US war on terror ‘worst war crime in human history’ (and other Press TV videos)
America’s so-called war on terror that began 17 years ago has killed millions of people, far greater than official estimates, amounting to a “holocaust” and one of the worst war crimes in human history, a US scholar says. The ongoing US military campaign was aimed at creating “endless wars” to destroy Muslim countries, contrary to Washington’s stated goal of fighting terrorism, said Kevin Barrett, an author, journalist and radio host with a PhD in Islamic and Arabic Studies. “Essentially what we’ve seen is a holocaust that’s off the charts, far beyond any World War ll holocaust that’s been covered up,”…
FULL ARTICLEU.S. senators demand end to Saudi nuclear talks
“Elect me and you’ll find out who really did 9/11,” Trump promised on the campaign trail. He then broadly hinted that the Saudis were the real culprits. Today, Trump is trying to hand the Saudis a nuclear weapons program. Why is Trump OK with allowing the world’s two most recklessly irresponsible regimes—Likud Israel and Bin Salman’s House of Saud—to possess or develop nuclear weapons? Shouldn’t the US goal be a nuclear-free Middle East? Is the Trump-Kushner tilt toward the Saudi-Likud axis of evil mainly about business interests? Are we letting small-time gangsters dictate policy…even if it risks World War III?…
FULL ARTICLEArbaeen: The world’s biggest event
By Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor Today is Arbaeen, the annual commemoration of the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the Prophet Muhammad’s grandson. During the past decade an estimated twenty to thirty million people (with outlier estimates closer to fifty million) have been making the pilgrimage to Karbala each year. Wikipedia’s list of “largest peaceful gatherings” is dominated by recent Arbaeen pilgrimages. It seems rather miraculous that Iraq—the nation most devastated by the 9/11-triggered Zionist-incited scorched-earth operations—should be hosting a pilgrimage five to ten times as big as the much better known canonical Muslim Pilgrimage, the Hajj. The Saudis, with all…

FULL ARTICLEWhy Western media silent on Ahvaz terrorist attack
Press TV interview with Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor The mainstream Western media have been mostly silent about the deadly US-sponsored terrorist attack in the Iranian city of Ahvaz, according to US scholar and political analyst Kevin Barrett. “Innocent people being killed by terrorists is front page news in the West; but, in the case of terrorism against Iran, suddenly, everything changes and the media tends to ignore and downplay it,” Barrett told Press TV in an interview on Saturday. Barrett sees the attack as another terrorist operation launched by the United States and its regional allies. “There have been close to 20,000 people…

FULL ARTICLESaudi Arabia enjoys US, Israel backing on Yemen atrocities: Expert
Press TV The United Nations is incapable of pressuring Saudi Arabia to end its military aggression on Yemen as the kingdom has the the support from the United States and Israel, says an analyst. “The UN is more or less being dragged into this, telling a little bit of truth about the horrific massacres that have been going on in Yemen,” Kevin Barrett, American scholar and author, told Press TV in an interview on Thursday. “This country has essentially been decimated by Saudi bombing of civilian infrastructure designed to punish the population for essentially wanting to stay independent.” “This war…
