Israel singles out Qatar as key Hamas terror sponsor
The Times of Israel ^ | Wednesday, July 23, 2014 | Elhanan Miller

Posted on 07/23/2014 5:08:41 PM PDT by Star Traveler

Gulf emirate is branded the villain behind Hamas belligerence, with PM’s former security adviser saying it funds tunnel diggers and rocket launchers.

President Shimon Peres accused Qatar on Wednesday of becoming “the world’s largest funder of terror” due to its financial support for Hamas in Gaza.

“Qatar does not have the right to send money for rockets and tunnels which are fired at innocent civilians,” the outgoing statesman told UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in Jerusalem. “Their funding of terror must stop. If they want to build then they should, but they must not be allowed to destroy.”

Qatar’s recently attempted to transfer funds for the salaries of Hamas civil servants in Gaza, following the formation of a Palestinian unity government, but was blocked by the United States, which pressured the Arab Bank not to process them. But former national security adviser Maj. Gen. (res) Yaakov Amidror told The Times of Israel that the emirate’s funding for the organization’s terror apparatus, including tunnel diggers and rocket launchers, has continued unabated.

If I was living in Gutter now, I would SERIOUSLY consider building a bomb shelter. Israel doesn’t say these things lightly.

All this kinda makes one nostalgic for the old Cold War days and the M.A.D. Doctrine (Mutually Assured Destruction). It was sort of comforting to know you could be obliterated at any moment! ... :-) ...

Obama is working for Qatar, and God knows who else. My guess is Rockefeller.

In 2009 Obama released a brutal al Qaeda terrorist known as al Baghdadi, he went on to head ISIS in 2013, they are at war in Iraq that thousands of US military men fought to stabilize.

Bob, an internet search turn up one U.S. military base in Qatar. Read a report not long ago of Qatar royals and Saudi royals aims being one and the same. To answer your question am going to approach from this angle. iran is probably being setup to be attacked. By whom I do not know but believe the blame will be placed on Israel. (imho) moslems are moslems be they shia or sunni. All moslems will react violently once iran is attacked. Probably one of the thought out plans from one of the think tanks.

Rockefeller history in Qatar.
http://www.cbq.qa/en/aboutus/our-history/pages/our-history-in-depth.aspx

The support of Chase Manhattan

The American banking giant Chase Manhattan Bank was selected for a management-services contract. Alan Mitchell, an Englishman fluent in Bedouin Arabic and a loyal friend to Hussain Alfardan, had worked with the founding board members on the establishment of the bank and joined Chase Manhattan to serve as Commercial Bank’s first General Manager.

Chase Manhattan provided training and general managers, including the American Donald Hayek, who succeeded Mitchell. At the time, Chase Manhattan, under the leadership of David Rockefeller, was pursuing an aggressive campaign of globalisation.

Rockefeller travelled to Qatar in his private jet, visiting both the Emir and the Bank itself, even financing a USD 350 million deal for four industrial projects, a coup later dubbed the ‘1977 Deal of the Year’ by Institutional Investor.

Developing a close working relationship that was cemented by means of fishing trips and private dinners, Alfardan recalled Rockefeller’s influence in a 2008 interview:

‘He taught me that one must be patient and must fight for what he wants and believes in. He also taught me that one must be strong and determined.’

Initially, the Bank focused on Wholesale Banking and Corporate Banking services, targeting local merchants. Sheikh Ali bin Jabor, the well-liked and respected founding Chairman who was also a keen poet, and Hussain Alfardan would visit the Bank daily, even vetting potential clients.

Today, Commercial Bank, still under Alfardan’s direction (he is fondly referred to as the ‘Godfather of the Bank’ by members of the board), occupies an ultra-modern 22-storey office plaza in Doha, a far cry from its humble beginnings.

Abed Aziz, the first staff member to be hired by the Bank, sheds valuable light on the astonishing rate of the Bank’s growth when he says, ‘I started with him [Hussain Alfardan] when he only had one shop. From 1 January 1975 for four months we stayed in his offices.’ At the time, the Bank had only one other employee.

