The province of Taiz in southern Yemen has been a battleground for weeks, with the Houthis controlling much of the city and fighting against a combination of local Sunni tribes and pro-Saudi forces loyal to the former Hadi government. Today, Saudi warplanes got involved in a big way.
As usual, the result was an absolute disaster, as Saudi warplanes attacked and leveled a heavily populated residential neighborhood in the port city of Mocha, killing at least 120 civilians and wounding 150 others.
The local hospital, naturally, was overwhelmed by this huge influx of casualties, and witnesses described animal-drawn carts dragging the badly burned bodies around to hospitals in the area. The provincial capital of Taiz, with its bigger facilities, is said to be unreachable because of heavy fighting along the road.
Mocha is near the port city of Aden, which Hadi’s forces recently seized much of, and Saudi airstrikes began targeting the Houthi forces defending the town from a possible influx of fighters from Aden. 20 were reported killed in initial attacks, before the residential areas started getting hit and quickly burst into flames.
And every bomb has English writing on it and says proudly "Made in the USA"
How many of your neighbors houses would need be leveled before 120 were dead? Is it any wonder they hate us?
Funny how the UN has been dead silent on this massive war crime committed by Saudi Arabia's invasion of Yemen. And, not only Saudi Arabia but the U.S. aiding and abetting in this massive war crime. I am sure if Saudi Arabia was Syria doing the samething the big mouth Samantha Powers would be screaming genocide and every human rights abuse gimmick there is to get us to bomb Saudi Arabia. But, because Saudi Arabia is our ally and we are actually assisting, then massive slaughter of civilians and human rights abusing is okay.
And that too killing civilians in another country. The Yemenis only fault? They were fighting the Saudi hordes ISIS, and kicked out the Saudi installed stooge.
August 2, 2014 U.S. Holds the World Record of Killings of Innocent Civilians By Prof. John McMurtry and Kourosh Ziabari
A world-renowned Canadian philosopher argues that the United States holds the world record of illegal killings of unarmed civilians and extrajudicial detention and torturing of prisoners who are detained without trial. Prof. John McMurtry says that the U.S. government is a gigantic mass-murdering machine which earns profit through waging wars, and is never held accountable over its unspeakable war crimes and crimes against humanity. He also believes that the U.S. has become a police state, which treats its citizens in the most derogatory manner.

The oil-rich dictators, they just announced a five day “humanitarian cease fire.” Surely, for this premeditated murder of the harmless, it has to be about the worse war crime the world has ever known. Absolutely the worst, as the international community is totally indifferent to it.
Saudi arabia has become the second Israel in the region to bomb those who are against such change of politics. Such adopted politics is orchestrated by USG and European to keep their dictatorial regimes and create others as they have when ISIS was introduced, which in terms is a open cop de Etta to create a buffer zone for Iran, Iraq and Syria to continue with their unifications, this time in form of barbarians originating from USG and EU and Saudis involvement when Afghanistan were invaded by U.S. Militarism and Neo fascism politics setup by Bush. Many believe that removing Syrian, Iraq, Iran, Libya regimes were planned long time ago, which is true when Bush invaded Iraq wanting to remove Iran and Syria government to be replaced by their kind of friends, that idea didn't worked so the easiest way to implement their rotten idea was to remove Libyan regime planned by Hillary Clinton with help of GCC and Saudis Islamist.
The war criminals as Tony Blair, George W. Bush, David Cameron of England and other Neo liberal and other European Neo fascism, these people are free simply because of justice systems in either USA or Europe doesn't function, that's due to so many corrupted and biased politicians from Sweden to Italy to USA to France to Saudi to Qatar and etc being involved, those whom ideas are about slavering people's around the world by idea in colonialism. For such systems to show its justice, they need to prosecute more then half of their kings and queens and politicians which if happens the entire what is called "democracy" system will collapse. In US, for justice system to prosecute George W. Bush and his gangs, the system needs to prosecute more then half of billionaires who contributed to George W. Bush campaign, to prosecute Hillary Clinton they need to prosecute more then half of US Democratic Party including but not limiting the high ranking far right politicians ruling USG system for apitalism and militarism.
The atrocities committed by England governing system/European hand in hand with USG toward nations around the world is simply based on supremecy, racism and militarism which are the social tools for system to keep its political and economical power, killing of African American since 1900 is tip of the ice, killing other nations and calling it "civilization" or "super power" originates from being racist showing fascism power in militarized form. As long as people can be fooled by charms and false promises by these paid and corrupted politicians, the justice system will not be functional as a social justice tools. The name "Justice" t's there but without any functionality carrying to implement the meaning of the word.
