Exposing the template of soft (evil) power in a soft voice … brilliant essay.

Qatar owns the American educational system & Americans, in turn, wear their blindfold as a badge of courage.

The only professional regret I have is that I was part of the LIFFE exchange team that went to Doha and helped them turn the stodgy Doha Securities Market into the Doha Exchange.

If I could take it back, I would.

It might be a soft voice but it is scathing and rapier sharp. It might be too late, but Dr.Charles Small, Director of ISGAP, Institute for the Study of Anti Semitism and Policy, (isgap.org) is trying to inform Congress of the scale and amounts of Qatari money given to American universities.

Although it might be too late, Hen Mazzig is educating his 6.7k followers who might forward his essays to others. That illustration of Anna Wintour and  Sheikha Moza bint Nasser is mind blowing ! This piece is such an eye opener including the connection with Mamdani. It is illustrative of the level of corruption the world is experiencing now. As in, we are drowning in it. The world has always turned on money. All western Democracies are weak as leadership has succumbed to the new levels of Greed, as in we are living in the Age of Greed. 

While radical Muslim Jihadists appear as benevolent huminatarians, they all want their Empire/Caliphate back. The fact that Israel, with its vaunted Intelligence agencies allowed Oct. 7th is really hard to swallow. And not a coincidence that it happened during Netanyahu's corrupt government.

Qatar is being allowed to manipulate the West by playing the double game because money, not morality talks.

Nice Ken, but you are shouting into the wind. The easy acceptance of money (bribes meant to be collected upon later) by these institutions you mention is ongoing and probably unstoppable. Money talks, and ethics walk. And yes, the Israeli government made a grievous error thinking a paid Hamas was a quiet Hamas. Now they know.

I see a lot of commentary on X saying Israel is part of the "Epstein class." It's probably more accurate to say that Qatar was there first and Israel was just the messengar boy.

Epstein class? Jews? Israelis? Israeli Jews? WTF
