Arutz Sheva ^ | 17/9/26 | Yitz Goldberg

Posted on 09/17/2026 2:25:43 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi on Thursday denied claims that Yemeni forces had targeted Mecca, calling the allegation "the lie of the age" and "a great slander," and claimed that the "Zionist enemy" represented the true threat to Mecca and other Islamic holy sites.

"The real threat is the Zionist enemy, which seeks to target all Islamic holy sites, including Mecca, Medina, and Al-Aqsa Mosque," al-Houthi said. "We are ready to confront it as an Islamic alliance."

Addressing the allegations against Yemeni forces, al-Houthi said: "This is an exposed lie intended to conceal failure on the battlefield and to incite others."

Either the Houthis got sloppy and a missile accidentally entered Mecca air space, or the KSA decided to do a false flag to arouse patriotism, or...father, I cannot tell a lie...da Jooos! dood it.

Samson Option would take about five minutes, but comes with a huge sh!t-storm. No thanks.

This is why it is easy for Americans to support Israel.

Israel is the only civilized nation amid a sea of barbarians.

There is absolutely no reason for the Houthis to bomb Mecca. They're winning.

Israel has every reason to false-flag a Houthi attack on Mecca and pretend the Houthis did it.

Likely, but they just gotta blame da Jooos! “We got sloppy” would be a major face loss.

Israel doesn’t really care what the towel heads do amongst themselves. KSA, on the other hand, has every reason to false flag, because they can’t even take a sh!t right, on the battlefield. But I don’t think they did it. Their people hate them enough already.

The Israelis are not suicidal enough to attack Mecca.

Pardon my naivete, but aren’t missiles incoming to Mecca subject to trajectory tracking?

True, knowing where it was sent from won’t unfailingly tell you who sent it, but it’s a start.

Probably, assuming KSA or the Houthis want to know the truth. They have their own agendas and narratives, and won’t want those confused with facts.

And if you’re going to mess with Mecca, you would have to do a thorough job of it. When you want to do all out war, starting with a sissy slap or a noogy is not wize.

Really huge numbers of Muslims are in Indonesia which is not wahabbist. Indonesia’s form of Islam is much more sufiist which is is far far less violent. In fact Indonesia actively suppresses Middle East fanatics operating within it’s borders. It is also considering opening up diplomatic relations with Israel in addition to its current trade agreements. Attacking Mecca would align the most populated Muslim nation with Iran and against Israel. Not a smart move.

Indonesia is the kind of Islamic state we’d love to have as a neighbor. Hoky poky towards Mecca five times a day, no pig meat, fast on Ramadan, trip to Mecca once in lifetime, no wine or grape juice, male circumcision, it’s all good. And we’d leave them alone, and they’d leave us alone, and we won’t even saying anything about drinking camel p!ss, if that really is a requirement. Whatever.

Killing infidels, forcing Jews and Christians into dhimmetude, going apesh!t if anyone looks at one of their girls the wrong way, but everyone else’s girls are up for grabs, that’s where it hits the fan.
