    Especially given that last year most of the Gulf states had/were in the process of normalizing and publicizing diplomatic ties with Israel. Qatar has always been the odd one out in the Gulf, but the fact that these disgusting comments were lauded speaks to how much damage Netanyahu has done in such a short time.

      Nothing creates unity like a shared enemy, and there’s no better shared enemy than Every One That’s Not Us™️.

      It’s why a lot of religious groups generate persecution complexes- it keeps people from leaving the fold.
