1. Congress: US sanctions on Qatar
Alex   (07.29.14)
Congress should pass a bill by 2/3 majority to threaten sanctions against Qatar unless it ends support of Hamas.
2. A not-so radical idea!
Z.Z. Coltrane ,   USA   (07.29.14)
Israel should hit Qatar's oil fields! Let's see how well they do without their precious black gold flowing for revenue to fund their many dubious causes. I'm just sayin'!
3. Mashal amassed a fortune of $2.5 billion.Why should he care?
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.29.14)
4. Exactly why
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.29.14)
Israel shouldn't have a problem carpet bombing Gaza. Qatar will pay to rebuilt it in an island not to close to Israel.
5. Enough of the evil rumors
(07.29.14)
On July 14, Qatar announced they are buying $11 billion in arm from the US. Evil rumors that some of this money could get siphoned off to politicians, or that this money would allow Qatar to influence American policy vis a vis their allies Hamas are false.
6. Probably for this reason, Obama is president of the USA
(07.29.14)
He is serving the interests of his boss in Qatar.Anyone doubts this?
7. Qatar
Maher ,   Australia   (07.29.14)
Qatar is responsible for every drop of blood shed in Palestine and Israel
8. Zionism will end like all other isms, Nazism, Communism
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.29.14)
...and minority will have to live under the majority, again.
9. The West and India
Jake ,   Haifa   (07.29.14)
Need to think. Qatar is about 10% Arab (some tribes which moved into the area around the same time the British did) and the rest are virtual slaves from the subcontinent. Taking it over could be completed in a day and India would have its first colony. A legitimate one as Indians do all the work and are an ovrwhelming majority of the population. Free Indian Qatar - that is the real inhabitants.
10. Thats NOT the whole story
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (07.29.14)
Qatar funding is one thing But the Gaza tunnel and cash economy, smuggling, arms trading, crime and huge private donations has created at least 10 $ BILLIONAIRES in Gaza and around 70 Multi Millionaires in just 10 years That in one of the poorest economies in the world...can THAT be RIGHT? But it all explains why Hamas don't want to change the status quo at any price...when Gaza for 10 years has been one big fat money machine which they have now bled dry That's why Hamas are NO GOOD FOR GAZA
11. Congress: US sanctions on Qatar
Alex   (07.29.14)
Congress should pass a bill by 2/3 majority to threaten sanctions against Qatar unless it ends support of Hamas.
12. Control over the West and America?
LiberateTheWest   (07.29.14)
Are we hostages of Qatar? Is ISIS, MB and Hamas Qatari investments? Should Qatar be on the terrorist list?
13. So was H.Boss, BSAF,MERCEDES,SEIMENS....
David ,   Montreal, Canada   (07.29.14)
were funding Hitler's projects. The answer would be to boycott these brands for ever and do some useful lobbying to reach the goal. It's not a crime toward Israel, but toward humanity.
14. Hamas makes the Mafia look like boy scouts.
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (07.29.14)
No one more callous or rich than by using people as crops.
15. # 11 And obama would veto it immediately.
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (07.29.14)
I see only two ways out of this mess created by obama, Impeachment or, resignation. ( Is a heart attack too much to ask for, dear Lord?)
16. Everytime you buy an I phone
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (07.29.14)
you make a donation to HAMAS Hands up who has an Iphone?
17. To Steve Benassi # 8
Ralf ,   Paris France   (07.29.14)
Good idea,lets start with islamism first
18. qatar money
daniela ,   panama   (07.29.14)
Which so much money given to Gaza, how come Hamas did not pay its public servants for so long?
19. # 2 I'd pay to see that !!!
Joe Blow   (07.29.14)
20. Perhaps The IDF Should Pay A Small Social Call
David H ,   Marietta USA   (07.29.14)
Fly over a few f-15s, very low altitude, maximum speed possible, shatter some windows down town 2 or 3 times, then leave. If they can visit Somali terrorists, a short flight to Qatar should be easy for them. And get the point across.
21. Obvious why the US includes Qatar as a negotiating partner
A ,   Belgium   (07.29.14)
they both bankroll the "palestinian" terrorists, regardless of whether they call themselves hamas or fatah. American principles (not funding terror organizations) are forgotten when there are lot's of $$'s to be had.
22. #8 Not before white trashism ends, of which
A ,   Belgium   (07.29.14)
you are a despicable example.
23. #8 I doubt if appx. 20% of the worlds population would agree
A ,   Belgium   (07.29.14)
with your ignorant statement that communism has disappeared. The world would be a better a better place if you would disappear though, Benazi.
24. Opium Poppies Rule The World
DvorahTheProphetess ,   SC, USA   (07.29.14)
Afghanistan is the largest producer of poppies on the planet; a commodity whose by - products heroin, morphine, are complemented with Afghani hashish, rewarding happy investors trillion$ to invest, not only in armaments, but in global mind - control as well. Should be traded on the NASDAQ
25. Let's not forget Fifa 2022...
Uptown ,   Toronto   (07.29.14)
So we've recently held Olympics in Russia and China. Next World Cup to be held in Russia, and then Qatar in 2022. Let's hope there are still non-Muslim countries in existence by then, otherwise they'll have to call it the Jihad Cup.
26. Qatar funds Hamas
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (07.29.14)
The head of Hamas is safely in Qatar while Gazans are told to be human shields. Other Hamas leaders are in Egypt and Turkey. ' The funds provided by Qatar ...was used solely for construction' of tunnels.
27. # 16 SPeaking of i phones
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (07.30.14)
and all cell phones, it seems to have a built in feature that when turned off the mike is still on according to evidence by the NSA. Hello big brother obama.
28. What did they pay for obama?
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (07.30.14)
29. Should all drugs become legal and end some terrorism?
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (07.30.14)
40,000 dead on the US Mexico border, children exploited, nations in ruination and exiting like locusts following the scent of wheat. Drugs in America, I'm talking about, is there a international theme here, the $$$ from the sale of drugs? Yes.
30. Iphone
Anat   (08.01.14)
Explain what you mean!
