Behind the News, 1/25/24 - guests: Shireen Al-Adeimi on the Houthis • Aurélie Daher on Hezbollah - Doug Henwood

With his airstrikes this month ordered in response to attacks on Red Sea shipping, Joe Biden has become the fourth consecutive U.S. president to bomb Yemen. The strikes targeted against the Houthi militant group are aimed at preventing further attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea. Biden himself has said that the strikes carried out so far have been ineffective but that they would continue on nonetheless. This week on Intercepted, Shireen Al-Adeimi, an assistant professor of language and literacy at Michigan State University and non-resident fellow at the Quincy Institute focused on Yemen, joins us to discuss the history of U.S. involvement in the country since the war on terror and the potential impact of this new intervention on Yemeni society. With co-hosts Jeremy Scahill and Murtaza Hussain, Al-Adeimi discusses the U.S. role in facilitating a disastrous Saudi and Emirati war in Yemen over the past decade, the emergence of the Houthis, and the political threats of the present conflict as Yemenis attempt to negotiate a peace agreement aimed at putting an end to a devastating conflict that has killed hundreds of thousands in the country.If you'd like to support our work, go to theintercept.com/give, where your donation, no matter what the amount, makes a real difference.And if you haven't already, please subscribe to the show so you can hear it every week.

This is the conclusion of our 2-part conversation with Michael Hardt on his recently published book The Subversive Seventies. Part 1 is here. In this conversation we talk about the turn among management and the ruling class in the 1970's away from a politics of mediation and discuss the various ways that movements in the 1970's sought to deal with this shift in the political terrain. We talk about the false problem of the so-called debate between non-violence and violence. We discuss various movements including East Asian Anti-Japan Armed Front, Weather Underground, The Black Panther Party, and the Fatsa Commune.  A reminder that this conversation - like part 1 - was recorded in September and this is why we con't reference some more recent events like the Palestinian resistance and Israel's western backed genocidal war on Palestinians.  We also have a little bit of a discussion of Hardt's use of the notion of strategic multiplicity and the idea of non-priority between different forms of oppression within movements.  Lastly I know I acknowledged it last time, but I do mention Sekou Odinga in this episode, who as you all know passed away just recently. Again may he rest in power. For the month of January we've released three livestreams on our YouTube page. One with Josh Davidson and Eric King on Rattling the Cages: Oral Histories of North American Political Prisoners. Another is a wide-ranging discussion with Abdaljawad Omar on The Making of Palestinian Resistance and a conversation with Louis Allday on the debut issue of Ebb Magazine he edited, entitled “For Palestine.” Also on Sunday the 21st we have a livestream with Shireen Al-Adeimi on Yemen. Make sure you subscribe to our YouTube channel to follow our work there. We are just winding down our Sylvia Wynter study group and a new study group will be launching in February so keep an eye out for that.  The best way to support the show, to stay updated on our study groups, follow any writings Josh or I may publish, and keep track of our work on both YouTube and our audio podcast feed is to become a patron of the show.

Shireen Al-Adeimi, Professor of Language and Literacy at Michigan State University, lays out the U.S., U.K., and Canada's role in perpetuating the brutal Saudi-led blockade of Yemen. She exposes Biden's continued military support of Saudi Arabia, despite the administration's pledge to only send defensive support, and calls into question the misleading dichotomy of “offensive” vs. “defensive” military support. Is a peace deal more likely now that the Houthi and Saudi representatives have met in Sana'a?

Guests: Michael Knights, a military historian, security analyst with the Washington Institute, and author of the book, "25 Days to Aden"; Shireen Al-Adeimi, Assistant Professor of Language and Literacy at Michigan State University, and Non-Resident Fellow in the Middle East program at the Washington-based Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.

This episode of Guerrilla History is a continuation of our Sanctions As War miniseries (get the book here).  In this critical episode, we bring on the wonderful Shireen Al-Adeimi to discuss the history and impact of the blockade on Yemen, and how this blockade is intimately tied to the geopolitics of the region.  Get the word out and share this with comrades involved in the anti-sanctions movement.

