Kingdom of the Unjust: Behind the US-Saudi Connection
In her new book Medea Benjamin—cited by the L.A. Times as “one of the high-profile members of the peace movement”—shines a light on the US-Saudi relationship. Why, over a period of decades and across various presidential administrations, has the United States consistently supported a regime shown time and again to be one of the most powerful forces working against American interests? Saudi Arabia is perhaps the single most important source of funds for terrorists worldwide, promoting an extreme interpretation of Islam along with anti-Western sentiment, while brutally repressing non-violent dissidents at home.
