On Wednesday, Iran's Foreign Ministry blasted Riyadh's "vindictive and inhumane" terror-bombing of Sanaa International Airport's runway - to block Iranian humanitarian aid from arriving.
Orders to do so came from Washington. A previous article said Obama wants Yemenis starved to death or dying from unavailable medical treatment for serious terror-bombing inflicted wounds.
A Saudi spokesman called Sanaa's runway inoperable. Brig. General Ahmed Asseri said Tehran's cargo plane didn't coordinate with Riyadh and ignored warnings to turn back.

There are no declared wars and no known initiatives to conflict management but the Arab Middle East is the theatre of absurdity – petty ideological rivalries, bloody authoritarianism enforcing daily sectarian warfare and unending brutality for the innocent people trying to escape the prevalent insanity. No carefully reasoned and politically verifiable analysis can predict how and where the entire Arab-Muslim region will escape from the amassed misfortunes. The emerging humanitarian expulsion of people has articulated a tangible challenge to few of the EU members. The Arab Middle East is a galvanized region, too dangerous to be ignored for the ultimate global consequences. Rationality begs to ask what are the Arabs-Muslim leaders fighting for and why?

With the usual fanfare and self-congratulating rhetoric, Israel last week celebrated the passage of 67 years since it was established in Palestine, with active support from colonialist western powers.
A passive observer watching the yearly rituals would probably get the impression that not only Palestine and its native people had never existed but that the very creation of the entire world coincided with the establishment of Israel.
The attempted obliteration of the Palestinian identity and narrative has long come to identify the collective Israeli ethos. Even simple names, which might remind new generations of days forgotten, or a history antithetical to the Zionist narrative, had to be obliterated and replaced with new names.

Hundreds of US combat troops are preparing Kiev's Nazi-infested National Guard, Azov battalion and likeminded extremist paramilitary groups for escalated aggressive war on Donbass.
Media scoundrels ignore what's ongoing. Fascist ruthlessness is called democratic governance, "free" Ukraine.
Nothing is reported on continuing low-level war on Donbass ahead of resuming it full-blown.
Novorossia Today explained "US-backed Nazi elements are integral to the continued illegal war against the East, and prominently in the future trajectory of the Ukrainian state."
Ukraine is Obama's war - using Kiev fascists to do his dirty work, by all available means without mercy.
"…US policy and media propaganda work hand-in-glove to inflame the situation in a country already on fire," Novorossia explains.

Obama's genocidal war against 25 million Yemenis continues without mercy. US-sponsored cold-blooded murder claims scores of lives daily.
Noncombatant men, women and children are harmed most. Endless conflict persists - now involving US/Saudi recruited, funded, armed, trained and directed takfiri terrorists.
Islamic State fighters posted a video online announcing their presence - threatening to "cut the throats" of Ansarullah Houthi rebels.
It showed about two dozen heavily armed IS fighters preparing for combat. Their commander planted a black flag in the ground saying "soldiers of the caliphate (have arrived to) to cut the throats" of the Houthis.
"We have come to Yemen, with men hungry for your blood to avenge the Sunnis and take back the land they have occupied," he said.

Clear evidence shows GMO foods and ingredients are inherently unsafe. Reliable independent studies prove it.
Claims otherwise are Big Lies. Scientifically conducted animal studies show major human health risks from GMO products - including infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, faulty insulin regulation, gastrointestinal abnormalities, and major organ changes.
Monsanto and other GMO producers spend millions of dollars burying hard evidence - including funding scientists, journalists and others on the take to lie for hard cash.
Americans don't know what they're eating. Labeling is prohibited.

Riyadh's so-called next phase replicates its initial phase. Rhetoric alone changed.
Terror-bombing continues. Civilians are most harmed. They're being slaughtered in cold blood.
Saudi-announced Operation Restoring Hope involves destroying it.
Osfam's Yemen representative Grant Pritchard said "(a)irstrikes are continuing over Taiz today. It is Yemen's third largest city."
"And there is fighting on the ground in many of the southern governorates. For example, Aden. They are still fighting there."
"Food insecurity figure has risen by approximately 2 million. So in the country there are about 12 million people that do not have enough food to eat."
"That equates to nearly just under 50 percent of the population."

Obama-authorized drone killings are cold-blooded murder by any standard - mostly affecting noncombatant civilians, innocent men, women and children in harm's way.
Former Obama White House press secretary Jay Carney lied calling drone strikes "precise, lawful and effective."
They're indiscriminate and lawless. They accomplish no geopolitical objectives. They arouse great public anger in targeted countries.
Days earlier, a drone strike killed a US and Italian hostage. A disingenuous White House press secretary statement said:
"It is with tremendous sorrow that we recently concluded that a US government counterterrorism operation in January killed two innocent hostages held by Al-Qaeda since 2011."
Obama's dishonest apology to surviving family members rang hollow. He lied saying "(b)ased on the intelligence that we had obtained at the time…we believed that this was an Al Qaeda compound, that no civilians were present…"

What do you call a nation going all-out to help desperate foreign nationals trapped in war zone hell: heroic and honorable by any standard! Led by a president and other officials valuing human life and welfare!
What do you call one refusing to help its own trapped nationals in a war of aggression it planned and implemented, using proxy killers to do its dirty work: guilty of the supreme high crime against peace! Disdainful of human life and welfare! A ruthless rogue state!
In early April, the State Department said "there are no plans for a US government-coordinated evacuation of US citizens at this time."

On the one hand, Andrei Illarionov of the Koch Brothers’ libertarian Cato Institute says that the first among "the crimes that have been committed or are being committed by the Kremlin — stealing Crimea” can be rectified only by rejecting "Russia’s aggression in Crimea,” which means to replace the current Russian government by "a free democratic state with the rule of law”: i.e., overthrowing it in order to establish that very thing, "a free democratic state with the rule of law.” He says that, "The issue of Crimea’s jurisdiction is within the competence of only one subject of international law — the owner of that territory, namely Ukraine. Only this subject, and no one else, has necessary legal rights to change this territory’s jurisdiction.” And, since Ukraine did not sell Crimea to Russia, Russia “stole” it from Ukraine. He sees the issue of Crimea as being not an issue of people, but of land: the land-area of Crimea, which Russia “stole” from Ukraine — that Russia stole the land and everything in it and under it and on it, including its residents.
