Tucker Carlson Whitewashes America's Enemies – Part I: Qatar
Memri ^ | 3/12/2025 | Yigal Carmon

Posted on 03/18/2025 4:04:18 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

In his interview with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Aal Thani, published March 8, 2025, Tucker Carlson allows a total whitewash of the worst enemy of America in this century, Qatar. He claims that the attacks on Qatar are motivated by an attempt to drag America into war with Iran. This is a false claim. MEMRI, the foremost critic of Qatar over the years that continues to accuse it of being an enemy of America, and the foremost sponsor of Islamist terrorism (including 9/11), opposes an American attack on Iran.

-snip-

Qatar's prime minister tries to justify the existence of terrorist headquarters in its capital, Doha, by claiming that America asked him to do so. Carlson does not ask for any details. But this is a typical Qatari lie. What the Qatari prime minister himself has said on numerous occasions was that America asked Qatar to "keep lines of communications" with the terrorist organizations. Even if this claim is true, Qatar did something totally different – it brought in the headquarters of the terrorists and allowed them to operate from Qatar.

Carlson's most important question to the prime minister of Qatar, whose country was declared a major non-NATO ally by the previous U.S. administration, was: Is Qatar an enemy of the United States? The Qatari prime minister's answer was that Qatar is hosting the CENTCOM base.

But by hosting the CENTCOM base at Al-Udeid, Qatar is not doing the U.S. a favor – on the contrary. The U.S. base guarantees the survival of Qatar's ruling Aal Thani family.

You are a liar. I have never defended Hamas. I have said that Israel is killing innocent children and women in its indiscriminate bombing which has converted Gaza into “a demolition site”. You are a shill for everything Israel. Trump promised to MAGA, not to make Israel a 51st state or put it in charge of our foreign policy. Trump promised not to get us into foreign wars. I and others who oppose this new war are simply agreeing with Trump’s promises. You are off the reservation.

I know you are still in Kindergarten so I won’t guess about what college you will go to if your mom decides to pay for it.

Hamas’s primary base of operation is the Gaza Strip. Not Qatar or Syria.

Yes.


Hamas’s political chiefs are exploring moving their base of operations out of Qatar, The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday, as the Gulf state faces increasing pressure over its influence with the terror group in indirect hostage-for-truce negotiations with Israel.

Nope.

GROK:

"Hamas does not have a single, fixed "home" in the traditional sense, as it operates across multiple locations with a decentralized structure. Its primary base of operations is in the Gaza Strip, where it has governed since seizing control from the rival Fatah faction in 2007."

Grok:

Until 2012, its political bureau was headquartered in Damascus, Syria, but it relocated after the Syrian Civil War strained relations with the Assad regime. Since then, Doha, Qatar, has hosted key political leaders, such as Ismail Haniyeh, who have operated from there in relative safety, often in luxury accommodations.

Of course not. They don’t want to lose their headquarters there.

How many children were killed in the Oct. 7 attacks?

How many children were killed in the attacks on Berlin, Tokyo, Nagasaki and Heroshima?

Including the 6 month old Hamas babies and their conniving mothers. Hitler would be proud.

I don’t know about October 7. Israel itself is conducting investigations into the charges that many of the dead were killed by IDF executing the Hannibal doctrine or just making the death count big enough to insure a full scale war on Gaza. Netanyahu has worked to block any investigation into the reason for the 8 hour delay in the IDF response to the attack, on the most defended fence line in the world.
