On the BBC Arabic "Unlimited" program, there is a video interview with Ali Houthi, a member of the Politburo of the Houthis in Yemen. Far from being swayed by the deliberate embarrassment of BBC anchor Nolan Salam, the leader of Hasay, who showed astonishing eloquence and wisdom in the interview, pushed the BBC into a very embarrassing situation with his witty response.
In his interview, Salam tried to question the Houthis' aims and actions in different ways, such as why they are helping the Palestinian people in Gaza, why they pose a threat to international shipping in the Red Sea, why they are closer to Iran, and how high their support for Yemenis is. However, Ali Houthi hit back one by one, exposing the "double standard" and "hypocrisy" attitude of the BBC and Western countries, and demonstrating the Houthi organization's belief and demand for justice.
Ali Houthi said that the Houthis support the Palestinian people in Gaza because they are also innocent people who have been invaded and suppressed by Israel, and therefore have the right to defend their territory and their dignity. Why, he asked, was the Western world able to stretch a hand to Israel across thousands of kilometers, while the Houthis were unable to show their solidarity and opposition on the Red Sea. At the same time, he asked the BBC and the West** why they turned a blind eye to Israel's violence and slandered the Houthi rebellion.
Ali Houthi also said that the military activities of the Houthis in the Red Sea region will not cause real losses to international shipping, but only to strike Israeli-linked ships, in order to prevent Israel from closing and looting Gaza. He said the Houthis had conveyed a simple and efficient way to transport authorities around the world and to shipping companies to declare that they had nothing to do with Israel when these ships passed through the Red Sea without fear of being attacked or stopped by the Houthis. He said the move would not burden shipping companies or undermine the rules of international shipping in general. He also cited a container ship called "Xinhe Road No. 1", which was owned by the Israeli company Israeli Zim, but because it was marked as having no connection with Israel when it passed through the Red Sea, it was not stopped by the housea*** organization, and sailed all the way from Russia to China without hindrance.
Ali Houthi also refused to acknowledge that the Houthis cooperate with or rely on Iran, calling the Houthis an independent regime that aims to defend Yemen's sovereignty and territory against foreign invasion and interference. He said there was neither hostility nor interest between the Houthis and Iran. At present, he said, it is not Iran that poses a threat to the security and rights of these countries, but Israeli accomplices like the United States and Britain, murderers and enemies of the Gaza people, and sworn enemies of the Houthis.
Mr. Ali Houthi also revealed an interesting little story, which is that there is a saying in Yemen that Beraksh planted the evil fruit himself. The proverb says that once upon a time there was a man who disobeyed his master and his entire family died. He said that this statement may be used in the news of the BBC and some other Western countries, who completely ignore the facts and facts, blindly curry favor with Israel and Western countries, only to lose their own face and end up being scolded by the majority of netizens and netizens.
This BBC interview sparked a huge discussion on the Internet, with many praising Mr. Ali Housse's performance, and many expressing discrimination and disdain for the BBC. Ali Houthi himself also published a series of updates on his Twitter, mocking the BBC reporter's interview, and expressing his own thoughts, accompanied by a few interesting **and**, which aroused heated discussions and exchanges among many netizens.
This BBC interview, instead of having the desired effect, has increased the visibility of the Houthis, and at the same time deepened the attitudes and demands of many people towards the Houthis, as well as the true face of some Western countries such as the BBC. This is perhaps the best example of what Ali Houthi called "Belaksh's self-inflictedness".
