The number of Yemeni civilians killed in Saudi bombing raids is very high. Innocent people are being killed while most countries in the world remain silent. The poorest country in the Arab world, Yemen is now being starved and its refugees are prevented from receiving humanitarian aid, with sectarianism used as a criterion. What is wrong with the Muslims; why don’t they raise their voices against these crimes against humanity? What moral authority would Muslims have to protest Zionist atrocities against our Palestinian brothers and sisters if so-called Muslim rulers indulge in such crimes?
