Against the US-Zionist aggression and genocide: Victory for Palestine, victory for Yemen

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network unequivocally condemns the latest US-Zionist assault on Yemen, which has taken the lives of dozens of martyrs and injured many more in the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, and Saada Governorate, and urges all supporters of Palestine to stand in defense of Yemen and all those in the region and around the world targeted for their resistance to genocide.

The US’ latest bombing of Yemen illustrates vividly once again that this is now and always has been a US-Zionist genocide in Gaza and throughout occupied Palestine, against the Arab nation and against the region as a whole. The complicity and involvement of the Arab reactionary regimes in the assault on Yemen further underlines the alliance of Zionism, imperialism and Arab reaction in the enemy camp confronting all those who stand for justice, unity, self-determination and national and international liberation.

Yemen’s blockade of Zionist shipping is a blockade to break the siege and end genocide, the decolonization of the Red Sea from imperialist and Zionist control and domination. Yemen is leading the world in the implementation of the Genocide Convention and international law, requiring the Zionist regime to abide by its ceasefire conditions, end the siege on Gaza and stop blocking the entry of humanitarian aid. Any attack on Yemen is carried out, clearly and explicitly, to advance the project of genocide and starvation against the Palestinian people, through a bloody assault on the people of Yemen. The aggression on Yemen comes after Sayyed Abdel-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi announced that the four-day window for the Zionist regime to abide by its ceasefire agreement had expired and that, therefore, anti-genocide naval operations against Zionist shipping in the Bab al-Mandab strait would resume.

The people, armed forces, government and AnsarAllah movement of Yemen, and their revolutionary leadership, are defending their seas and land against genocide, and on the front lines in defense of the Palestinian people and advancing the liberation of Palestine. For the millions around the world boycotting the Zionist entity, it is clear that Yemen’s is the greatest example of boycott and sanctions on the Zionist regime in material practice, causing billions of dollars in damage to the Zionist genocide economy.

Millions of people continue to march in Yemen, presenting a brilliant example of the unity of popular action and mass mobilization with military action and armed struggle, with an incomparable willingness to sacrifice in order to liberate Palestine. Hezam al-Asad, a member of the political bureau of AnsarAllah, said: “Our stance in supporting our people in Gaza remains steadfast and is escalating until the siege is lifted. Nothing can affect our principled position in advocating for the injustice faced by the Palestinian people.”

It is clear that the US-Zionist assault will never break the will of the Yemeni people, after over 10 years of siege and blockade by the US-backed Arab reactionary regimes failed to quench the Yemeni people, their leadership in resistance, and their commitment to struggle for justice. Yemen stands strong, independent and free, despite the “terrorist designations” and the bombs of the imperialist powers, defending peace in the Red Sea against imperialist militarization and genocide traffic, and standing with the Palestinian people in Gaza against genocide, starvation and mass slaughter.

These attacks come simultaneously with intensified repression by the fascist state powers in the heart of the imperial core. Let us be clear: their arrests and deportations are meant to silence the movement, create fear and impose terror in the hearts of the population in order to give them free rein to bombard Yemen, to assault Gaza, to starve the Palestinian people, to attack Tulkarem, to advance genocide throughout Palestine, to threaten Iran.

It is critical that the Palestine movement stands fully with Yemen against this attack and refuses to be silenced by repression, to ensure that there is no business as usual for genocide. The only way we can effectively fight repression is to defend all those under attack and to escalate, in size, strength and numbers, our support for Palestine, for Yemen and for all of the forces of resistance. We cannot fight repression as a series of individual battles, but must do so as part of the anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist struggle, for the liberation of Palestine, the Arab nation and the region.

The Yemeni people are making quite clear that they will never stop their defense of Palestine, despite the bombings of civilian homes, power plants and infrastructure, by the US-Zionist imperialist monster. It is incumbent upon us all to take that same stand for Yemen, to begin to live up to the Yemeni example set every day with courage and steadfastness; to fill the streets and squares, to raise our voices, to make it impossible for the imperialist assaults to continue. To stand with Yemen is to stand with Palestine, is to stand with the global resistance in defense of humanity.

In June 2024, hundreds of organizations and thousands of individuals joined with us in a statement in defense of the Yemeni people against US-British-Zionist aggression. We reiterate every word said then and urge all to act now.

We stand with Yemen confronting U.S. and British aggression

We, the undersigned parties, organizations and associations, condemn the U.S.-British aggression and attacks on the struggling people of Yemen, we express our support for the principled Yemeni position towards the Palestinian cause rights, and we declare our solidarity with the Yemeni people in the historic battle that they are waging to end the genocide against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, to stop Zionist war crimes and to break the siege. We also stand behind the heroic Yemeni armed forces and their legitimate, natural right to respond to aggression as they implement the demands of the Yemeni people and the directives and decisions of the revolutionary leadership in Sana’a.

The people of Yemen, who have remained committed to their firm and advanced revolutionary position, continue to confront all forms of siege and aggression at the hands of the U.S. and British colonial forces and their agents in the region. They will not be intimidated by the recent U.S.-British massacre on May 31, 2024, which caused dozens of martyrs and casualties. The people of Yemen continue to express their position with unparalleled strength and courage, especially on Fridays, through the massive and solemn public demonstrations in “Sabaeen Square” in the center of the capital, Sana’a, and in various governorates, squares, and streets of the country.

The heroic Yemeni position, which has been embodied in word and deed in confronting war and aggression over the past ten years, and in supporting the Palestinian people for more than eight months, constitutes the true and necessary response against the Zionist-U.S. war of annihilation against the Palestinian people in the besieged Gaza Strip. It also embodies an effective revolutionary model in true solidarity with the Palestinian people. This exceptional stance has become a source of pride and inspiration for all peoples and movements for justice and liberation in the world, proving the strength of free peoples and their ability to change the equations of conflict and shift the balance of power as they confront imperialism, Zionism and their agents in the world.

Glory to the martyrs and speedy recovery to the wounded

The criminal camp of U.S.-British-Zionist aggression and and their agents in the region will be defeated

Victory for the Palestinian and Yemeni peoples and for the resistance camp in Palestine, Lebanon and Iraq

Long live international solidarity
