Yemen, my poor country, has decided to bomb Israel.

My poor country is more concerned with killing Jews than feeding its starving population.

This is the problem with the Arab world.

Blind unforgiving hatred. Wrong choices. And psychopathic leadership.

More than 75% of the Yemeni population is living under poverty, and yet our tribal leaders are determined to jeopardize the safety of an already malnourished and vulnerable society.

Yemen is the world’s largest humanitarian crisis according to the UN. We cannot afford to feed half of our population, yet apparently, we can afford to fire missiles aimed at killing the Jews.

Yemenis persecuted Yemeni Jews for more than 1,400 years. When Israel was established, Yemeni Jews finally found a place they could call home and be safe in. So they fled. Every single one of them.

And now, the Yemeni Jews are under attack by Yemenis - again.

I have received hundreds of messages from Yemenis telling me ”You are not a Yemeni!", "You are a Jew!", "You are a shame to Yemen!!”

It is an honor to be a "shame" to my country today.

Let me know when we start feeding our starving population instead of bombing the Jews.

Let me know when we unlearn the Jew-hatred, the hatred, the misogyny, the homophobia, etc. etc. etc.

Only then would I be a proud Yemeni.

But not right now.