CODEPINK marks 4 years since Saudi Arabia dropped a bomb on a school bus in Dahyan, Yemen killing 40 children on their way to a field trip. We are joined by Dr. Shireen Al-Adeimi, Dr. Aisha Jumaan, Dr. Alberto Minujin, and Yemeni organizer Aseel Fara.

 Download Episode. Scott is joined by Shireen Al-Adeimi to discuss the war in Yemen. They talk about the War Powers Resolution in Congress and the Ramadan ceasefire, which is holding for now. Al-Adeimi points out that the Saudis dropping their support for former President Hadi was not actually a step towards peace. Instead, they turned to a “council” made up of rival warlords who appear destined to use violence in their disputes rather than diplomacy. But, she points out, the Saudis cannot exert any real control over Yemen without full military support from the United States. That defines a clear path for bringing this bloody period of foreign intervention in Yemen to an end.  Discussed on the show: “Truce or Not, Congress Must Urgently Bring About a Real End to the War on Yemen” (In These Times) 833-STOPWAR Use this script if you are not sure what to say Shireen Al-Adeimi is an assistant professor of Education at Michigan State.

We talk to MSU Professor and Yemeni Anti-War activist Shireen Al-Adeimi about the Saudi-led "peace process" which offers no peace while imperialism remains, America's continued participation in the war, the horrors of the ongoing blockade by Saudi Arabia, and more.

Yemen is not a rhetorical device. It's a country of human beings in crisis. The post Shireen Al-Adeimi on Yemen, David Arkush on Fed Climate Veto appeared first on FAIR.

This week, Roqayah and Kumars are joined by first-time guest Shireen Al-Adeimi and returning guest Ken Klippenstein for an in-depth discussion of the ongoing war in Yemen.   Shireen is an Assistant Professor at Michigan State University who has advocated for an end to the humanitarian catastrophe facing the country of her birth on Al Jazeera and in the pages of Current Affairs Magazine, Al Bawaba, and In These Times, and she has a new piece out on Business Insider called “Biden has merely rebranded the brutal war against Yemen”. Ken is a DC-based investigative reporter who has covered government misdeeds and corporate malfeasance for a wide array of publications and is now with The Intercept, where his latest scoop details the Biden administration's internal debate on reinstating Trump's terror designation for Ansarallah, more commonly known as the Houthis.   Shireen and Ken recap the history of how US and Saudi intervention in the Yemeni civil war created the world's worst humanitarian crisis, how Trump made the war his own, how Biden is following Trump's lead, the often overlooked role of the United Arab Emirates, and the way to end it.   Follow Shireen on Twitter @shireen818 and Ken @kenklippenstein.

In the waning hours of his presidency, Donald Trump issued an order designating the Houthis in Yemen as a terrorist organization; one of Joe Biden's first actions upon taking office was to reverse that designation. Now, under pressure from the United Arab Emirates, he may be having second thoughts. Intercept reporter Ken Klippenstein and Michigan State University assistant professor Shireen Al-Adeimi join Ryan Grim to discuss the potential consequences of restoring Trump's last-minute order.https://join.theintercept.com/donate/now See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Support Pushback at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/aaronmate As a 2020 candidate, Joe Biden vowed to "end the sale" of weapons to Saudi Arabia "murdering children" and other "innocent people" in Yemen. As president, Biden has continued US support for the Saudi-led war and pushed through new weapons sales. Last week, at least 90 Yemenis were killed in a Saudi attack using a Raytheon-made bomb. Shireen Al-Adeimi discusses Biden's Yemen betrayal and how Congressional opposition to the Saudi-led war has declined since he took office. Guest: Shireen Al-Adeimi, assistant professor of education at Michigan State University.

