UNRAVELING THE U.S.–SAUDI TANGLE: LET’S FIGURE THIS OUT

What is the origin of this strange alliance between two countries that seemingly have very little in common?

Why, over a period of decades, has the United States supported a regime shown time and again to be one of the most powerful forces working against American interests?

Let CODEPINK’s Medea Benjamin be your guide to unraveling this massive, and deadly, conundrum.

With extremism spreading across the globe, a reduced U.S. need for Saudi oil, and a thawing of U.S. relations with Iran, the time is right for re-evaluation of our close ties with the Saudi regime.

In other CODEPINK news, protesters interrupted last week’s Republican National Convention with banners in support of refugees. Via Jezebel:

“We’re here to say we don’t like the language coming out of the RNC presumptive nominee’s campaign with regards to the anti-Muslim rhetoric and the anti-immigration rhetoric,” Code Pink demonstrator Toni Rozsahegyi told the Los Angeles Times on Sunday, July 17. The Times reported that many anti-Trump protests began during the weekend, preceding the convention’s kickoff.

Dressed as Lady Liberty to honor the labor of immigrants and refugees, Rozsahegyi explained, “our country was made on [their] backs, and we love refugees. They’re welcome here. And if we want to stop having refugees, we need to end war.” 1
