October 7, genocide and Yemen
The writer argues Al-Aqsa Flood shattered the Zionist narrative, returned Palestine to the global forefront, and drew the Axis of Resistance into battle. He notes Israel's losses since October 7 exceed all since 1948, and that no force has shown greater sacrifice than Hezbollah, Palestinian fighters, Yemen, and Iran. Now, as the US warns over Bab al-Mandab, a new front is opening in Yemen.