The U.S. continues to back the destructive bombing run by the Saudi government in the Yemen conflict. Yemeni civilians are experiencing the crisis on the ground and in the air, as well as the blockade that is leading to mass starvation, especially of children. Julia and Arun discuss the crisis and the ongoing crimes against humanity with Dr. Shireen Al-Adeimi, Aisha Jumaan, and Hassan El-Tayyab.

SHIREEN AL-ADEIMI explains that Joe Biden didn't end the war in Yemen. He's merely rebranded it. Shireen Al-Adeimi (https://twitter.com/shireen818) is an assistant professor of education at Michigan State University. Since 2015, she has played an active role in raising awareness about the Saudi-led war on her country of birth, Yemen, and works to encourage political action to end U.S. support.

If there's one well-known thing about the war in Yemen, it's that it's a humanitarian catastrophe. Its people are blockaded from the world and are suffering from famine, cholera, COVID-19, malnutrition, and a war that seems like it has no end. But so far little is said about the reasons the war has gone on so long, or about what motivated it to begin with, and what are the political forces driving it forward. Instead, most mainstream media coverage of the politics of Yemen is mediated through a dense network of security-minded analysts who mystify the dynamics underlying the war, and leave out the Yemeni people entirely. You can find endless analyses about the war in Yemen as either a proxy war between Saudi Arabia, the US and Iran, how it's a part of the never-ended War on Terror, and how it's really a sectarian conflict between Sunni and Shia. Little is said about what the people of Yemen want, and how these demands can be achieved. Their suffering is decontextualized and depoliticized, and they are depicted as helpless objects of despair amidst a raging conflict that is beyond their reach. My guest today is here to set the record straight. I'll be speaking with Shireen al-Adeimi, a Yemeni activist and Assistant Professor at Michigan State University. Together we'll debunk the myths surrounding the war in Yemen and highlight a foundational but rarely discussed dynamic that informs much of it. We'll hone in on how the conflict can be viewed as part of an ongoing adversarial relationship between the elites, who have organized themselves into governments and warring parties as a method to ensure their power remains in place, and the people, whose dream of a responsive political and economic system remains unfulfilled.

"Yemen war: Joe Biden ends support for operations in foreign policy reset," reports the BBC. "Trump: US will be out of Afghanistan by Christmas 2020," cheered Military Times. "Trump Orders Withdrawal of U.S. Troops From Northern Syria," the New York Times told us.   For decades, the United States has very often appeared to have "ended" wars that do not, in fact, end at all. Open-ended jargon like "residual counter terror forces," "Vietnamization," "military advisors," along with deliberately ambiguous timetables, process criticisms––all are used to confuse the average media consumer.   America's politicians know the American public broadly dislikes war and empire––and thus wants to see it restrained––but these same politicians don't really want to end wars so they have a frequent PR problem: How do you make it look like you’re ending a war or occupation without really doing so?   To solve this conundrum, American political leaders have perfected the art of fake-ending a war. Which is to say, announcing a war is going to end, typically around election time, only to––once the headlines make a big splash––backtrack, obfuscate, claim the "situation on the ground has changed" or the military involvement will only be in a "limited" or "defensive" capacity, shuffle troops around or find other thin pretexts to continue the war or occupation.   In this episode, we discuss the United States' history of fake-ending wars, who these pronouncements are meant to please, why troops levels are often impossible to know, and why so many of our so-called "wars" are not really wars at all, but military occupations that are never really meant to end.   Our guest is Shireen Al-Adeimi, assistant professor at Michigan State University.

Jon and Matt were joined by Dr. Shireen Al-Adeimi to discuss the history and recent updates in ongoing US, Saudi, and UAE war on Yemen. Dr. Al Adeimi is an assistant professor of education at Michigan State University. She also devotes much of her time to activism directed toward ending the genocidal war in Yemen. Her writing can be found at In These Times, and she has made many other media appearances on a variety of platforms including Democracy Now. Discussed in this Episode: -A brief overview of the war and the complicity of the United States - Trump's designation of the Houthis as a terrorist organization and the further human catastrophe that decision could cause - The hypocrisy of the US designating the Houthis a terrorist organization while having fought on the same side as al Qaeda in Yemen, Libya, and Syria - Shireen's recent article in In These Times about Biden's recent announcement about ending US involvement in this war, and why there is cause for both hope and skepticism - The double standards held by the US that allow Saudi Arabia to get away with (mass) murder - Accountability and the forms it could take - Shireen's outlook for the future of this crisis and lessons she has learned from her past 6 years of activism Donate to: Yemen Relief and Reconstruction Foundation Our Work: Read our "In the Context of Empire" blog with corresponding and expanded posts to this content!

