A few days ago I saw a series of tweets that read that the current Israeli foreign minister ordered his diplomats to lobby to have the Houthis listed as a terrorist organization.
The Middle East has known many instabilities. Major incidents were the conflict between Iraq and Iran, Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait, which prompted the US to intervene, the American invasion of Iraq, during which no chemical weapons were found, and the Saudi invasion of Yemen, as the Saudis didn't want Iranian influence at their doorstep.
One major event was not caused by state parties: the Arab Spring, whose roots lay in the 2009 global food price hikes.
However, I mainly focus on the effects of what is happening in Gaza meaning the escalation by the United States by bringing the war to Yemen amid Netanyahu's 'Greater Israel' crusade into Lebanon and Syria.
Unlike the general and politically motivated approach particularly in the global north, I look from a different perspective, namely interference in the continuation of the existence of life of (other) people that have been since people discovered the existence of power and domination and learned that both can be used even in a destructive way. In Gaza, it is about ending the continuation of the existence of life of the Palestinian people.
So, I view what the Houthis do for these people as what it is: intervention, not terrorism.
