For Qatar interested people:
French 'Charlie Hebdo':
On the hypocrisy and Qatari bipolarity On the one hand, there is the transfer of Messi to Paris Saint-Germain
And on the other hand host and fund the Taliban. pic.twitter.com/JypjU5iyvj— orit perlov (@oritperlov) August 23, 2021
It reads: “It’s worse than what we thought.”
The Hebrew at the top translates as this: "For Qatar lovers and interested people, Charlie lost the Frenchman on the hypocrisy and Qatari bipolarity on the one hand, there is the transfer of Messi to Paris Saint-Germain and on the other hand host and fund the Taliban."
The Charlie Hebdo headline translates from French as "It's worse than we thought".
The person identified as Messi is Lionel (Leo) Messi, an Argentine soccer star who plays for the Paris Saint-Germain Football Club.
I find no evidence that Leo Messi is a Muslim, or that he has any interest in or connection to Islam, so that aspect of the apparent irony is opaque to me.
Nope.
Surely the cartoon is available somewhere that's not Twatter?

Ps
As to google-translate it is not always precise, the Hebrew translate here means Qatar-interested fans of the matter but not really "lovers")
From what I can tell, Messi is possibly the best soccer player in the world at present, or anyway among the very top tier of players internationally.
The Paris Saint-Germain FC is apparently an extremely successful team, something like the Buffalo Bills or the Miami Dolphins here.
Yup. The cartoon exposes Qatar as an Islamic fanatic and not as “ Westerner “ as it appeared when it handled the Messi deal.
Thank you!