Shireen Al-Adeimi, Yemen anti-war activist and professor at Michigan State University, discusses the many interests behind the war on Yemen, which have the potential of derailing Biden's announced ending of US support for the Saudi-led coalition in this war that has devastated one of the Middle East's poorest countries.

In his first significant foreign policy announcement since taking office, President Biden broke with both former presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama and declared an end to U.S. support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen. But it will take more than U.S. withdrawal to end the violence there. Rep. Ro Khanna, activist Shireen Al-Adeimi, and reporter Akbar Ahmed join Ryan Grim to discuss.

As we anticipate Israel's decision in regards to annexation and 4th of July protests in the United States, Ariel Gold joins in conversation with Shireen Al-Adeimi and Hassan El-Tayyab. Shireen Al-Adeimi is a Yemeni-American activist and educator that discusses the history of Yemen in regards to its politics and how an internal struggle led to the U.S.-Saudi intervention that has terrorized the country. Hassan El-Tayyab is a legislative manager for Middle East Policy at the Friends Committee on National Legislation that elaborates how Yemen is the world's worst humanitarian crisis and the pandemic has only worsened its situation with children suffering the most from malnutrition, disease, poverty, and more; even so, aid to Yemen has been drastically cut.

Joanne Leon returns to FPF to discuss the five year anniversary of the US/Saudi war on Yemen. The anniversary has received almost no media coverage in the midst of the coronavirus outbreak. Ironically, the five years of war in Yemen has created the world's worst humanitarian crisis - making Yemen one of the most likely to be devastated by a coronavirus. The US/Saudi/UAE/UK bombing campaign has intentionally targeted the civilian in fracture of Yemen. Now - before coronavirus even reaches Yemen - 24 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance and millions of children are at risk of starvation. Yemen must be remembered and the war must end.  Joanne Leon is the host of the Around the Empire podcast.  Links FPF #209 - Killing Yemen ATE #128 - Isa Blumi  ATE #132 - Shireen Al-Adeimi

Guest: Shireen Al-Adeimi. We discussed the recent attacks on Saudi oil facilities and the battle in Najran, near the Saudi-Yemen border. Shireen then lays out some history on the wars in recent decades in Yemen, both civil wars and foreign interventions, and offers important insights on how the Saudi-United Arab Emirates coalition backed by the US and other western powers, does not even have a coherent objective anymore. Further, the Saudis and Emiratis are fighting against each other in a proxy war. Lastly we talk about Samantha Power’s new memoir in which she omits any mention of the war in Yemen or her role in the Obama administration’s decision to support and sustain it.  “Shireen Al-Adeimi is an assistant professor of education at Michigan State University. Having lived through two civil wars in her country of birth, Yemen, she has played an active role in raising awareness about the U.S.-supported, Saudi-led war on Yemen since 2015. Through her work, she aims to encourage political action among fellow Americans to bring about an end to U.S. intervention in Yemen.” FOLLOW Shireen on Twitter @shireen818.

