Craig Mokhiber, a human rights lawyer, joins the show to discuss the US’s airstrikes on Yemen. Trump’s bombardment follows Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement’s resumption of its blockade of Israel-bound ships in the Red Sea – a solidarity action for Gaza after Israel choked off all aid.
Mokhiber explains how according to international law, all nations are expected to cut ties with the Israeli occupation and act to prevent genocide– yet the US is bombing Yemen for doing precisely that.
“Yemen is following intl. law by blocking Israeli ships, says former UN official @CraigMokhiber, but they get called “terrorists” for it. “The US lies to its people and spends billions bombing Yemen, all to assist Israel’s genocide”
