Bahrain regime seeks to kidnap and torture soccer star Hakeem al-Araibi

Kevin Barrett

The morning after the Super Bore, South African station Radio Islam International called me to ask about football. But not the Patriots-Rams snorefest! Instead, they wanted an opinion on the Bahraini regime’s attempt to recapture and re-torture footballer (soccer player) Hakeem al-Araibi. His crime: speaking out against the regime back in 2011. Middle Eastern “football” is even more politically charged than the American “stand for the anthem or else” game.  Underdog Qatar’s dazzling victory in the Asia cup a few days ago smeared egg all over the faces of the tyrants ruling Saudi Arabia and the UAE, whose blockade (an…

Muhammad Ali Carter and Marwa Osman: Bahrain at the heart of Middle East crisis

Kevin Barrett

Broadcast here June 12th, 11 to noon Eastern then archived. For less than a dollar a week you can subscribe…and listen to this show RIGHT NOW!  Both of today’s guests argue that the ongoing uproar around the Persian Gulf – notably Saudi Arabia’s  “act of war” blockade against Qatar, and its proxy terrorist attack in Tehran – has much to do with the struggle for Bahrain, where the Shia-majority population wants to overthrow the Saudi-backed al-Khalifa dictatorship in favor of democracy. (Bahrain is an island off Saudi Arabia’s Shia-majority east, where most of the oil happens to be located.) Are the Saudis freaking out because their…

Will Israel merge with Saudi Arabia?

Kevin Barrett

Press TV   On February 1st, 1958, Egypt and Syria merged to become one country: The United Arab Republic. Though the brief political marriage ended in divorce on September 28th, 1961, it set a precedent for potential future Middle Eastern liaisons. Today, a budding romance between Israel and Saudi Arabia is the talk of the Middle East. The Saudis and Israelis are working together to destabilize Syria and prop up the al-Sisi regime in Egypt. The Saudis and Israelis both strongly oppose letting the “Arab spring” bring democracy to the Middle East. The Saudis and Israelis both want corrupt Arab…

Kevin Barrett

http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2013/10/05/327689/west-fuels-sectarian-tensions-in-me/ Press TV has conducted an interview with Kevin Barrett, co-founder of the Muslim-Christian-Jewish Alliance, from Madison, to shed light on the US recent remarks at the UN General Assembly, calling Bahraini popular uprising “a sectarian one.” What follows is an approximate transcription of the interview.

The loopiest Zionist flack I have ever debated

Kevin Barrett

I once thought Kenneth “you should be permanently removed from all media outlets everywhere in the world” Katzman was the nuttiest TV Zionist I would ever face. And then I met Stewart Stogel. Stewart Stogel is a walking, talking mishmash of non-sequiturs When I heard that my opponent on Press TV’s The Debate works for Newsmax, I realized that he probably wasn’t the brightest filament in the pack of journalistic flashbulbs. Even so, his idiocy far exceeded my expectations. I’ve debated a lot of goofy characters, but this guy takes the cake. Compared to him, Hannity and O’Reilly almost look…

Kevin Barrett

My interview with Press TV on Bahrain, where hunger-striking freedom and democracy activist Abdulhadi al-Khawaja is becoming an icon of resistance, is now up: ‘US strikingly hypocritical towards Bahraini hunger striker’  WATCH VIDEO The US behavior towards Bahraini hunger striker Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, a “classic nonviolence and pro-democracy activist,” is a clear example of the US hypocrisy on rights issues, an analyst tells Press TV. The comment comes as the prominent Bahraini human rights activist’s health remains at risk as he enters the 57th day of his hunger strike in jail. Khawaja was transferred to the prison hospital on April 3…
