It's interesting that the media always refer the group as "The Houthis", trying to smear them a terrorist gangsters, whereas they are just the most prominent family and founders of a political resistance movement "Ansar Allah".
And of course the media fail to report that since the end of the civil war, the end of the British inspired and armed war with Saudi Arabia and the Arab Spring, the group is the de facto government of Yemen, while the "official" - i.e. recognised by 'the west' government, is powerless, holed up in Aden.
The UK still has an active military presence there, with frigates in the Red Sea, and likely troops on the ground as 'advisors' or 'trainers'. The East India Company navy first shelled Yemen to create "Aden" (as a coaling port for the India trade) in 1839 - so the British have now been at war with Yemen for, oh let me do the maths - 186 years. And we wonder why they are so damned uppity.
And the MSM makes no effort to even pronounce the name correctly! It’s not Hoothis. It’s HOU-TEES. There is no “th” sound in Arabic. ( If you’re thinking of Bethlehem, it’s actually Beit Leim.)
Hello Gypsy 33 (Pisces, righteous temper.... Couldn't be. Not a Pisces).
You are well versed in the old language. I was not aware of that spelling.
Well, I do think that as far as the corrupt, western media is concerned, the spelling and pronunciation of the names of all the terrorists throughout the world, the majority of who are not terrorists at all, is of little concern. It is to distract from the real terrorists, namely Israel and the USA, the likes of which we haven't seen in this world since 1939 and on.
Anyone who dare to fight the USA for example is a terrorist. Standard practice.
Remember the Auschwitz party some weeks ago. What absolute gall you would need to have to stand there among the internationally invited hundreds, sad eyes, tears, being asked to remember all their stories about the holocaust while at the same time the IDF rapists and snipers, populated with dual citizens from the very same western countries, kill innocent women and children while representing the enemy as Hamas.
Wrong. What is your basis for asserting this pronunciation? A non-local dialect of Arabic? All Arabian Peninsula pronunciation guides give the “th” in Houthi as very close to the “th” in the English word “booth”.
The "Houthi" terminology is straight from US DOD & CIA propaganda book. Its the term they use ....because they dont want to sall them Ansar Allah - they dont want anyone to ask questions about WHO are these people, what do they believe in, how do they behave? No we just get propagdana "Houthi rebels".
And the main stream media dont even have journalists anymore with regional or subject matter expertise to determine what the appropriate terms are or what are these people doing. And if they had them they still wouldnt care.
So what's in the "news" is basically govt propagdana sheets, with zero filter.
Its the same playbook by which the US govt refers to anyone they dont like as a "regime" and the media just parrot the term.
Strange that the Germans, who have been occupied for 80 years now, are so complacent when it comes to having their demographics, heritage and country destroyed isn't it?
The german complacency is historically inbred latest since Prussia took over 33 little Germanies. The Prussian King crowned himself Emperor of the 2. German Reich in Versailles in 1871. Complacency became a survival strategy also during the 3rd Reich. The 4th Reich is in the hands of the occupier.

The greatest act of hypocrisy in my lifetime.
