trophy for not firebombing a preschool today.

There’s a lot going on right now, but the Gaza holocaust is still the worst and most significant thing happening in the world today.

The challenge at this point is not so much getting information out about the Gaza holocaust, but getting people to really SEE it. Moving it out of the periphery of their awareness as one more bad thing happening in our world and getting them to viscerally grasp what’s happening.

That’s why you’ll see pro-Palestine accounts saying things like “Read that again” and “Let that sink in” when pointing to the horrific things Israel is doing. Everyone pretty much knows there’s something terrible happening in Gaza by now, but it’s kind of a back burner issue for most people, simmering in the background while their attention is steered toward issues that are less inconvenient to our rulers, like the feuding between mainstream political parties. They’re trying to get them to really stop and experience the reality of this nightmare.

The task therefore is to keep finding new ways to get people to see this thing with fresh eyes. Not as one more terrible thing happening in the world that they don’t like to think about, but for the extremely urgent crisis that it is. Turning each raw fact about this thing from one more data point in a sea of indecipherable white noise into something real in people’s experience.

You don’t need to be an investigative journalist or expert analyst to do this. The information is all right there in the public. All you have to do is keep finding new and creative ways to get people to really see it and feel it.

Israel’s assaults on the West Bank are a different order of collective punishment from Gaza, because nobody in the West Bank even had anything to do with October 7. There’s not even any pretense that it’s because of something they did; it’s just “They’re Palestinians. Destroy them.”

Same movie, different soundtrack. That’s Gaza under Trump.

The Biden administration backed a genocide while occasionally making noises about humanitarian concerns, and now the Trump administration backs a genocide without making those noises.

All that’s changed is the noise.

    What do you expect from a country which has fallen into the hands of the Jews?

    100% mainstream (and a lot of alt-media) are Jew owned, Jewish controlled and most outright zionists.
    Biden and Trump administrations: the worst and most infiltrated by zionists, neocons (aka Jews) and warmongers.

    The actual US foreign policy is decided in Tel Aviv.

    Trump received a huge bribe of 100 million from the ultra-zionist Adelson to help “israel” to ethnically cleanse the West Bank and of course to continue the genocide in Gaza.

    Trump who has married his daughter to a zionist scumbag is suspected to be a member of Chabad.

    Despite all the bribes and influence the Jews have over Trump, only a serious psychopath would do what Trump does against civilians in Yemen, Palestine and Lebanon.

    There is more to just money, they probably have damning Epstein files on Trump to blackmail him into committing la these crimes.

    The evilness of the US is now obvious for the world to see and Trump will be the one made responsible for all of it while Biden did the same for 15 months.

    The message is simple, the Jews want us to know that they are in charge, they control the US, the West and the stupid and malevolent military personnel, politicians and media perpetrating and helping the genocides are also under their control.

    They think the can do whatever they want to whoever they want and that we can do nothing about it.

    But we will not let them.
    They can’t do and take whatever they want.
    Subhuman trashes like Trump, Biden and all those complicit of these genocides will remain as the excrement they are in the sewer of history.

    The zombies who follow their orders deserve nothing but scorn, death and dishonor. They are as guilty as those who give orders.

    The scumbags bombing Yemenis from their ship will have to pay for their crimes as much as those who work for the military industrial complex and other corporations providing the genocide perpetrators.

    The world will not forget or forgive.

    Reparations will have to be paid, justice will be served.

    The world is fed-up with the evil US empire, it’s not only Trump it’s this totalitarian hellhole and the dollar and its economy are collapsing ans this is good news.

    Gold is at its highest ever and going much higher as the world dumps the hated ‘reserve’ that nobody can trust anymore.

    The UN starts to talk about sanctions, why didn’t they start before?

    UN: Sanctions are most effective way to force Israel to bring aid to Gaza
    The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to food, Michael Fakhri, said on Friday that sanctions are an effective way to “force Israel to bring aid to Gaza Strip.”

    Yemen announces strikes on ‘Israel’, US aircraft carriers

    The spokesperson of the Yemeni Armed Forces confirmed a dual operation targeting the USS Harry S. Truman and USS Carl Vinson and their respective fleets.

    The Yemeni Armed Forces announced a series of high-profile military operations on Thursday, including the launch of a Zulfiqar ballistic missile targeting the vicinity of the Israeli Ben Gurion Airport and coordinated strikes on two US aircraft carriers in the Arabian Sea.

    According to military spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the operations mark a continuation of Yemen’s military response to the ongoing US aggression against the country.
    “For the second month in a row, we continue to confront the US aggression on our country,” Saree said in a televised statement.

    Strikes on USS Harry S. Truman, USS Carl Vinson

    The spokesperson confirmed a dual operation targeting the USS Harry S. Truman and USS Carl Vinson along with their respective fleets. This marks the first time that the USS Carl Vinson has been targeted since its deployment to the region.
    “The American aircraft carriers that recently arrived in the region failed to achieve what the previous four aircraft carriers did,” the statement said.

    MQ-9 drone shot down

    Yemen’s air defenses also reported the downing of a US MQ-9 Reaper drone in the airspace over the capital, Sanaa. The incident adds to a growing list of confrontations between Yemeni forces and US military assets.

    Steadfast support for Gaza

    Brigadier-General Saree emphasized that Yemen’s operations were directly tied to continued support for the Palestinian people amid Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza.
    “Yemen will not back down from continuing its operations in support of the Palestinian people until the cessation of the Israeli war on Gaza,” he stated.
    The spokesperson warned that ongoing US military mobilization and airstrikes would only lead to increased Yemeni military operations.
    “The enemy will only sow defeat in its aggression on our country,” he said, adding that Yemen remains resolute at both the leadership and popular levels.

    THE REALITY IS THAT the Red Sea traffic for Israel is over, Its Eilat port is a phantom port. The Yemenis have succeeded in their blockade and the zionist lackeys can bomb as many civilians they want, the israelis have lost their port.

    Trump is backtracking on his menaces against Iran, not because his Jewish pimps have sudden remorse but because the ruined USA can’t afford a war with Iran. A war they will lose in any case.

    The bullshit ‘ceasefire’ in Ukraine is not happening and as usual, TV show-business clown Trump gets bored and will also abandon this ‘project’, making the US situation even more difficult.

    Many Palestinians, Yemenis and Lebanese might die, many people might be deported, censored, jailed for exposing US, zionist and Western crimes, but eventually the beast is dying and because it is dying, it has lost all control of itself.

    We will be there to help the beast die and enjoy its fall.
