Th US and Qatar bff.

"The White House said Thursday (9 November) that Israel had agreed to move forward with daily four-hour pauses of military operations in areas of northern Gaza. The move appeared to formalize a pattern of halting the violence to allow humanitarian aid to flow into the enclave and to allow civilians to flee away from the fighting. For the past several days, Israel has paused violence for hours-long windows where it allows civilians to evacuate south." CNN. So, 'humanitarian' aid for Hamas, while Hamas continues to torture kidnapped little Israeli children. But, then those children must be Jews, so who cares. "Authorities and civil society groups in many countries have reported a surge in antisemitism since the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on southern Israel and subsequent bombardment of the Gaza strip by the Israeli military." Reuters. "History is flashing warnings to the world. Outbursts of antisemitism have often been harbingers of societies in deep trouble and omens that extremism and violence are imminent." "Recent antisemitism is also a reflection of destructive forces tearing at American and Western European societies." CNN. Amid all this hand-wringing, "Three top leaders of Hamas alone have a staggering fortune of $11 billion, according to a report by New York Post. Ismail Haniyeh, Moussa Abu Marzuk and Khaleed Mashal have been maintaining their luxury lifestyle in Qatar." "Haniyeh and Mashal are worth $4 billion, and Marzuk is worth $3 billion. Hamas' annual turnover is $1 billion." "The report said all three leaders were seen frequenting diplomatic clubs and traveling in private jets." HT. In addition to Hamas, Qatar is known for supporting terrorist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood and Hezbollah, which caused Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt to sever relations with Qatar in 2017 and impose an economic blockade on the country from 2017 to 2021. wikipedia. Eight veterans of the Indian Navy have been sentenced to death in Qatar on charges of espionage. NDTV. "On August 30 last year, Qatar's intelligence agency picked up the men from their homes in the dead of night." "Since then they have been kept in solitary confinement, denied bail and now sentenced to death." ET. "India has filed an appeal with Qatar over death sentences handed to eight former Indian naval officers on unspecified charges." BBC. If Qatar can side with Iran and Turkey against its fellow Arab nations it can surely execute these Indians. Problem is that "Of the 19.85 million tonnes of LNG (liquified natural gas) imported by India in FY23, 10.74 million tonnes (54%) came from Qatar." civilsdaily. com. 700,000 Indians work in Qatar and repatriate precious foreign exchange every year. wikipedia. Amid all this depraved nastiness, "A number of news outlets have strongly rejected Israeli accusations that four freelance photographers they worked with in Gaza had prior knowledge of the Hamas attacks on 7 October." "Images filed by photographers a burning Israeli tank, Palestinians breaching a fence at the Kfar Aza kibbutz and scenes from the attack itself." BBC. Almost as if they were embedded with Hamas attackers, a practice started by the US Army in the 2003 Gulf War. Britannica. "Anything you can do (I can do better)." wikipedia. The US has an Air Force base in  Qatar. wikipedia. So, the US is protecting Hamas leaders while pretending to support Israel. Crypto-antisemitism?
