Leveraging the Suez Canal and Bab al-Mandab Straight
Houthi rebels in Yemen have attacked shipping going through the Bab al-Mandab Strait between Arabia and Africa, connecting the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean. The Suez Canal then connects the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, and the Israeli port city of Haifa. It is the most direct shipping route from Japan, China, and South Korea to Europe. Several shipping companies have rerouted their ships around Africa. This will increase the cost of trade between Europe and Asia and Israel and Asia. This could be used to divide the West, led by the Anglo-American Empire, from Israel and increase pressure on Israel to stop bombing Palestinians in Gaza.
Israel and Palestine have been at war ever since European Jews immigrated to Palestine to escape the Holocaust. Jews had been a minority in the region for 1,800 years because the Romans committed genocide in the 3rd century AD and because Jews became Christians. The Germans had sought to replace immigrants to Germany from the past 2,000 years with their pure race via the Holocaust, just like Jews replaced immigrants to Palestine from the past 2,000 years with their pure race, even though Palestinians are Semites too and the Philistines were there before Israel. Palestine means Land of the Philistines.
Since late November, Houthis in Yemen, have started attacking shipping companies that are trading with Israel.[1]
As published by Al Jazeera on December 9,[2]
“Yemen’s Houthi movement says it will target all ships heading to Israel, regardless of their nationality, and warned all international shipping companies against dealing with Israeli ports.
‘If Gaza does not receive the food and medicines it needs, all ships in the Red Sea bound for Israeli ports, regardless of their nationality, will become a target for our armed forces,’ the group’s spokesperson said in a statement on Saturday.”
Many shipping companies are not taking the risk that they won’t also be targeted, so several have started to reroute their shipping containers around the Cape of Good hope in South Africa, adding thousands of additional miles to the trip and cost for Israelis and Europeans.[3][4]
On top of making things more expensive in Israel, this will make life more expensive for Europeans, who could view support for Israel as not being in their best interest. Israel cannot fight a long with war with over a billion Muslims without the financial aid of the Anglo-American Empire. Europeans are already facing higher prices from EU and US sanctions against trade with Russia, including the destruction of the Nord Stream II pipeline. How much more can they stomach?[5][6]
Additionally, Egypt, a Western ally, will lose money as ships skip the Suez Canal. Egypt has the only non-Israeli border with Gaza, so they could put pressure on Israel to end the war by allowing arms and munitions to go across the border to kill Israelis if they don’t stop killing Palestinian civilians, like the Houthis want.[7]
The effect could be that the West, specifically the Anglo-American Empire, could withdraw from the region as the expensive wars lose popular support. The Anglo-American Empire has dominated the Middle East since the end of World War I (1914-1918), later becoming the sole power broker after the economic collapse of the Soviet Union and the start of the First Iraq War, both in 1991. As an example, both Israel and Saudi Arabia were created by the British Empire.[8]
Indeed, the Houthis had been at war with the British colony of Saudi Arabia for the past 7 years, coming to a tentative truce in late 2022 with ongoing peace talks. The Houthis are supported by Iran, who overthrew the Anglo-American puppet ruler, the Shah of Iran, Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi, in 1979. The Shah had been imposed on Iran by a British/CIA backed coup against their democracy in 1953.[9][10]
Basically, it has been a Iran, Shia Syria, and the Shia Houthis vs Sunni Saudi Arabia, Sunni Al Qaeda, Israel, and Anglo-America. That dynamic could be changing with BRICS.[11]
The BRICS nations could both open up the region to improved relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia and also encourage the replacement of the dollar in exchange for their oil, because Iran wouldn’t then be under the threat of invasion from an exhausted empire (Carter Doctrine) and Saudi Arabia would need an ally to replace the USA for their security. That would be the death of both the petro-dollar and the Anglo-American Empire that it finances.[12][13]
Ergo, the elites of the Empire will bankrupt the USA and the West to support their colony of Israel, and thus, their empire. Indeed, the US navy is en route to defend the shipping lanes from the Houthis. The Anglo-Americans won’t leave the region until we are bankrupted. Then, Israel will have to make peace with their history.[14]
