Does Qatar Think Zionist Jews Control Congress? | The Forward |
Now, Qatar has set its sights on changing its image among Jews, one Zionist at a time.
“They told me they invited me because they knew me to be the strongest and toughest Zionist in America that they heard about, and they wanted me to say what things bothered them the most, what they need to change, and they said they knew from me they would get the truth, no matter how unpleasant,” Klein told me.
Klein arrived in Doha equipped with “the truth” — a 50-page dossier detailing Qatar’s crimes against the Jews, including its connections with Hamas and the “anti-Semitic” content in Al Jazeera, which is bankrolled by Qatar.
And the emir [young emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani] was receptive to it, “gracious, kind, respectful, sensitive.” He promised to work to combat the flaws that Klein saw in Al Jazeera.
More below the fold …
But there was another reason, too, that Klein believed he had been invited. “They believe like so much of the world believes that we are the most influential group when it comes to Congress,” Klein said.
And they wanted Klein to leverage that power on their behalf. “They asked me to go to congressmen and talk about my trip,” Klein told me. “They asked me to go to Congress to urge them to go to Qatar, to see how they are trying to liberalize. By the way, women are driving. Women are walking alone all over the place. It’s not Saudi Arabia.”
Klein for his part was skeptical about the amount of power strident Zionist Jews have over Congress. “We couldn’t stop the Iran deal,” he reminded me. “Our power, Jewish power in Congress is vastly overrated.”
When Hillary Clinton was the darling of Al Jazeera and President Erdogan of Turkey … Qatar was VERY helpful to fund rebels with arms if Libya to overthrow the regime of Muammar Gaddafi and in a similar sweep and flow of shiploads full of munition and arms for the rebels to overthrow Assad in Syria. Both dumb decisions by American neoconservatives in Washington DC, supported by old colonial powers of Great Britain and France through NATO, have turned out just as bad as the invasion of Iraq by George Bush in 2003. The Muslim Brotherhood triangle of Egypt’s Morsi, Turkey and Qatar have been left backfooted by the uneventful events of massacres and tribal twists. As former president Mubarak of Egypt predicted the Iraq War would open Pandora’s Box. The monarch of Saudi Arabia warned president Bush of the consequences and began supporting the Sunni groups in Anbar province with funds and weapons. We all found out the most extremist jihadists groups gained power and formed ISIL which was later renamed itself the Islamic State (IS).
Thanks to the Russian military intervention, the unlimited bloodshed has been curtailed and the civil strife has been cut back. No winners, only losers. The political winners are the populist parties across Europe with its anti-immigration creed, Islamophobia and nationalist views of a Judeo-Christian Europe. Making Western Europe an inhabitable place for minorites and immigrants seeking to sustain their family with a dream of a better life.
