Sons of Atreus

This blog does not consider Gaza to be Amalek. We're not here to turn that on Israel, either; I say "we" because this blog's in authorative company. Said blogger can identify for you who is Amaleq, rather: the soi-disant Ansarallahi in Yemen, led by the Houthi clan.

Today the Houthis say they are Stopping The Spice because of Israel's war - also Gaza's war. The Houthis and their mostly-Shi'a supporters don't see the war the way this guy (probably) did. For the Houthis as for Gazans, the aim is Death To Israel and - for the former - a Curse Upon The Jews. Why allow someone cursed to live among you? Yemen used to host many Jews; the locals expelled them. That gives an idea what the Curse should be: no place for the Jew in the whole of Islam, except under temporary sufferance, even that much we'll never see from Yemenis nor Gazans. For the Houthis Islam itself (in Shi'a form) deserves to rule the rest of us, meanwhile. They don't call themselves "Ansar al-Yamani".

If the Houthis are obeyed, don't expect The Spice To Flow. All Israel would need to be dismantled in a process speedy-enough for Houthi satisfaction. And what if some angry bastard somewhere in Tyler, Texas kicks a Koran in the meantime? Ooop! Up go the missiles and drones again.

Out in cinemas last weekend, the Harkonnens had taken Arrakis and thought they could use the local backlash to climb up the Imperial ladder. Obviously, they did it wrong. Someone's got to do Yemen right and we really shouldn't get hung up on how.
