“Kingdom of the Unjust” by US Activist, Unveiled

An antiwar US activist unveiled her latest book titled “Kingdom of Unjust” about the aggression and crimes committed by the Saudi Government.

Alwaght- An antiwar US activist unveiled her latest book titled “Kingdom of Unjust” about the aggressions and crimes committed by the Saudi Government.

Medea Benjamin is a peace activists and member of CODEPINK antiwar group who has recently been active in protests against the Saudi attacks in Yemen and its role in the 9/11 terrorist attacks against US in 2001.

About her 203 pages book, Benjamin said it is a struggle to inform people on why US government is this close to the Saudis, which she believes the closeness began after the Standard Oil California now known as “Chevron” got the license for oil exploration in eastern Saudi Arabia in 1933.

Although the US-Saudi relations began based on oil, Benjamin said, currently Riyadh only provides for 13% of the US oil consumption so why should the close relations continue?

Her answer was that $110b weapon purchase by the Kingdom means they are practically supporting US weapon industry.
