This isn’t about Israel. You know the Houthi flag starts with “Allahu Akhbar” and then the second line is “Death to America.” Then it’s “Death to Israel,” “Curse be the Jews” and then “Victory to Islam.” But it’s first “Death to America.” And that needs to be remembered.

Lmao this reminded me of another hit piece from our friends at jpost:

Well, have you looked at the houthi flag? That's literally what it's saying: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houthi_movement

Would you blame them? Death to America is the logical conclusion for a modern Middle Eastern person.

I think they were just laughing at the hyperbole of saying it "isn't about Israel".
