American dissident and media activist Jackson Hinkle praised the exceptional welcome and hospitality he received in Yemen.
Speaking at the conclusion of the Third International Conference “Palestine: The Central Cause of the Nation,” Hinkle stated: “I have never had in my life hospitality as warm as what I experienced in Yemen, which deeply moved me—especially after my own country’s blatant aggression against Yemen.”
He described Yemenis as “the most humane and humble people,” expressing gratitude for their generous hospitality.
Addressing the USS Truman aircraft carrier and all its personnel, the American activist delivered a message: “To every individual aboard this carrier that wages war against God: You will be defeated and you will not be successful.”
He emphasized that “no one, regardless of their power, can wage war against God and prevail,” expressing bewilderment at the hostile actions of US soldiers on the aircraft carrier and elsewhere against the Yemeni and Palestinian peoples, “without considering their accountability in the Hereafter.”
“The leaders ordering these crimes,” he added, “care nothing for the Yemeni or Palestinian people—their sole priority is money. They label Yemen’s resistance fighters as ‘terrorists,’ when in truth they defend the oppressed.”
Hinkle noted that while America claims to be “the land of the free,” the reality is different: “The true free people of the world are in this very room.”
He declared that true freedom fighters are the people of Palestine, Lebanon, Gaza, the West Bank, and Yemen—the axis of resistance confronting the Zionist project. “You are the world’s real free people,” he said, “because your actions are driven not by financial interests, but by the pursuit of life, justice, and rights for all.”
The activist criticized Arab leaders as “Arab Zionists who serve American and Zionist interests, not the Arab world,” asserting that “the real leaders are in Yemen.”
He urged Arab populations to “embody Yemeni courage,” overthrow their Zionist-subservient regimes, and adopt the resistance model.
Hinkle commended Yemenis for risking their lives to defend Palestine—particularly through blockading Israeli ships in the Red and Arabian Seas and targeting Ben Gurion Airport—”inflicting pain on America and Israel equal to what they inflict.”
