Here’s a little blast from the past

Pictures of sick children and headlines like this became typical.

The attempt to stop weapons from going to the Houthis failed, and the Iran-backed Islamic terrorist group armed up and began terrorizing shipping lanes.

But here’s the extraordinary thing about the aftermath of the Yemen famine hoax.

Not only weren’t there tens of thousands of kids who had starved to death, but Yemen had a massive population boom.

Earlier this year, the UN demanded $2.47 billion for its 2025 Yemen Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan. In February, the Houthis killed a WFP worker (an event that got far less publicity than the deaths of aid workers in Gaza), but in April, the WFP expressed outrage that the United States was finally, at least temporarily, pausing aid and would not be allocating over $100 million in funds to the enemy region at war with the United States.

After 9 years of non-stop famine (and billions in spending), 17 million people are facing acute hunger in Yemen. That’s up from 15.9 million people in 2019.

Since the famine began, Yemen’s population shot up from 30 million to 39 million.

It was all lies. It still is.

The same tactics used in Yemen, photos of sick kids who look like they’re starving, and false claims of famine no matter how much aid goes in, are being used in Gaza.

The same lie. The same hoax. For the same purpose. To aid Islamic terrorists.

Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice. What’s that?
