yemen, since march 2015, has been ruthlessly bombed.he poorest arab country has been destroyed by the richest arab country. and nobody has been able to properly criticize the saudis because they haven't essentially backed by the united states, rearmed by them, etc. the reason i put them together is there is international sensibility to support the palestinian cause. every time there is a bombing in gaza, there are demonstrations, there is heartfelt, i think, condemnation. but with this bombing in yemen, there's virtual silence. the very people that are out on the streets demanding that israel stop palming gaza need to be out on the streets demanding that saudi arabia stop this murderous war against yemen. juan: how do you see the failure of the arab spring to consolidate any kind of progressive left movement in any of the countries we have been talking about? why has it been so difficult? >> firstly, the question of it arab spring is a misnomer. this is really a spring in some arab countries. it is interesting that most of the countries
