UN whistleblower Craig Mokhiber writes: “The U.S. is illegally bombing a poor country and slaughtering civilians in order to defend a genocide committed by an oppressive foreign regime and Democrats are more upset about the fact that the perpetrators leaked their Signal group chat about it.” Shireen Al-Adeimi writes: “With all the noise about the Signal leak, is anyone in Congress or the media concerned that actually bombing Yemeni people and Yemen’s infrastructure is unconstitutional? Anyone?”
The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, was the outlet for the leaks. He was a major conduit for false claims about alleged Iraq WMDs used to justify the 2003 invasion. He was also a guard in an Israeli prison long ciricized for abuse and torture. AntiWar.com reports: “U.S. airstrikes on Yemen killed at least 25 civilians and wounded 28 others in just the first week of the Trump administration’s renewed bombing campaign against the Houthis, according to the Yemen Data Project (YDP).
“The YDP released a report on Tuesday analyzing 38 strikes on Yemen the U.S. launched from March 15 to March 21 and found that 55 percent of the bombings hit non-military targets. The report said the U.S. attacks marked the heaviest and deadliest week of bombing in Yemen since the final months of the U.S.-backed Saudi-UAE air war on the country in early 2022.”
