https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slogan_of_the_Houthi_movement

The slogan of the Houthi movement (officially called "Ansar Allah"), a Shia Islamist political and military organization in Yemen, reads "God Is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, A Curse Upon the Jews, Victory to Islam"

Wow, what do you even say to that?

Some sources state that it was first chanted at the Imam al-Hadi school in Marran in January 2002, while others claim that Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi used it after seeing footage of a young Palestinian dying in his father's arms during the Second Intifada in 2000

Well it seems like they're confusing Judaism with Zionism. They should be explained the difference because their anger is clearly misdirected.

As for the rest, it's pretty normal if you look up what America has done to Yemen.

"Wow, the Middle East is fucked up" is usually what I go with.
