The Houthis just blew up the Greek-flagged oil tanker Sounion in the Red Sea, spilling 150,000 barrels of oil—4 times worse than the Exxon Valdez

"Immigration"? OK, I'm with you on that point. But the bottom line with the Houthis (and muslims in general) is irrelevant to the "immigration" problem in the US and Europe but the fact is that the "immigration" of Zionists in Palestinian is the relevant subject. The Houthis (as it turns out) are actually the good guys.

They sure have hurt Yemen.

I think the Valdez spilled more.

How much oil was spilled?
Approximately 11 million gallons or 257,000 barrels or 35,000 metric tonnes (38,800 short tons). Picture the swimming pool at your school or in your community. The amount of spilled oil is roughly equivalent to 17 olympic-sized swimming pools.

The Houthis have been around for a thousand years. They were monarchs.

Its more complicated than that.

Who are Yemen's Houthis?

Iran is widely accused of backing the Houthis, a Zaydi Shiite movement that has been fighting Yemen’s Sunni-majority government since 2004.

www.wilsoncenter.org

A Zaydi imamate ruled Yemen for 1,000 years, before being overthrown in 1962. Since then, the Zaydis – stripped of their political power – have struggled to restore their authority and influence in Yemen. In the 1980s, the Houthi clan began a movement to revive Zaydi traditions, feeling threatened by state-funded Salafist preachers who established a base in Houthi areas. Not all Zaydis, however, align with the Houthi movement.

mess-----socially its big problem is that family rift over ALI never went away----DR. PHIL???

its very difficult to get a handle on the Houthis

But as far as I can make sense of the issue, the practice a form of Shia islam very close to what iran practices

Which I think means they are happy to die for allah

The are a suicide movement willing to die for their religious beliefs

It's very different from Shia Islam in Iran.