To discuss the crisis in Yemen, we were fortunate to speak with the brilliant Michigan State Professor Shireen Al-Adeimi (Twitter @shireen818). Shireen as a Yemeni immigrant (first to Canada, now in the US) has become one of the most forceful critics of the Saudi-led destruction of Yemen, and the Obama and Trudeau administrations role enabling this pointless carnage. I spoke with Shireen after reading her incredible article from IN THESE TIMES on Samantha Power, and listening to her interview on MSNBC's Chris Hayes. Incidentally, Mr Hayes, became a big part of this podcast ... because after expressing such concern and solidarity during an interview with Shireen, he conducted a later interview w. Samantha Power. Ms. Power is one of the main policy architects who helped drag Yemen into one of the world's worst humanitarian crises ... but during their interview, Chris, so eloquent in his knowledge on Yemen with Shireen is suddenly mute on the subject w. Ms Power. So while we discuss the Yemen conflict, we also discuss how elites (both liberals and conservatives) mold policy, KNOWING that they can avoid scrutiny from other elites. This is captured in the hypocrisy of political figures like Samantha Power and Justin Trudeau, but also in media figures like Chris Hayes, who refuse to ask the powerful any questions that expose their hypocrisy. Thus becoming hypocrites themselves. Yemen, like so many needless tragedies, is a conspiracy of silence, and the only way to break through is to do what Ms. Al-Ademi does: make some fucking noise! Here is Shireen's Writing on Yemen at In These Times: https://inthesetimes.com/community/profile/322961 Here is her wonderful interview on Yemen w. Chris Hayes: https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/detailing-america-s-role-world-s-worst-crisis-shireen-al-ncna906286 And here is Chris's boot-licking interview w. Samantha Power. I consider it to be a blight on his career, and a sickening example of how elitism and 1% politics work: https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/education-idealist-samantha-power-podcast-transcript-ncna1055331 Lastly for more on how self-serving, false and cold-blooded Samantha Power's memoir is, I highly recommend Jon Schwarz review at the Intercept: https://theintercept.com/2019/09/11/a-memoir-from-hell-samantha-power-will-do-anything-for-human-rights-unless-it-hurts-her-career/ (music credited to Ahmad Fathi - Salam احمد فتحي - سلام يا احباب قلبي )

In the lead up to the 2020 presidential election, two of the Obama administration's most consistently hawkish advisors, former Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes and former US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power have rebranded themselves as anti-war voices in a world turned upside down by Trump’s radical foreign policy and what we’ve been told is an global environment of rising "authoritarianism." With a perfunctory “we could have done more” gesture towards accountability for their role in an administration that turned Libya into a broken state and assisted the destruction of Yemen before they move on to positioning themselves as truth-tellers on behalf of a kinder, gentler machine gun hand in the run up to a potential Warren, Sanders or Harris administration, Rhodes and Power have tested the limits of liberal amnesia. On this episode, we take a closer look at their rebranding and what it says about the so-called “foreign policy” debate in the 2020 democratic primary and what actual accountability looks like beyond empty tweets and self-serving “I was trying to change things from the inside” revisionism. Our guest is Dr. Shireen Al-Adeimi of Michigan State University.

The United States Senate has voted to end support for the Saudi Arabian-led coalition's war in Yemen, bringing Congress one step closer to an unprecedented rebuke of DOnald Trump's foreign policy. But a maneuver by Trump supporters in the House who tacked on a measure condemning anti-semitism forced the bill to be reconsidered and delayed its final passage. Lawmakers have never before invoked the decades-old War Powers Resolution to stop a foreign conflict, but they are poised to do just that in the effort to cut off US support for a war that has triggered a humanitarian catastrophe. Shireen Al-Adeimi is an assistant professor of education at Michigan State University. She was born and raised inYemen. She says the bill was aimed at logistical and intelligence support of Saudi Arabia by the United States.

You asked, Chris answered! In our inaugural mailbag episode, we talk about the organizing power of county fairs, why members of Congress contradict each other on Yemen, whether there’s any hope for the Internet, and more. Can you guess which WITHpod revelation Chris thinks is the most shocking yet?

