Alarmed by reports of #Houthis arresting & assaulting #Jewish residents, forcing them to sell their homes, expropriating their properties and transferring ownership to Houthi leaders. Shocking if #YemeniteJews are unjustly being pressured to leave #Yemen. 1/5

We know #Houthis espouse virulent #antiSemitism & impose systematic #discrimination, #humanrights violations, and mistreatment. Media now reporting Houthis cutting off #water & #electricity to Jewish homes and preventing #Jews from purchasing #food. 2/5

It is repugnant enough that the #Houthis have exacted vicious crimes against their fellow Yemeni #Muslim citizens. To hear that #Houthis also victimizing #YemeniteJews is similarly reprehensible. 3/5

#Nazism was a horrible stain on #Europe. It cannot have another hateful strain now in #Arabia. The #Houthis must be compelled to make #peace in #Yemen and to end their intolerance #antisemitic rhetoric & conduct. 4/5

As an immediate step, we demand the #Houthis immediately clarify the situation and declare they will respect the rights of minorities in all territories under their control. #Jews and all minorities have a place in #Yemen, and for a better future we hope to build. 5/5
