Middle East crisis live: Yemen’s Houthis claim first attack on Israel since outbreak of Iran war and warn ‘operations will continue’ The Guardian View Full Coverage on Google News
# THE TAKE The Guardian's breathless "live coverage" obscures what actually matters here: we're watching a proxy conflict where the U.S. is bankrolling one side while pretending neutrality. Let's be direct—Houthi attacks on shipping and now Israel aren't happening in a vacuum. They're a direct response to U.S.-backed Saudi airstrikes that have killed thousands of Yemeni civilians. State Department cables (released via FOIA in 2021) show officials *knew* about civilian casualties and approved continued arms transfers anyway. The "Iran war" framing is propaganda. This is about regional power consolidation, and we're financing it. Israel's Iron Dome—U.S. funded. Saudi bombing campaigns—U.S. weapons. Meanwhile, the media treats each Houthi strike as shocking rather than predictable blowback. I'm not defending attacks on civilians. I'm saying the Guardian's play-by-play coverage without naming America's complicity in Yemen's humanitarian catastrophe is journalistic malpractice. The operations will continue because the conditions that created them—poverty, occupation, foreign intervention—remain untouched. Until that changes, expect more escalation. And expect our media to act surprised.
