OPINION:
Qatar is the fox in the henhouse. It is friends with America. At the same time, it is undermining America. It funded Hamas yet forced the terrorist group to accept the American ceasefire. It is a key player in President Trump’s 2025 peace plan with much of the Islamic world, but it is also the main backer of Zohran Mamdani, the anti-American jihadi who will likely be the next mayor of New York. (The Mamdani family is closely linked to the Qatari royal family, which was implicated in the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993.)
The Muslim Brotherhood is assaulting our democracies. It uses antisemitism to fragment the fabric of societies, a technique employed by Adolf Hitler as he stormed across Europe. Qatar is the Brotherhood’s epicenter. It has nearly unlimited funds to spread around, influencing politicians, business people and nongovernmental organizations. It spent $100 billion on America’s Ivy League, buying chairs of learning and indoctrinating our future leaders with anti-“infidel,” anti-American ideology and the Palestine hoax, which was invented by the Soviet KGB and Egypt in 1964. Palestinianism’s only function is the negation of Israeli sovereignty.
Qatar is dangerous. Mr. Trump must be vigilant, but he has only three more years in power. Will his successor and our feeble Western partners manage to keep the Islamists at bay?
