      It isn’t sarcastic. The aide orgs have been blaming the Houthi for stealing aide for the entirety of the conflict. KSA’s army has been preventing it from entering Yemen so the Houthi cannot steal more of it.

      Regardless the folks backing the Houthi are just uncritically mimicking old Iranian propaganda.

      It always seems a bit weird to me when people who’ve been forced into the worst kind of deprivation are the ones taking the blame for what that desperation has driven them to do, instead of the US and Saudi Arabia, who’ve purposefully created a situation where millions are starving.

      I don’t have specific-enough knowledge of Yemen to speak authoritatively, but I am well aware of the US involvement and what the partnership with the SA has done to these people in a general sense, so it feels like proper credit should be assigned here.
