All of the world has to reveal the savage crimes against civilians in Yemen
Right on, Grannies for Peace! This grandpa is with you.
The US involvement in Yemen began under Obama. Where were the protests then? Where was the media then? Where was the anti-war movement when Obama took the US from two wars to seven wars? Why did they fall conspicuously silent during Obama’s entire two terms? It wouldn’t have anything to do with the anti-war movement being predominantly from the Left would it? They wouldn’t have given ‘their guy’, Noble ‘Peace’ Prize winner Obama a free pass would they? Now Trump is in office suddenly people are taking notice of Yemen. Sorry but your hypocritical partisanship has just been revealed in all its ‘gory’. – SHAME!!! Oh yeah and just how many $Millions did the Clinton Foundation receive from the Saudis while all of this was going on?
Real heroes, I am eternally thankful to co-exist with these gems!
Some very eloquent and intelligent people here. A great shame there aren’t more young people here protesting but my utmost respect to these beautiful people. Go support them America! Thank you for covering this and doing it well.
Good on them. If more people stood against the murder of people for money the world could change.
This guys are hero god blace
This is great. But there needs to be protests against Israel as well.
Americans, please pay attention to these people.
Peace & Love 😊💛
Thank you Real News for covering this. MSM has the budget to cover stories such as this, yet Yemen rarely is mentioned.
Fasting is about the worst thing one can to his/her body. The conscientious people of the world should spend their energy and life force by informing others instead of weakening/damaging their bodies.
Speak out loud!
Excellent. Stop the current co-opting of the longest stretch of conflict in history b4 banking broke out of the dark ages into the east, those who hold fast to the rubber band tips ( b4 they break, right?) the deep spread across the hemispheres, all, by these evil time bandits, continuing. Count on it. Vega$ for Venu$, literally, Brazil, by Terey Gilliam.
See Florida Maquis for this oversized continental divide, speaking of narcotics and confidence, bibi-in-brazil, etc.
I fast a day and eat a day since Syria's famine ..so I thank them,specially doing it in the cold..My country's politicians oppose it & so the ppl ..but I try to remind donating & do every [even if] little I can.
Thank you for your reminders
MBS Dislikes the video…
The idea of them fasting tells me they really care.
Thank you so much for this protest. The Yemen war must stop. Disgrace.
you never see the PEOPLE IN SUITS protesting how odd
These people are doing a great thing. Unfortunately, too many people in America are apathetic, even towards American kids who are suffering. No matter how long the protestors stay on the hunger strike, it won't be enough to make the majority of Americans care about what's happening. "It doesn't concern me. It's their country, let their government handle it." The American oligarchs are making too much profit from the wars. Until they're stopped, I don't think anything will change.
Islamic doctrine is inhumane, yemen also starves and kills children
you folks are the strong and the brave, above the average
Bless these people, bright & informed,
