US weapons aiding Saudi attacks in Yemen killing tens of thousands of civilians including children. Where is the outrage? There is none! Why are the horrors of Israel's war crimes in Gaza getting world wide condemnation and not a whisper about these war crimes (dare I say genocide) in Yemen?
Could it be a double standard?
Thanks very much for letting us know, joj!
I had no idea as well as having no idea about the vast majority of really bad things happening in the world. At least when somebody like you assists with a post like this to open a new thread, I have the opportunity to look it up and share the information yielded from the search!
Please use this thread to help me be more effective at accomplishing that. I'm sure there's much more than the moderator at MarketForum can find!

In March 2025, the United States launched a large campaign of air and naval strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen. Codenamed Operation Rough Rider,[10] it was the first large-scale US military operation in the Middle East during President Donald Trump's second term.[11] The strikes began on March 15, targeting radar systems, air defenses, and ballistic and drone launch sites used by the Houthis to attack commercial ships and naval vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.[12] On 30 April 2025, the United Kingdom joined the United States in conducting strikes on Houthi targets.[13]
The Houthi group began targeting international shipping in October 2023, after Israel invaded the Gaza Strip in response to the October 7 Hamas attacks. Claiming solidarity with Palestinians and aiming to pressure Israel into agreeing to a ceasefire and lifting its blockade of Gaza,[11] the Houthis launched missiles and drones at vessels traveling near Yemen, and also fired ballistic missiles at Israeli cities, killing at least one civilian in Tel Aviv.[14][15] In response, the United States, the United Kingdom, and a multinational coalition began Operation Prosperity Guardian, combining naval escorts with episodic airstrikes on Houthi military and civilian infrastructure.[16]
By mid-March 2025, the Houthis had attacked more than 190 ships, sinking two, seizing another, and killing at least four seafarers.[17] On March 18, Trump warned Iran—longtime backers of the Houthis—that further attacks would be considered acts of aggression, despite no direct involvement.[18]
On May 6, President Donald Trump declared the strikes to be over, "effective immediately," as a result of a ceasefire between the US and the Houthis, brokered by Oman.[19] The Houthis asserted that the ceasefire did not in "any way, shape, or form" preclude attacking Israel, which had just begun bombing Yemen.[20]

You're welcome to try to make a case for this activity to qualify as a genocide. I just found out about it less than an hour ago and don't have enough information yet to have an opinion.

The Yemeni civil war (Arabic: الحرب الأهلية اليمنية, romanized: al-ḥarb al-ʾahlīyah al-yamanīyah) is an ongoing multilateral civil war that began in late 2014 mainly between the Rashad al-Alimi-led Presidential Leadership Council and the Mahdi al-Mashat-led Supreme Political Council, along with their supporters and allies. Both sides claim to constitute the official government of Yemen.
