As for Zain, he thinks Saudis are only doing what their friends in Tel Aviv advised them to do. They are only following friendly "orders".
How is Yemen important to Israel? Well, Zain thinks it’s not so much about Yemen as such but it’s really about the rise of a revolutionary idea. What is that idea? It’s this thing called "Hope". See, Yemen, like so many other Muslim countries, wants to change the normal thought that nothing can be changed, that the status quo must always be maintained, that powerful people must not be challenged, that politics is not the agenda for common people, but now the Houthi movement wants to challenge all that. Houthis want to say that Change is possible and it can happen. Common people can choose to dream differently, to think of changing the society and say bye bye to state hypocrisy. This is Zain’s understanding as a 12 year old.
Zain’s thoughts strike so much similarity with people across the Muslim world that its difficult to whether Zain comes from Saada or Baghdad or Damascus or Cairo. The basic rule seems to be quite common amongst the rulers of the Muslim world. They survive on the pill that makes Muslims loose hope in their identity, history and above all they give up on their natural abilities to change their circumstances.
Why should it be like this? Why should Muslims feel hopeless in their own country? Zain stares at the sky asking whether it was another Saudi jet that he just saw flying over a minaret.
