Qatar Delende Est.... "Qatar must be destroyed"

Carthago delenda est were the words Cato the Elder finished every speech with. "Carthage must be destroyed". 

Its modern version: Qatar delende est. 

We've spent so much time huffing and puffing about the dangers of Shia Iran and its "circle of fire", its proxies surrounding Israel. Its radical fundamentalist Shia Islm. But we've ignored Sunni Qatar. And its radical fundamentalist Wahabbist Taliban Sunni Islam. We've tended to see Qatar as one of the Gulf States one of the Good Guys. But its not. It plays a double game. 

Caroline Glick and Yigal Carmon above talk some of the reasons we've been fooled. How Qatar has duped the West. 

I reckon there's a couple:

1. Money. Qatar funnels vast amounts of money to the west, to the media, to the universities, to the political systems. It's awful hard to bite the hand the offers it. 
2. Qatar Airways. They have lovely ads on major TV stations, like BBC, CNN, MSNBC. Gorgeous women, famous actresses, yummy food served at over the top First Class cabins. It's the first thing, I'd bet, that many of us think of, if we're asked about Qatar. 

From the intro above. 

Yigal Carmon, founder and president of the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), joins JNS senior contributing editor Caroline Glick for an exclusive interview that exposes Qatar’s corrosive influence on western society.

Learn about Doha's campaign to weaken Western powers and increase Islamic influence while simultaneously benefiting from economic cooperation.

Carmon and Glick discuss what should and can be done to defeat this new adversary on this episode of "The Caroline Glick Show!"

Another vid on with Einat Wilf covers a lot of ground, including Qatar -- "The Palestinian Flag Has Become The New Red Flag"

Wilf is multi-talented. She was in the Knesset, a former Intelligence Officer of the IDF's famous Unit 8200. She's also a fierce and knowledgeable critic of UNRWA, which makes her smart. Because that horrid organisation has also, like Qatar, duped the West into thinking that it actually is a refugee-supporting charity, whereas in reality it's an arm and hiding place of Hamas. Provider of viciously Jew-hating education to Palestinian kids.
