Today, the US carried out another attack against Yemen Yemen is taking a stand — it will not allow its waters to be used to sustain Israel’s genocide in Gaza! This is what infuriates Biden US empire is barreling towards a regional war, but the people demand a ceasefire now!

In accordance with international law, Yemen took action to stop a genocide by blockading ships to Israel.

In violation of international law, Israel imposed a naval blockade on Gaza for 17 years.

In retaliation for their moral courage, the US and UK are bombing Yemen
