“Operations in the Red and Arabian Seas, Bab al-Mandab Strait, and the Gulf of Aden are continuing, escalating, and effective,” Abdul Malik al-Houthi added in a televised speech. He gave no details of the submarine weapons.

Ships owned by individuals or entities in Israel, the U.S. and U.K. or sailing under their flags are banned from the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea, Thursday’s notices said.

“The Humanitarian Operations Center was established in Sanaa to coordinate the safe and peaceful passage of ships and vessels that have no connection to Israel,” a senior Houthi official told Reuters on Thursday.

No ships have been sunk nor crew killed during the Houthi campaign. However there are concerns about the fate of the UK-registered Rubymar cargo vessel, which was struck on Feb. 18 and its crew evacuated.

    Farhud (also Farhood; Arabic: الفرهود) was the pogrom or the “violent dispossession” that was carried out against the Jewish population of Baghdad, Iraq, on 1–2 June 1941, immediately following the British victory in the Anglo-Iraqi War.

    THE BRITS took over Baghdad and then did Pogroms. Let’s blame the Arabs!

    Don’t look up what European colonialism had to do with Jewish persecution either that’s going to be very inconvenient.

    I also clicked on the Damascus Affair 1840 link. Since you didn’t, I’ll help you out.

    Spoiler alert: It’s Europe again:

    Since the beginning of the sixteenth century, Syria had been part of the Ottoman Empire (1299–1922). However, in 1831, eight years before the Tanzimat reforms, Ottoman Syria had come under the control of the Egyptian Muhammad Ali, the viceroy of Ottoman Egypt who had turned against the sultan. Muhammad Ali was said to have been influenced by European powers, particularly by France, which often attempted to safeguard and ameliorate the position of members of Catholic orders in the region.

        In classic Hasbara fashion this person took a list of Wikipedia links that sounded convenient and did not read them

        I read the top and the middle article at random which were fully BS and actually disproved the claims. The quotes to disprove them were provided

        A person can’t link 50 examples and pretend I have to debunk every single one. Two is plenty.

        Next time someone provides a list a good idea for them is to read it themselves to make sure they can actually use it as argument.

      “According to Iraqi government and British historical sources violence started when a delegation of Jewish Iraqis arrived at the Palace of Flowers (Qasr al Zuhur) to meet with the Regent Abdullah, and were attacked en route by an Iraqi Arab mob as they crossed Al Khurr Bridge. Iraqi Arab civil disorder and violence then swiftly spread to the Al Rusafa and Abu Sifyan districts, and got worse the next day when elements of the Iraqi police began joining in with the attacks upon the Jewish population, involving shops belonging to it being set on fire and a synagogue being destroyed. Many Jewish girls were gang-raped and children maimed and killed in front of their families.”

      “Shalom Darwish, the secretary of the Jewish community in Baghdad, testified that several days before the Farhud, the homes of Jews were marked with a red palm print (“Hamsa”), by al-Futuwa youth. Al-Sabawi also instructed Jews in Baghdad to pack suitcases and to wait to be taken to “detention camps” “for their own safety”.”

      “Two days before the Farhud, Yunis al-Sabawi, a government minister who proclaimed himself the governor of Baghdad, summoned Rabbi Sasson Khaduri, the community leader, and recommended to him that Jews stay in their homes for the next three days as a protective measure. He had planned for a larger massacre, preparing to broadcast a call for the Baghdad public to massacre Jews. However, the broadcast was never made since al-Sabawi was forced to flee the country.”

      planned and done by muslim iraqis.
      not to mention all of the other massacres and anti-semitism cases i’ve linked.
      but it’s pretty clear by this point you’ll justify any case of anti-semitism by arabs / muslims.

        Yes now don’t ask yourself the question of why the word BRITISH is in that first sentence.

        Once the Brits install a government it is not commanded by Arabs.

          someone here didn’t read.
          the ones who initiated the pogrom weren’t part of the british government. they were part of the coup government who took power from the british

          nonetheless you’re ignoring everything else i linked, like the persecution of yemenite jews.

          or the persecution and discrimination against isfahan jews in iran and how they were forced to wear badges under islamic rule. centuries before the nazis.

            You’re right I did miss some info. It was Nazis and Britis. But the Pogrom happened under the Brits.

            it’s at the ramp up of WW2 and everyone wanted to control the oil. So Baghdad got a nice amount of Nazi propaganda. And their government overthrown of course.

            The British also delayed their entry into Baghdad for 48 hours, which some testimonies suggest was due to having ulterior motives in allowing a clash to happen between Muslims and Jews in the city.[29]

            Now the 1300 one could be true I haven’t read it yet. But there I am very much noticing a theme of Europeans showing up

            Many of these “Arab” ones were very much pushed on the Arab Jews by Europe.

              rashid ali was an iraqi muslim, so was yunis al-sabawi, so were al-futuwa youth that marked jewish houses before the farhud and so were the iraqi mob and police that massacred and raped jews.
              arabs aren’t infantile human beings with no agency or responsibility.

              you wrote that these things only happened in europe. iraq isn’t europe.

              either way i gave other examples without any kind of european presence. and there are plenty more.
