I just read that PDF document; it's a cherry-picked, out-of-context mess. But the claim that the US government in 1756 alludes to the French and Indian War that the said government paid bounties on scalps. And thus a crime. Somebody must tell the Houthis that in 1756, the Colonies that would become the United States were crown colonies of the United Kingdom of Great Britain. Never mind what was happening on the high seas with the Babaray Pirates until the U.S. Navy, aka Department of the Boat People and the U.S. Marine Corps, ended it. The only reason there is a War in Gaza is that the elected government of Gaza decided that it was a good idea to go on a Murder, rape, and hostage-taking mission. When you go in the snow, expect to pay for the tow.

They probably don't have anything to worry about. If history is anything to go by, the Israel-Palestine war will start up again before too long.

It is guaranteed to start again as soon as Hamas thinks it can survive longer than a week. They said so.

I paused the video and read the quotes, several are fake, but sadly many are true. Just one example, although the gold for scraps quote is an exaggeration, bounties for Indian captives or their scalps appeared in the legislation of several English colonies during the Susquehannock War (1675–77). The New England Colonies also offered bounties to white settlers and Narragansett people in 1675 during King Philip's War. This took 2 seconds to find and another 10 seconds to verify. Soooo…

A hamhanded dismissal of all of these claims is a bit hypocritical
