| > Qatar lies Netanyahu said that "Qatar is not an enemy country". Is he wrong about that? https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-08-14/ty-article/.p... |

| ▲ | codingisfreedom 4 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I don’t support Netanyahu, and so does close to 50% of Israelis. Qatar is spreading fake information and is funding Hamas as well as anti-Israel classes in major US colleges. If you don’t trust Netanyahu then you should disregard the link you shared as well and that just strengthens my point. | | |
| ▲ | y-curious 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Yeah but the Haredi will outbreed the rational liberals of Israel and vote towards extremism. If there was a Muslim country with as much power as Israel attacking other countries, it would equally be right to call it out. | | |
| ▲ | codingisfreedom 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | It’s mostly the national settlers that pull it toward extremism at its current state, not Haredim. But it’s also October 7 that made the average joe even more extreme in their opinions. |

This is absolutely true but people don't want to hear about this. Qatar is the main propagator of many student bodies in the US. This is how you get students saying "gloabalize intifada", "death to the USA”, occupying buildings, etc. Qatar has a long, well funded strategy for influence in the west which is pretty much their only leverage. In addition they are the main funders of Hamas, alongside hosting the Hamas leaders in fancy hotels in Doha for many, many years. |

| ▲ | hunterpayne 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Its a messy situation. Qatar hosted HAMAS's bot farms and leadership until 2024 (or 2025, I don't remember) when Israel destroyed it with literal bombs dropped by a F-35I. That happened quite near to both a Qatari military base and a US military base. That doesn't happen unless the Qatari military/government gave approval. I'm no expert in Qatari politics but I would guess that there are significant support for HAMAS in the population. The politicians probably wanted HAMAS leadership and IW operations out of their country, but they also wanted plausible deniability with their own population. So given all of that and assuming there are things happening we don't understand, is Qatar an enemy of Israel? Publicly the answer is no. But its probably also dependent on their respective interests and situationally independent. |

| """far from being a perfect state""" ???
it's been captured by a bloodthirsty clique, and all the intelligent & wise people in it are leaving |
| |
| ▲ | codingisfreedom 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | It has been captured by bloodthirsty clique is true. But so does the US and every other nation around Israel. Just check the facts about each and every government in the middle east. | | |
| ▲ | polotics 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | what about not whatabouting facts? we are not talking about the miss universe contest here. keep your identity small, it will help you think more clearly. | | | |
| ▲ | protocolture 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | I mean the bloodthirsty clique that has captured the US is called Israel. | | |
| ▲ | polotics 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | I don't think that's true either. I get the feeling it's more of a "flood the zone" Steve Bannon style "disrupt the other continents" geostrategic drunken-master kung fu. |

| >>When Obama used social networks, he was called a genius, but when it’s someone you don’t like Obama used social networks to spread a milquetoast 'yes we can' message, not to justify an ongoing genocide. How is that even a comparison. Israel is closer to Triumph des Willens than it is to promoting the Affordable Care Act, you do realize that right? It's not 'far from being a perfect state', it's waging old testament wars of extermination on its neighbors and towns |
| |
| ▲ | codingisfreedom 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | It has been attacked by a Palestinian militia terrorist group. Is it waging old testament wars? No, but it is retaliating at a rate the western world refuses to accept because the western world has different, much much milder kind of problems. | | |
| ▲ | customguy 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | That kind of euphemism is just a joke in light of the racist and fascist rhetoric by Israeli pundits and politicians, how they call even babies terrorists, while at the same time making shit up about beheaded babies and whatnot. Even just the sheer cruelty and stupidity IDF soldiers put on display proudly, voluntarily, would wholly refute it. Israelis making their joke videos about Palestinians by itself would suffice. Only a deeply sick, deeply evil and deeply stupid society can create such artifacts. You may come to a different conclusions, but you may not gloss over all the input into that judgement. | | |
