Peace activist Medea Benjamin of CODEPINK discusses with Ben Norton how US support for the Saudi monarchy must be fundamentally challenged. Some American officials want a cosmetic change, simply replacing Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, but the problem runs much deeper.

We need to do away with any relationship with Mr. Bone Saw & Saudi Arabia
Love Medea, her protests are legendary, I am appalled the main stream media ignore her.
Looks like the wrong country got bombed back in 2003. The US has been up for sale ever to foreign governments since the 80s. Have to wait this out a bit more, not too sure it was the prince who killed Kellogg … you have always look who benefits from the event, it certainly did benefit the prince, and its way to easy to call someone crazy … also, you have to be suspicious if the CIA and Brennan concur on the event, do you want to buy Brennan's goods? not me
Ben Norton: one of the most noteworthy truth tellers of our time!
The real problem is the dominance of Zionists over the USA.
This Jewish Dynasty (Saudi Arabia) has been committing such brutal atrocities ever since 1163 A.D. They have named the whole Arabian Peninsula after their family name (Saudi Arabia) as if the whole region is their own personal real estate, and that all other inhabitants are their mere servants or slaves, working and toiiling day and night for the pleasure of their masters (The Jewish Saudi Family.)
The saudis are completely holding the natural wealth of the country as their own property. If any poor person from the common people raises his/her voice complaining against any of the despotic rules of this Jewish Dynasty, the Dynasty cuts off his/her head in the public square to maintain the TERROR. A princess of theirs once visited Florida, USA, with her retinue; she rented 90 (ninety) Suite rooms in a Grand Hotel for about One Million dollars a night! Can anyone of her subjects comment about that extravagant event? If he/she does, his/her fate is quite known: DEATH WITH THE EDGE OF THE SAUDI SWORD IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE!!!!!
In the 1960’s the “Sawt al Arab ” Broadcasting Station in Cairo, Egypt, and the Yemen Broadcasting Station in Sana’a confirmed the Jewish ancestry of the Saudi family.
Wahabism is the movement of destroying Islam from within. It must be stopped and wiped out from the face of the earth. Indonesia strongly opposes this ideology. Thanks for NU and Muhammadiyah for resisting the wahabism movement in Indonesia. HTI and other wahabi funded organisations are gradually banned in Indonesia
The problem is not Imam wahab the problem is the family politic of Saudi royal family……… Mecca and Medina suppose to be an autonomous state like Vatican…… USA is the problem they support the puppet member of the family.
This video is ruling class propaganda. It's clear from the video that the American Ruling Class fears losing the petrol-dollar. This is why they slander the Saudis with claim they're responsible for 911. It keeps invasion on the table. The fact that Medea Benjamin promotes this lie shows what she truly is. She is some kind of deep cover agent working an American intelligence agency. The truth is that Russia did 911. The attacks of 911 were Russian revenge for the Kursk, the American instigated war in the Caucus Region and multiple attempts on Putin's life.

I really miss Aaron Mate.
Great interview. Really good pace, energy, and information.
The blood is on their hands, the future is in our hands.
Medea Benjamin is a true hero and patriot
Notice how the corporate media, refer to the "Saudi-led coalition" bombing Yemen, ( when they DO talk about that!) .
I don't buy it. I think it is the EMPIRE, the U.S., that is in control, using the Saudis to help eliminate Iran's allies, before retaking Iran.
Brookings has a paper,
"Which Path to Persia".
Read between the lines, beginning with that title.
Who would flag this down? Only wahhabis or zionistas
Wow. It is unbelievable that she still talks about 911 as if SA has orchestrated the whole event. It is very weird though. SA has no plans or whatsoever to attack other countries in the past and the present. So these are mere accusations.
Medea Benjamin always seems to fade away when there's a Democrat in the White House.
the neocons scour the world for proxies and will take on anyone willing to do the dirty work for them
Saudi Arabia people men and women are happy with their royal family And in this country we didn’t see any strikes and any riots because the people over there are happy so i hope all people are happy as them
The response of the US to the OPEC created [sic] oil crisis of the 1970's was to nurture fundamentalism in the middle east giving rise to the Saudi and other fiefdoms, reversed the social progress of ancient cultures in the region and backfired in the case of Iran which resorted to Islamism to regain it's own autonomy.
Is it any wonder that flat earthers think the way they do since US foreign policy is to steamroll the world and pay oppressive rulers for whatever oozes out?
MBS is a dumb fail-son that's why he's so close with Kushner and other fail-sons across the world. Birds of a feather flock together.
It took a weird superstitious event with a prince–that orb-touching–to elicit a smile from Melania, she's so third world

