Antisemitism is integral to Yemen's Houthi culture. @HRW and @Amnesty have not said a word about it.

From an article in Yemen's Saba newspaper:

History tells us, throughout its various eras, that Jews are a people who cannot be trusted, and are not governed by principles, values, or ethics. They live in closed communities within global societies, conducting their lives according to their opportunistic methods of seizing opportunities and weaving intrigues and conspiracies within the societies in which they reside. This makes them disliked by these societies, and examples, both ancient and modern, illustrate this. For instance, their hostile reaction to the message of Muhammad in the Arabian Peninsula led to a military response against them by Muslims, and the same applies to modern times with Hitler's actions against them.

Now, Jews are digging their own graves in American and European societies, as they do not feel a sense of belonging to the human race and do not seek integration, falsely claiming superiority over other people. They also adopt a stance against anyone who criticizes them under the pretext of anti-Semitism.

The Houthi government is wedded to antisemitism, with "Curse the Jews" part of their motto.

But even though Human Rights Watach and Amnesty issue annual reports on all countries, they never mention Houthi antisemitism (HRW did offhandedly mentioned the chant based on the slogan in 2010 and in 2014. In neither case did it say anything negative about it. Neither HRW's and Amnesty's reporting of Houthi missiles to Israel mention the antisemitic angle.)

Compare this to the State Department annual report on all countries. In 2024, it said,

The Houthi movement regularly used antisemitic slogans. The Houthis’ anti-Israel rhetoric often blurred into antisemitic propaganda. The Houthis continued to propagate such materials and slogans throughout the year, including adding anti-Jewish slogans and rhetoric into the elementary education curriculum and books. Pan-Arab media outlets reported children in Houthi summer camps were instructed to shout the Houthi slogan, which includes “Death to Israel, curse the Jews.”

You almost have to go out of your way to not mention antisemitism in Yemen. Yet the two most important human rights organizations manage to do exactly that.
