The core barrier to peace in the Middle East isn’t Israel. It’s not even the settlements. It’s a culture of jihadism that teaches children Jews and Americans are the enemy before they can think for themselves. These are Houthi children. Kids. And yet, they’re already chanting for our death. Not because of anything we did to them, but because political Islam filled their heads with lies. It’s not their fault. But the damage is real. They’re being raised to believe violence is virtue. And unless something changes, many of them will grow up to become the very people firing at ships and calling it justice. America’s role in Yemen has been trying to stabilize the region and fight famine. And still, this is what we get back.
