The Sarkha () is the political slogan of the Houthis, a Zaydi-Shia revivalist political and military organization in Yemen, that reads "God is great, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse on the Jews, Victory to Islam" on a vertical banner of Arabic text. It is often printed on a white background, with the Islamic statements coloured green and the statements about the group's enemies appear in a red font resembling barbed wire.
== Design and symbolism == Modeled on a motto from revolutionary Iran, the Houthi slogan, called the Sarkha, is: "God is great, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse on the Jews, Victory to Islam."
