American Thanksgiving wishes and thoughts about Yemen’s Huthis who hailed Hezbollah’s “victory” after ceasefire: is it surprising since the slogan on their flag is “Allah is great, death to the USA, death to Israel, curse the Jews, victory to Islam”?

Which victory are the Huthis talking about when they hail the (damaged) Hezbollah, which dragged Lebanon into a cruel war on October 8, 2023 (https://shorturl.at/6u7gZ)?

Which victory are Hezbollah fans (some kids) celebrating with two fingers or expressing with photography, flags, firework, or gunshots?

Since when are trauma, massive destruction of a country, displacement, injuries, and mortality signs of victory?

History repeats itself in the Land of the Cedars and, sadly, no lesson seems to have been learned. In 2006, there was a post-war slogan of “divine victory“. in 2024, this exact type of delusion remains pervasive, at least in some.

To come back to the odd Huthis, the focus of this post, did you know that the slogan on their flags is shamelessly: Allah (= God) is great, death to America, death to Israel, curse on the Jews, victory to Islam“ (https://shorturl.at/Lc9Fk)?

This lovely slogan was the topic of an old post shown below. Back then, the USA removed this group from the list of terrorists. That was clearly a mistake, in Bambi’s humble non-expert citizen opinion. Look where we are now. At least now, Mr. Biden re-put them on this so-called terrorist list. At least now, there is a ceasefire, which is surely wiser than fire. Thanks for the efforts to stop the madness, even if a ceasefire is always delicate, risky, and even scary, to say the least.

Hopefully one day we will observe neutrality of Lebanon toward all, including but not limited to Israel, Palestine, Syria, Iran, USA, Europe,etc. Lebanon should be put first by all, including the Hezbollah. Without the latter, no ceasefire can work since the best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour. As far as Bambi is concerned, she has an impossible dream for her birth country and it is called peace (after healing), not just ceasefire: Live and let live on each side of all borders, including the South one with Israel.

This being said, a question about the Huthis that begs itself now: How can we trust a group with such a low level of spirituality, civility, and humanity when they pretend to support the people of Lebanon and their so-called “Victory”? It is clear that they are blinded by their Islamist mindset, which has been fully weaponized by Iran for its own strategic and nuclear interests. This mindset is SAD news for the beautiful religion of Islam, to begin with. Imagine how sad it would be to the rest of the world then, not just the Middle East.

To end this note on a more beautiful note, Bambi will leave you with: (1) a picture of the Lebanese army ready to be deployed in the South of the country. All the best to each of these soldiers who sadly paid a heavy price in a war they did not even participate in. Too bad we did not see such picture in 2006 following war. Over the years, even UNIFL did not, or could not, prevent this tragic war. Indeed, back then, sadly, Iran, through Hezbollah and its allies or enablers (domestically and internationally), decided to act differently; and (2) warm wishes to her relatives, friends, readers, and neighbours for their American Thanksgiving (Huthis, you can relax and ignore this, despite your slogan of death wishes)! May everyone be safe and merry ❤️!