Appparently after Obama's suppory, they got too powerfull.

http://www.barenakedislam.com/2014/05/05/now-even-qatar-a-muslim-brotherhood-stronghold-is-expelling-muslim-brotherhood-leaders/

MAY52014 Now, even Qatar, a Muslim Brotherhood stronghold, is expelling Muslim Brotherhood leaders So, why are there still so many Muslim Brotherhood operatives working in the Obama Regime?


Egypt Independent Sources close to the Muslim Brotherhood said that Qatar has started carrying out the Riyadh agreement which stipulates the country must expel the Brotherhood figures, adding that some of them has already left Doha. The expelled members include Mahmoud Hussein, the group’s secretary general, Gamal Heshmat and Bassem Khafagy. The sources added that Qatari government is working on a list of wanted figures or others involved in activities against the gulf countries or Egypt to turn them in to Gulf Cooperation Council.


A meeting by Qatar with other member states at the Gulf Cooperation Council mid April had reportedly hashed out a solution or the GCC crisis which surfaced when Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates withdrew ambassadors from Doha early March, citing Qatar’s intervention in their domestic affairs.

Qatar hosts a number of Saudi and Muslim Brotherhood activists opposed to their regimes at home. Qatari al-Jazeera Mubasher Misr channel is banned in Egypt and Saudi Arabia for materials critical of both regimes. The recent meeting reportedly discussed requests by Saudis and the UAE to deport Muslim Brotherhood figures. Both kingdoms are allies with the Egyptian interim authorities that had ousted the Brotherhood regime last year.

An Algerian newspaper reported on Sunday that the country is mulling a proposal to host Islamic Preacher Sheikh Youssef al-Qaradawi, head of the International Union of Muslim Scholars The newspaper, which is close to decision-making circles in Algeria, said that the Algerian foreign minister was informed about the decision during his visit to gulf countries. It added that it was intended that Qaradawi be hosted in Mauritania, Tunisia or Morocco. However, all were ruled out due to lack of guarantees of personal security to the sheikh. The newspaper quoted an anonymous source as saying that Algeria will condition, in case of acceptance, that the sheikh does not intervene in any political activities.

“Slim and his family are the largest shareholders, after members of the company’s founding family, in what’s arguably the most influential news organization in the United States.” Slims reputation for corruption is also well known in Mexico, and even the US media wonders why Slim has never been questioned for his profits from government concession monopolies that hurt mostly the poor.

I’m not an expert, but I believe my Persian friend who explained to me that “Muslim Brotherhood” is nonsense. It means nothing in terms of Middle Eastern cutlture. “It’s an invention”.

I see them all as drug cartels such as FARC. The may have a “cause” such as “La Revolucion Bolivariano”, that appeals to the disenfranchised, but at the end of the day they are simply drug/criminal cartels supported by powerfull individuals and governments who don’t want to get their hands dirty.

FARC was supported by government in Colombia, the media sold the “bad boys with a cause” story with strong insinuations of heroism, and everybody got their palms greased. The only problem is that they got out of control, as criminals with too much money and power will do. The corrupt payoffs turned into civil war.

The titles, labels, “causes”, seem to make people forget they are simply murderous mercenaries, drug dealers, and human traffickers.

Whatever Iran and UAE pretend, Iran imports from UAE more than any other country in the world. There are more Iranians doing business in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, than from any other country.

UAE owns the bank in the Middle East, they run the show, and Iran wouldn’t exists as is, if they didn’t get along. Syria is an example of that “Qatar - Turkey Pipeline”, Assad refused Qatar’s plan, which was followed with US funded and trained “ISIS”.

My Persian friend also said something that most educated people understand, major drug trafficking doesn’t exist without government complicity.

There is a lot of pretense and duplicity around the world. Iran/Hezbollah is a major drug trafficking nation. The heroin addiction problem, is a side effect of the trafficking. Iran has a population with the highest addiction rate in the world.

Iran, China, and Russia are all slave nations with the highest drug addiction rates. The Rothchilds made their fortune thanks to the Opium Wars. Perhaps that is what they want to do to us?

Pure, cheap, dangerous heroin is flooding world markets and the media silence is deafening.

They probably blocked the funds because the US is selling Qatar something like $1.3 billion worth of weapons instead that will inevitably end up in the hands of Hamas, instead of the payment for people of Palestine.
