Following the Arab-Islamic summit in Saudi Arabia, the Houthis launched an antisemitic online campaign aimed at designating the Jewish state as a terrorist state. The campaign began on Sunday evening on social media according to an official statement by a member of the Houthi Supreme Political Council. The irony is not lost on the Houthis.
The invitation to participate in the campaign reads: "Israel is a terrorist entity and its massacres that violate the rights of the Palestinian people for the past year show this. Join the campaign to demand that the Arab League and the Islamic Committee designate Israel on the terrorist list, by spreading the hashtag." The Houthis asked the campaign begin on Monday at 21:00 with the hastag #Israel_Terror_State.
The digital front
The call was answered and at 21:00, X was flooded with the Houthi campaign demanding that the Arab-Islamic summit in Riyadh with the participation of several Arab countries, classify Israel on the list of global terrorist entities. The Houthi official, Nasr al-Din Amer, who is also participating in the campaign, published a post in which he wrote: "Important and urgent. A tweet campaign was launched to demand that Israel be included in the terror list." Since then, Amer has spread several more inciting tweets.
The senior Houthi leader Hazam al-Assad also participated in the campaign and uploaded countless posts with photos from the Gaza Strip. In one of them, he added a photo, which he claimed came from Gaza, and in the description, he wrote: "This is not the nuclear attack on Hiroshima, but the city of Jabalia which is now being destroyed in front of the whole world."
The Shiite-Iranian axis has claimed throughout the war that Arab countries are not doing enough for Gaza and to stop the war, and that some even support Israel. Either way, the Arab-Islamic conference did not meet the demands of Iran's proxy in Yemen, despite the harsh statements against Israel from the summit. The Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman called the war in the Gaza Strip "genocide" and surprisingly sided with Iran.
The result of the ongoing campaign is a huge amount of anti-Israel, violent, antisemitic posts being shared by Houthi supporters without any oversight. The tweets also include many cartoons, as is customary in the Arab world.
The Yemeni cartoonist Kamal Sharaf, who also participated in the campaign, published a post in which he wrote: "The final statement of the Arab-Islamic summit" and added the following cartoon, according to which Israel is in the hearts of those who participated in the summit today, even though the discourse was about the interests of the Palestinians.
