A report published on Wednesday alleges that a video has emerged of Washington Post op-ed contributor Mohammad Ali al-Houthi chanting “death to America” while firing a rocket from his shoulder.

“The Washington Post contributor chanted: ‘Allah is the greatest. Death to America. Death to Israel. Curse the Jews. Victory to Islam,'” Conservative Review’s Jordan Schachtel reported. “He has also taken to his unverified but media– and think tank-cited Twitter account to repeat the infamous Houthi slogan.”

“Ali Shihabi, the founder of the Arabia Foundation, a Washington D.C.-based Middle East think tank, confirmed to Conservative Review that it is indeed al-Houthi in the video,” Conservative Review added. “Shihabi tells CR that it is ‘documentary evidence of the type of leader’ that the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen is up against, whom ‘many critics have ignored.'”

The editor of the op-ed was Karen Attiah, “a passionate advocate for the controversial slain Saudi activist Jamal Khashoggi, who in his last days worked as a de facto asset to the Qatari and Turkish regimes,” Schachtel writes.- READ MORE
