I have long been wondering about Qatar’s willingness to host Hamas’ leadership post-10/7.
As non-Western as Qatar is, the Emirate has been working assiduously to court Western approval and is hardly a radical Islamist state. This is not to suggest the regime is liberal or Liberal, but rather that they aren’t exactly Iranian-style fanatics. The state is pretty much what you would expect in a country that is in a dangerous region filled with radicals but with an elite who are Western-educated and resolutely capitalist.
I had long suspected that Western governments had given implicit approval for Qatar’s hosting of the radical Islamist terrorist group’s leaders in order to use it as a back-channel to Hamas.
Maybe the US thought the Qatar/Hamas relationship would yield the release of the hostages. But it’s been more than five months and 134 Israelis are still held in Gaza. It’s time for Qatar — and Turkey — to stop harboring Hamas’s top terrorists.https://t.co/yjYw9M5N9s

That this story leaked is likely due to Qatar’s frustration with the enduring criticism it has suffered since 10/7. The country has been accused of coddling Hamas’ leaders–and no doubt it sure looks that way–and given the country’s obvious efforts to court Westerners, it surely rankled.

There’s so much violence and intrigue in building a gas pipeline from Qatar to Europe. Good thing the CIA and the Clintons are keeping us safe.

I don’t understand a lot, but I really don’t understand Democrat foreign policy.
Up here in Frozenturdistan its obviously a case of broad ignorance and base immorality.
But the Americans clearly know that Hamas, Hezbollah and the Teheran Mullahs are black-hearted animals who need to be executed along with everyone who shares their DNA or view of the world.
The Russians and Chicoms would shrug and so would the majority of the Arab world. Meanwhile several million Persians would be freed.
I see no profit or gain in any way, shape or form, but as GYM writes, I’m a bluddy idiot.
Dear Buddy,
the Progressive mindset\religion states that one must always side with the downtrodden, and the victims in any situation. And generally speaking, that is a good mindset. Except when it goes too far, and people start competing to be seen as the underdog, when they really are anything but. Hand in glove with that, is the belief that the downtrodden can do no wrong, and never has any choice but to rebel, fight back, steal, steal big screen TVs, steal luxury cars. You see, society pushed them to steal the Porsche 911. I mean, they had to eat, right? And the upper echelons of society must be held responsible. The proles have no responsibility for their actions, and the rich have infinite responsibility for the actions of the proles.
When you see it, it explains everything.
Every MSM news story was initially about the Oct 7 massacre. And people understood that was evil sh^t. But every week, the MSM slowly paints the picture that Hamas is the victim, Palestinians are the victim. Because … reasons.
The progressives in the US administration, in Harvard, in MIT, are simply following their holy book(s). It is written. Claudine Gay is just the tip of the iceberg.

Your post reads like the bible pounding of my youth.
GYYM… I think you should rephrase that to “Qu’ran pounding.” See how far you’ll get when you start pounding that religion instead of the God’s honest truth.
Just my opinion and worth every penny you paid for it, but I think our beloved Cee Aye YAY! thinks they are playing (and paying) Iran as their useful idiots. The TLAs might be in for a surprise.
They certainly are taking their sweet f’ing time.
Buddy: I share your confusion as to why the Democrats have been going to great lengths to give the Iranian mullahs billions of dollars. It doesn’t seem to make sense when the U.S. is an important ally of Saudi Arabia – a mortal enemy of Iran – and the Saudis are one of the largest buyers of U.S. military equipment. Further, there is large Iranian community in the U.S., which is well educated and prosperous. They overwhelmingly loath the mullahs’ despotic control of their families and friends still trapped in Iran.
SDAers: can you help use understand the Democrats love of Iran?
“Death to America” seems to be the thread holding them together
Yup. You got it.
Exactly.
They believe they can bring Iran back to pre-1979. US had it’s chance to support the people of Iran, The WORST. PRESIDENT. EVER. punted, better to support the anti-Russian Ukrainians. Since Obama, it appears to me that the Democrat position on anything, domestic, foreign or financial is to do the opposite of whatever position a conservative or libertarian would take. Ruling by spite.

