Thank you, Yemeni
Yemen, you understand suffering like as quick as I speak 1, 2, 3
Most likely the reason you're showing The Holy Land sympathy
Your peoples' humanitarian crisis, remains one of the worst in the world's current history
Let us not forget you in a manner that you've not forgotten Palestine's ongoing catastrophe

Thank you, UN's ICJ
Though ridiculously and absurdly late you were getting to the courtroom, you ruled justly and honestly
Keep the pressure on the thugs who oppress many
Doing so will prove that your words are true and that you have integrity

Thank you, Yemeni and UN's ICJ,
A God-Given Victory

After nine years of war, Yemen remains one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. An estimated 4.5 million people—14 percent of the population—are currently displaced, most of whom have been displaced multiple times over a number of years. Mar 21, 2024

The UN’s international court of justice (ICJ) has ordered Israel to end its occupation of the Palestinian territories “as rapidly as possible” and make full reparations for its “internationally wrongful acts” in a sweeping and damning advisory opinion that says the occupation violates international law.

In a historic, albeit non-binding, opinion, the court found multiple breaches of international law by Israel including activities that amounted to apartheid.

It will make sobering reading for Israel’s allies, with the court advising that other states are under an obligation not to recognise the occupation as lawful nor to aid or assist it.
