In The Camps (In den Kasernen)

bump for the oblivious sheep

I don't understand this thread at all. Didn't Saudi Arabia invade Yemen? They are in a proxy war with Iran. So what does Israel have to do with the admittedly almost complete destruction of Yemen and of course the many, many innocent children and babies murdered?

For those who don't know the war in Yemen began over extreme tribal and religious (different versions or interpretations of Islam) animosity when elections were said to be rigged and fraudulent. There was a long brewing power struggle over how those who didn't hold government, police, and legal authority were being treated. Arrests were made for political reasons which only exasperated the conflict.

Saudi Arabia has always hired desperately poor mercenaries this time from South America. Americans are paid to train the forces but have generally tried to stay out of the seemingly never ending destruction. At times Iran backed and trained Yemen soldiers have crossed into Saudi Arabia and attacked.

So once again what does Israel have to do with Yemen's Civil War? Yes they have tried to maintain a mutual non-aggression policy with Saudi Arabia as both countries have far more serious military threats from other countries to handle. However the latter still despises Israel and wishes they did not exist at all.

It's an old song.
