The US military says it has launched strikes on the Iranian-backed Houthi group in Yemen, hitting 15 targets.
Every time. Maybe we should start putting the word "US-backed" in front of "Israel" in every news article about them.

I never really understood what a shibboleth was until this conflict.
It's BBC. The target audiance is the West...
It's even mentioning the country Yemen when it's about Huthi... Why? Probably because not everyone knows that. Same with the fact that Huthi is funded by Iran...
Mentioning that the USA supports Israel is as useful in the West as mentioning that the USA are on the continent America....
Sometimes, what looks like a conspiracy has an easy explanation..
You would think they would know that, given that every time the "Houthis" have been mentioned in the Western press, it has been with the prefix "Iranian-backed." It's the same as the fact that "Hamas-run" must always precede "Gaza Health Ministry." But every Western newspaper uses the same exact words and phrases over and over again while neglecting to use them wrt other subjects even when applicable by pure chance! And it is chance to the second power that this all serves the interest of influencing the public to support US imperialism.
Go on the streets in the USA and ask people where Yemen is on a map... The result will be a surprise. Few people will know it...
Ask others where Huthi rules... That's nothing that the average person knows.
that "Hamas-run" must always precede "Gaza Health Ministry."
The media also often mention that the death numbers reported by that ministry is expected to be accurate based on past reports...
Let's be honest: If you want to see a conspiracy, you will see it... The reports about the Olympic games sounded also very similar across all newspapers...
You responded to nothing. Do I honestly have to explain how empty this is?
Maybe we should start putting the word "propaganda" in front of every post from Hexbear.
