Except that Qatar is not a neutral state as defined by international law (Hague Convention Articles 2,3,4), which requires a neutral state to prevent belligerents from staging hostile activities on its soil. Hamas works freely in Qatar to organize weapons shipments, financing, alliances.

More like it's time for Qatar's al-Thani dynasty to decide how prudent it really is to balance both sides, an immensely powerful Israel backed by the US vs a squashed Iranian axis that can't even make a credible defense of the skies over Teheran.

Note that Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia do not face that dilemma.

The vast majority of Qatari funding in higher education in America has led to anti America and anti Israel narratives being pushed on campuses. It's inaccurate to paint this as merely soft power projection, Qatar is not as innocent as you're painting it to be. Faisal, this seemingly biased defense of an Islamist financing state is very concerning. Aren't you an atheist who has allegiance to America your new country?

Yes, Faisal, the thin veneer of Doha’s neutrality has been exposed by Jerusalem. Under that veneer is the HQ of the Submission Bros organized biased insanity.
