Slogan of the Houthi movement
The slogan of the Houthi movement (called Ansarallah officially), which is a Shiite Jihadist group in the country of Yemen says "God is Great, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse the Jews, Victory to Islam" on a vertical banner with a white background and green text for pro-Islam statements along with red text for the United States, Israel, and Jews. The slogan is modeled off of the motto of Iran during the 1979 Iranian Revolution.[1] The slogan was however made illegal by the government of Yemen (Saudi Arabia supported) and fierce crackdowns ensued causing the arrest of 600 people.[2] The slogan is also typically used alongside the flags of Palestine and Yemen to show their support to the Palestinian people.[3][4]