Conspiracy
The anti terror ally excuse is a just a silly cover to make them palatable to conservatives.
We should have invaded Saudi Arabia over Iraq. We’d likely have actually been accepted as we could have freed a people from oppression. Instead, we invaded a sovereign nation for its oil. Sad
A real petty way to look at something this big … It Just show how ignorant and shallow you are … talking about something you don't even understand is just a huge sign not to listen to you … It's clear that you have no shame showing your ignorance and the only thing that worse than you is the comments of those who feel like I have to share my opinion even if I know nothing about what I'm saying .. shame on you
The TRUTH IS is that the GW Bush Admin made the PAC with the Saudi's to BOMB America to create 9/11 and the AMERICAN PEOPLE ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN! Why weren't WE ON THE STREETS DEFYING the GW BUSH ADMINISTRATION? and the American People have the nerve to wonder WHY & HOW WE GOT TRUMP? It became this BAD with GW Bush and KARL ROVE & DICK CHENEY! AMERICA HAS BEEN IN THE SWAMP SINCE GW BUSH! For all Trump is doing is taking adavatage for PAYING TO PLAY! TO BOTH PARTIES, DEMOCRAT'S & REPUBLICANS! Trumps PAY TO PLAY has paid off HANDSOMELY, because he is NOW PRESIDENT! Now, what does the CLINTON'S have to say about this?
I love Iran 😁👽😇❤🦁
MBS must go!
Medea has more knowledge than most of our politicians. Thanks for showing this to all.
Medea is a national treasure.
17.15 was very informative.
THIS WOMAN !!!!!!! I saw her charge the stage and they could not stop her!! SHe's a HEROINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Little Sprite !! I love her !!!
my favourite channel 🤩🤩
Islam is good, wahabism is the evil? Is this the new retric? Its nothing to do with evil regime that brutally rules a oil rich nation? And its parter is conveniently turning bild eye!!!! Its whabism!!! Not to with greed!!! Not to with power hunger!!!
She's one of the real heroes!
I feel bad about this guy Jamal Khashoggi. If we, as Americans, really want to feel bad about a political murder then the place to start is with our own political murders. We may begin by demanding truth and justice for our own victims. No better place to start would be with JFK, MLK, and RFK. Mourn them and bring the remaining perpetrators to justice. The perps would include the political apparatus and their henchmen. Next in line we should include the dead and wounded crewmen of the USS Liberty and the whitewash that followed. We have so much evil in our own back yard to clean up. The clean up should highlight the US intelligence agencies that none of us voted for but yet are more powerful every day than our elected officials who are all bought and paid for. It has been said that if voting mattered they wouldn't let you do it.
Lmao…. American politicians think they can easily replace MBS… Apparently they have no clue how muslims work 😹 no matter what the circumstances, a muslim will always trust his fellow muslim rather than trump or netanyahu… Those who think they're smart by rejecting Saudis money are the dumbest people on earth they have absolutely no idea how fucked us economy is or they want a civil war in the us like what may happen in Europe now
When Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, commonly referred to as “the Shah,” governed Iran from 1953 through 1979 was a great friend of USA and Saudi Arabia although Iranian is 90% Shia Muslims more than ten centuries before.
When the Americans lost their interest in Iran (1979), the conflict start between Shia and Sunny that lead to the actual Yemen disaster.
It's just oil/gas/pipelines profits for the oligarchy and the people pay that by their lives and taxes
Lol really? Is that the only country?
S Arabia has hundreds of thousands of forced slave laborers most;ly from other countries looking for jobs.
Wait till they realize the Saudi complicity in 9/11…
That was a cheap shot, Medea. The millions of $ that went into
the Clinton Foundation went for
Charity. You can't prove that any
part of that money went into a
Clinton private bank account.
I guess you're one of the Hillary
haters, and you're happy that
Trump won instead.
We wouldn't be in this mess if
Hillary had won.
