For starters, why was Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg, a former IDF soldier, accidentally included in the Signal chat on bombing Yemen? Are the war planners so chummy with this “reporter” that they accidentally looped him in? More importantly, what does Trump hope to accomplish by attacking Yemen? He vowed to “completely annihilate” Yemen.</p> <p>Isn’t it illegal for the executive to take military action without congressional authority?</p> <p>Yemen, an impoverished country of 35 million people, stands in solidarity with the Palestinian people, vowing to stop ships from navigating the Red Sea to transport weapons and fuel to Israel. US bombs can wreak havoc on Yemen’s residential neighborhoods but those bombs cannot erase the will of the Yemeni people to demand an end to US-Israel genocide.</p> <p>It’s all about Iran, according to the Trump White House, which claims Yemen is an Iranian proxy with no agency of its own. Even think tanks like the Brookings Institute and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) say this is not true–Iran is more a willing partner in wanting to end Israel’s genocide than a puppeteer manipulating Yemen.</p> <p>Join us for a discussion of Yemen and its role in the Palestinian resistance.</p> <p>Chat with peacemakers and experts<br /> <strong>Tuesday, Apr 1 at 5pm PT / 8 pm ET:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.codepink.org/cpc401?e=5f847672bc313d96a3a98660ce0ee425&utm_source=codepink&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=codepink_congress_4_1_invite&n=3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" src="https://ecp.yusercontent.com/mail?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.nationbuilder.com%2Fcodepink%2Fmailings%2F20680%2Fattachments%2Foriginal%2Fnewatiaf.png%3F1743198711&t=1743452528&ymreqid=d41d8cd9-8f00-b204-1cb2-f4239d014200&sig=uF9cbbqgwbiSUIyK6iwSRg--~D" alt="" width="100%" /></a></p> <div> <div class="yiv3692324746nb-tmce-btn yiv3692324746nb-btn"> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td align="center" valign="middle"><a href="https://www.codepink.org/cpc401?e=5f847672bc313d96a3a98660ce0ee425&utm_source=codepink&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=codepink_congress_4_1_invite&n=4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">RSVP now!</a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <h2><strong>Featured Guest:</strong></h2> <p><strong>Atiaf Al-Wazir</strong> taught Political Dialogue and Cross-Cultural Communication at Université Catholique de Lille in France; and Research Methodology at the Mediterranean School of Business (MSB) in Tunisia.
