Sometimes people have strong opinions on very complicated issues which they know nothing about. Sometimes people don't. I prefer the latter, and I'm not going to complain about anyone choosing it.
I've heard leftie complaints about Yemen, spiking in 2018 when a school bus was bombed by Saudi Arabia using American weapons. But you can easily find critiques dating back to the drone assassination of al-Awlaki back in 2011. If you spent any amount of time in the extended chapoverse over the past decade, you will hear plenty of mumbling accusations of American support for genocide in the region. The recent attacks in the Red Sea are one of the few times I've heard about an event in Yemen that without it being filtered through a twitter account with a Mao avatar.
I'm not saying that this commentary on Yemen is necessarily good - it might be more influenced by a Jim Carrey drawing than a real understanding of the region - but I'd guess a significant portion of the pro-Palestine protesters would have opinions on Yemen, even if their opinions aren't much more complex than "America Bad".
Good callout that leftists could not care less about the genocide in Yemen, Syria, Sudan, or anywhere else where they can't blame Israel.

Hi, Raúl Lopez here from Noticias Hispanicas de Greendale. Will this affect soccer?
It’s true. Then again no one has ever accused them of geopolitical awareness. Or proportionality.
It was all the deaths that went unreported, by so many " reputable " news organisations, and now the weather.......
That was really good.
They still have teach ins? Man the campus left is really out of ideas...
