Dozens of Dead in Yemen, and Blame Pointing in Both Directions

Simply another day in the Arab/Muslim world, where one side is killing the other.......

Good old NYT and their "both sides" journalism. Saudi Arabia has been deliberately bombing civilian infrastructure like hospitals, schools, bridges, residential areas and markets for about three years, with the direct and explicit support of the US, and the best the NYT can offer is "gosh, it's hard to know what's really going on." What's going on is the US is supporting/enabling yet another invasion, resulting in substantial civilian casualties and an extreme humanitarian crisis. So to be fair, not exactly a new thing and a tepid response is consistent with the NYT general indifference to US-caused human suffering.

Follow the weapons, and that will tell you who is doing what for what reasons.

Both sides...where exactly does the United States and Israel come down in this war that they are both involved in?

It is now 400 years since the beginning of the gruesome Thirty Years' War that ravaged central Europe in the name of religion but was part of an ongoing power struggle for supremacy on the continent. How good it would be if we could, at last, overcome this form of conflict. I so much hope that this time it will take less than thirty years to end the pointless suffering.

Stop this "both sides are to blame." The Saudis, backed by Trump, are bombing civilians.

The US continues to sell high tech weapons to the Saudi's for their criminal war in Yemen. Worse US private contractors who fight alongside our military in Iraq and Afghanistan, like Blackwater are being contracted by the Saudi's and are on the ground in Yemen. Many of these private contractors are ex military with no loyalty to the US chain of command. This is the result of the continued privatization of our military. This privatization of our greatest institutions is going on in not just education, prisons, tax collection and roads it's our military. When you privatize the military, have a kleptocracy and no respect for international law. The blood is not just on the Saudi's hands, it's on ours.

We are complicit in the carnage. We should have nothing to do with the evil Saudis. We are selling them weapons, refueling their planes. They are evil barbarians. Perpetual war for per perpetual profit.

No mention of the fact that the US-supported Saudi-led coalition is openly collaborating with Al Qaeda in their assault on the Houthi rebels.

Saudi Arabia’s war with Yemen where they use siege warfare condemned by the UN and are blockading the country with the help of US airpower and weapons. This is resulting in the worlds worst humanitarian where millions of civilians may die from famine and disease. To bad not much news provided on this awful war, considering the huge continuous human rights atrocities. The Saudis have hired al Qaeda in Yemen to fight the Houthi. Considering that 15 of the 9/11 hijackers and bin Laden were al Qaeda, they financed al Qaeda in Iraq, Syria and elsewhere, why are we allies? https://apnews.com/f38788a561d74ca78c77cb43612d50da/Yemen:-US-allies-don't-defeat-al-Qaida-but-pay-it-to-go-away The Saudis are the largest financier of terrorists in the world to which we provide weapons , air support and other aid. Yet Trump is ready to go the war with Iran.

We need to take responsibility for the fact that American weapons, whose sale we benefit from (some produced in part by Raytheon in Massachusetts), sold to Saudi Arabia are escalating this violence.

Another CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY. Sadly, this one was started by the Obama Administration and has continued full throttle under #45. My heart breaks when I talk to the many Yemeni store owners in NYC. No different from you or me. The Saudi Arabian government is savage and they with their Wahabism are true terrorists in the Middle East.

Guess what American people we are behind the chaos in Yemen because who is refueling the bomber flights in mid air in Yemen and giving intelligence to the Saudi led coalition. Hello it is the US military we are causing the biggest humanitarian disaster in history. Yet where has the media have been in this whole war in Yemen while innocent kids are starving and getting cholera. The media is too busy worrying about Trump next tweet or Hollywood while this is going on. The media has not done their investigative journalism in this war at all because if they did you would all know who are the real perpetrators . What a shameful a time in humanity.
