Alone among the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, Qatar for years was friendly to the Islamic Republic of Iran, so friendly, in fact, that on June 5, 2017, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, and Egypt severed diplomatic ties with Qatar, and imposed a land, sea, and air blockade on the emirate, accusing it of supporting terrorism […]
How Migrant Workers in the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries Are Mistreated
The citizens in the Arab states of the Gulf Cooperation Council rely on 35 million migrant workers who fulfill their every need. The Arab citizens of these countries have cradle-to-grave support from the government, and need not work to survive. In fact, they are mostly layabouts, spoiled silly by the oil money from their governments, […]
Iran Pushes Gulf Arab States Toward Israel
The Islamic Republic several days ago made the biggest mistake in its 47-year-old history. Its strategy beggars belief. Tehran apparently came to the dreamy conclusion that if it launched ballistic missiles and drones at all of its Sunni Arab neighbors, aiming not just at American military bases but at civilian infrastructure — hotels, apartment buildings, […]
Qatar Strikes Back at Iran
Having shot down two Sukhoi bombers belonging to Iran the other day, the Qataris have been emboldened. Now they have delivered a blow of their own to Iran, for themselves and also as a sign of solidarity with the other Gulf Arab states that have been targets of Iranian aggression. Qatar’s attack on Iran, that […]
Gulf countries slam Iran’s attack on US targets on their soil
As Iran launches strikes against American targets across the region, its strategy is backfiring. Saudi Arabia says it will join the U.S. in operations against the Islamic Republic. And other Gulf states are in a fury, as explosions have been heard in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates. These countries have confirmed […]
Qatari Textbooks Praise Jihad, Whitewash Hitler
Qatar is the main state supporter of the terror group Hamas and of the Muslim Brotherhood. Hamas’ senior leaders have long been provided with luxurious and secure accommodations in Doha, from where they plot their campaigns against Israel. Qatar spends more on American institutions of higher education than any other country, and its money pays […]
Eight Muslim countries condemn Israel’s expansion in Judea and Samaria, and ‘illegal control measures’
The countries that condemn Israel for expanding its control in Judea and Samaria are Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, Indonesia, Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey. The Palestinian cause is the central cause to the Muslim ummah (to which, of course, all these nations belong), as the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has declared. Every OIC […]
Netanyahu: If Saudis want normalization deal, ‘we expect them not to align with anti-Israel forces’
The world seems largely to think that Israel is so eager for normalization with Muslim countries that ordinary conditions don’t apply. Saudi Arabia has already made it clear repeatedly that it considers no normalization possible without Israel’s return to its pre-1967 borders (aka “the Auschwitz borders”), and the Saudis also expect that East Jerusalem would […]
How Qatar Corrupts Georgetown and Many Others
Qatar is that nasty little emirate on the Persian Gulf, owned by the Al-Thani family, that owes its hold on the world’s attention solely to the fact that it sits on the third largest reservoir of natural gas in the world. Culturally, it does not exist. Qatar has made hundreds of billions of dollars from […]
Why Are We Following Qatar’s Foreign Policy on Iran?
From Syria to Gaza to Iran, Qatar is hijacking the Trump administration. Syria’s Al Qaeda regime is massacring Kurds to free imprisoned ISIS terrorists, state sponsors of Hamas in Turkey and Qatar are being named to boards running Gaza and thousands of democracy protesters are being massacred in Iran while Al Jazeera defends the regime.
