Brendan O'Neill: What a pathetic bunch of cry-bullies Israel’s enemies are


The Houthis started a war with Israel and now they’re blubbing like babies because Israel struck back.

If I had spent a large chunk of the past two years firing missiles into France, at some point I’d expect a missile back. I would know, even in the delirium of my Francophobic violence, that the French would target me for death one day, and what’s more that they would have every right to do so. So what’s with all the wailing and rushing for the fainting couch following Israel’s decapitation of the Houthi terror group? This is a virulently anti-Semitic militia that has been terrorising the Jewish State with bombs and drones for two years straight. Israel’s strike back is not a ‘war crime’, as the moral illiterates of the Israelophobic mob would have you believe – it’s justice.

Max Salmon: Houthi rebels


Half a world away from New Zealand in the Red Sea, a small group is making a big splash in international relations theory and philosophy.

The Houthis, already well known for their stunning flag design talents and progressive stance on ageist restrictions to military service, have awed the intellectual community once again.

Chris Trotter: Hitting The Houthis.


“Second night of NZ’s coalition bombing of Yemen!” This hair-raising statement, from veteran leftist Robert Reid, was followed by an even more jaw-dropping claim: “So NZ is at war without any debate, mandate, cabinet or parliamentary resolution and while its government is still on holiday!!”
While it is certainly the case that the New Zealand Left is currently in an excitable frame of mind, Reid’s posting on “X”, has taken that excitability to a whole new level.

Point of Order: Buzz from the Beehive - 15/1/24



Economics underpin Govt’s derailing of Labour transport project and its support for military strikes in Yemen

The coalition Government has announced (on the domestic front) the cancellation of the Auckland Light Rail project and (on the international front) its support for Western military strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen.

It has also got around to posting two press statements released on New Year’s Day, presumably when the people who administer the government’s official website were on holiday.
