The Saudis may have paused their bombing, but they are still committing genocide by deliberately depriving Yemenis of life support. – -Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor Press TV: The Saudi-led coalition has seized another Yemen-bound fuel ship in violation of the terms of a two-month truce brokered by the United Nations.

Ilhan Omar should be ashamed of herself for comparing Israel to Hamas: “Somali-born and Muslim American Democrat Congresswoman Ilhan Omar recently caused a storm by Tweeting ‘We must have the same level of accountability and justice for all victims of crimes against humanity. We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban. I asked @SecBlinken where people are supposed to go for justice.’ She was variously criticized by the Left and the Right for comparing the US and Israel with Hamas and the Taliban. “Leftists criticized Ilhan Omar for…
FULL ARTICLENatanz Sabotage: The War of Aggression on the Wrong Side of History
By Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor, for ICTD The Zionist entity has taken credit, and Iran’s government has agreed and blamed them, so we can be reasonably sure that Netanyahu’s team of gangsters was behind it. The Zionists have all but declared themselves Iran’s eternal arch-enemy, and have been attacking Iranian shipping and bombing Iran-friendly forces in Syria and Iraq, so this is just an escalation of the Israeli war of aggression against Iran. The Zionists are terrified by Iran’s success as an independent regional power dedicated to helping the Palestinians liberate the holy land. They understand that Zionism is…
FULL ARTICLEUS War Criminals Must Obey Iraqi Law and Leave Iraq!
The Iraqi parliament expelled all US forces more than a year ago. They were war criminals before, guilty of the supreme war crime of Aggression, and now they are doubly war criminals. Militarily resisting occupiers is the right thing to do under international law and universal morality and ethics. If the US were occupied, I would be obliged to resist that occupation militarily. Why should Iraqis behave differently?
FULL ARTICLEICC people should stay out of planes after Pompeo’s gangster style warning
By Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor interviewed by Press TV Mike Pompeo is warning that there will be consequences if the International Criminal Court (ICC) investigates Israel. It sounds like a gangster style warning. Warning about ‘consequences’ actually is often code for ‘we will kill you and your family’ among organized crime figures, and the people in politics who are basically organized crime types. A famous example is when Dick Cheney threatened that there would be the “most extreme consequences for yourself, and the state of Minnesota” to Paul Wellstone. He said if Paul Wellstone continued to pursue the path…

FULL ARTICLETrump Impeachment Exposes Rotten USA: Kevin Barrett interviewed by Radio Islam International
Donald Trump has committed enormous crimes. But the Democrats are helping him cover them up, and focusing on his relatively minor transgressions. The whole American system is rotten to the core. It has lost its spiritual grounding and has no regard for truth or justice.
FULL ARTICLETrump’s Shameless Murder of Soleimani Will Kill Thousands of US Troops — By Suicide
By Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor Each and every day, an average of 20 American veterans take their own lives. The standard diagnosis is PTSD. But that catch-all label conceals the deeper reality: The biggest single factor driving veteran depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, and suicide is shame. Veterans know that US attacks against Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Iran are unjust. They have seen, and in some cases participated in, horrifically immoral behavior. Invading someone else’s country is the supreme war crime, the worst crime that a human being can commit according to the Nuremburg Principles, and it encompasses and leads…