The United States Senate voted Wednesday afternoon to advance a resolution withdrawing all unauthorized U.S. military support for the Saudi-led war on Yemen, which has created, according to the UN, the world’s worst humanitarian catastrophe and killed more than 50,000 people. It’s the first time a majority in either chamber of Congress has endorsed a bill which calls for an end to U.S. involvement in the Yemen war, a war which would not be happening if it weren’t for U.S. involvement. Mehdi Hasan is joined by Senator Chris Murphy, one of the big drivers behind this resolution, Yemeni-Canadian activist and academic Shireen Al Adeimi, and The Intercept’s national security reporter Alex Emmons to discuss what the Senate’s vote means and the next steps forward.

Today on Sojourner Truth: Yet another mass shooting in the United States - this time, it occured not too far from Pacifica Radio's KPFK studios, in Thousand Oaks, California, at the Borderline Bar and Grill. This happened just last night, Wednesday, November 7. Media are reporting that 12 are dead. The shooter, Ian David Long, is dead. At least one of the people killed, Sgt. Ron Helus, was a first responder. Yesterday, Donald Trump fired Attorney General Jefferson Sessions amid Trump's concerns about his loyalty. You may recall that Trump has been very upset with Sessions for recusing himself from the Russia investigation. This move is seen by many as a way to undermine and undercut the Mueller investigation. So again, Trump interfering with that investigation and raising all kinds of questions related to ethics. The man he has named to temporarily replace Sessions, Matthew Whitaker, has been critical of the Mueller investigation. With all of that in mind, protests are being planned across the United States. It is predicted that 700-900 protests will happen, a lot of them at 5 p.m. today. Additionally, just yesterday, the Trump administration took on CNN journalist Jim Acosta and two Black women whom he derided in a White House press conference. That ended with Acosta's press pass to the White House being revoked. The journalists Trump has been after are journalists of color: Jim Acosta, who is Latino, and two Black women journalists. We speak with cultural critic and journalist Dr. Henry Giroux to discuss all of this. Also today, we return to the Saudi-led, U.S.-supported war in Yemen, which has left tens of thousands dead and is now the world's worst humanitarian crisis. Our guest is Dr. Shireen Al-Adeimi. And, for our weekly Earth Watch, we're joined by the co-director of Biofuel Watch, Rachel Smolker, to discuss the harms of biofuel and possible solutions.

With recent primary election wins by candidates like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, James Thompson, Julia Salazar and others, the terms “socialist” and “democratic socialist” are everywhere. Media outlets across the political spectrum - from The Washington Post andBusiness Insider to NPR and MSNBC to Jacobin - have rushed to publish explainer articles, demystifying the tenets of socialism and its variations for a mass American audience. But one thing missing from the bulk of these explainers – many of them written by high-profile Democratic Socialists themselves - is a robust account of foreign policy and the role America’s massive imperial footprint would play in any future Democratic Socialist America. Instead, descriptions of socialism stick primarily to domestic issues. Similarly, the wave of recent democratic socialist explainers are quick to distance their brand of Democratic Party-friendly socialism with the scary brand in the Global South, namely that of Venezuela. Highlighting instead the virtues of white-majority countries like Sweden and Denmark, many socialist whisperers dismiss out of hand the Bolivarian Revolution with the dreaded “authoritarian” label. In this episode, we discuss the pros and cons of this approach and how to know the difference between good faith critiques of socialist systems in the global south and quick and cheap fetishizing of Scandinavian countries – none of which have had to grapple with the complexities of colonialism. We are joined by two guests: Phyllis Bennis, Director of the New Internationalism Project at the Institute for Policy Studies and Shireen Al-Adeimi, assistant professor of education at Michigan State University.

The people of Yemen are experiencing the worst humanitarian crisis on the planet, according to the United Nations. They are devastated by a war that the United States supports. Why is the U.S. involved in a conflict that has left an estimated tens of thousands dead and millions more displaced? Why is the U.S. providing weapons to a coalition that launched an airstrike killing dozens of children? How did Yemen get to this point? Shireen Al-Adeimi has the answers for us, having worked tireless to raise awareness of the civil war in the country she calls home.Email us at WITHpod@Gmail.comTweet using #WITHpodRead more at nbcnews.com/whyisthishappening