I honestly think the Democrats are as screwed up as Eastern Canada/ BC ( + EBY)’s Liberals!
but as GYM writes, I’m a bluddy idiot.

“I see no profit or gain.”
Buddy
I see profit and gain, but not for us.
The blob has been secretly working with people and entities that most of us consider to be PsOS including the Mafia, Mexican cartels and foreign political enemies like Iran, China, everybody for decades.
The Blob may have initiated first contact by bribing and blackmailing the POS’s
However, once the Blob layed down with dogs, the Blob became vulnerable to being corrupted by kick-back money under the second table and or blackmailed themselves.
Iran or China says – “Now it’s time for you to do what we say or we’ll tell everybody about that thing we did for you or the bribe you gave to us.”
@Buddy: Change your lens. Once you see the situation for what it is — that the current administration is actively seeking to destroy the U.S. from within, suddenly, everything that has happened in the last 3 to 4 years makes sense.
It’s so freaking obvious. I weep for those who don’t see it.

The profit is simple. The military/industrial/CIA complex keeps the pot boiling, and they fund both sides of many conflicts to keep arms sales up. $2,000,000 missiles? They are like Arrivecan over and over.

Everyone missed that Qatar offered up to eject Hamas leadership after the attack, and the US seems to have said no…

Not everyone.
Obama’s foreign policy was to fundamentally transform US relations with allies and belligerents, a legacy which appears wholly chaotic because it is, the only common thread being his hated of the West.
Give back the hostages and surrender to not get killed.
Easy peasy.
Sea eye eh and em eye six funded the ISIS
CIA and MI6 for the bluddies in here.
I think we all got it, “GYYM.”
Another question is why the US is coddling Israel when it’s committing war crimes as an apartheid, colonial state. Well I mean the answer is quite obvious, they would have to walk back centuries of terrible foreign policy that’s led to the genocides of millions of people. I say we all just stop suckling the nuts of the elite class, call out injustice where it is and by all legal and international standards, hamas is a resistance group as it resides within occupied land. Stop with the western exceptionalism and interventionism, ya sound like all the elites you claim to hate.
Please demonstrate Israel’s apartheid and Palestine’s warm embrace diversity, equity and inclusivity.
Please go back to clown world.
Hamas is a death cult, they have no interest in peace of any kind. Their leaders are all billionaires, no one’s hands are clean, at the end of the day they are all just greed driven. I guarantee you I could live well the rest of my days on the drug, booze and hooker bill for just one of those Hamas “resistors”
Feck off you antisemitic nazi arsehole. People of your sort need to be scragged.
DL, OR Dinky licker is your moniker. You have nothing to say and much to learn, grass smoker.
second part of I see profit and gain
I believe ALL gubmint is largely staffed by unimaginative, people that are good at following orders and they found out it’s easier and more personally enriching to take silver instead of lead. After decades of this The Blob itself is now a giant self driven greedy monster surgically attached to every vile entity and now running amok.
It doesn’t do what’s good for us but works for only the Blob’s survival and growth? The players involved all get rich and can’t whistleblow with receipts because they’ll be Epsteined or worse.
It fears Trump will expose it.
Well … I’m reassured that the First Dude’s homely, awkward, daughter is raising money for Hamas.

Yeah, America is the best of hands. Now DIE Christians and Jews … DIEEEE!!! BTW … how’s her modeling career going?
Probably doing mostly on her knees poses, just like her momma.
Great! Good for her! Maybe she can head out across the Atlantic on a relief mission to Palestine with Captain Sean Penn and his boat.

thieves of the very lowest order, scum bags below reproach. gutter garbage.
You think it’s bad now, just wait until the deep state/Biden regime intentionally starts World War III in Europe, just before Trump returns to the White House (assuming the DNC doesn’t cheat again). Not to mention all the other mayhem happening pretty much everywhere right now. The plan is to cause as much destruction as possible before they leave. Count on it.
