The underwriters of James Zogby’s Kahlil Gibran Spirit of Humanity Awards Gala are the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia and Saudi Aramco. Zogby has a long standing relationship with the ignorant oil-princes of America’s client regimes in the Arab gulf states. Clearly, this support from the Saudi embassy is not unrelated to Zogby’s recent approval of the Saudi regime’s violent repression of peaceful protesters in “Saudi Arabia” or its US-supported role in the killing and repression of peaceful democracy protesters in Bahrain on behalf of its monarchist counterparts. With the Saudi regime’s repression of “Saudi” and Bahraini youth still ongoing Zogby invited Egyptian youth activist and blogger Wael Ghonim to his Saudi embassy-supported Gala to accept a “Special Recognition Award on behalf of youth of Arab Spring.”
