\n\t\t\t\u201cHuman rights matter for the United States as rhetorical device to allow intervention in various countries\u2019 affairs,\u201d said Don DeBar, a political commentator and radio host in New York.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\u201cDoes the United States care about human rights? Certainly their alliance with the Saudis in an illegal war on Yemen indicates not,\u201d DeBar told Press TV on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tMen and women have no rights in Saudi Arabia and a small group in the country control everything, the analyst added.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAmnesty International has compiled a list of 100 ways the Trump administration has threatened human rights in the US and around the world.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tWashington has been providing military support for Saudi Arabia in the form of of mid-air refueling flights and targeting intelligence.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe US military has provided refueling services to some 10,400 aircraft in that region, according to data provided by military.com on October 9.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tBut in Congress, opposition to the US support for the Saudi war is growing. Lawmakers recently introduced a constitutional resolution to withdraw all US support for the war.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tHouse Representative Ro Khanna is working on a legislation to end the US military\u2019s involvement in the deadly aggression.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSpeaking to Democracy Now! in an interview published on Monday, the California Democrat said US military support for Riyadh had never been approved by lawmakers.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\u201cUnfortunately, we have been aiding Saudi Arabia. We have been fueling the Saudi\u2014refueling Saudi planes. We\u2019ve been assisting Saudi Arabia with targeting. And none of this has been approved by the United States Congress,\u201d said Khanna.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tWhile the US military started helping the Saudi-led conflict under command of then President Barack Obama, the cooperation grew dramatically larger under the administration of President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tTrump secured major arms deals with the oil-rich kingdom during a trip in May.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tLatest tallies show that the imposed war has so far killed over 12,000 Yemenis and wounded thousands more. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on the country’s facilities and infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools, and factories.<\/p>\n
