Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, September 11, 2025

Qatar would have been forgiven for thinking it was immune from Israeli attack. The tiny Gulf state is a key US ally that hosts USCENTCOM Forward and welcomed President Dummkopf Trumpf just four months ago; red carpets were laid, billion-dollar deals were done, and a controversial presidential aircraft bequeathed. As mediator to end the war in Gaza, Qatar's PM Sheikh Mohammed Al Thani personally met with Hamas' chief negotiator Khalil Al-Hayya on Monday to push for the new US-led ceasefire and hostage deal. Hamas' response was expected at a follow-up meeting Tuesday evening; a couple of hours before that answer, Israeli jets struck a residential building in Doha, murdering five Palestinians and a Qatari security official. The sense of shock and betrayal is palpable in the Qatari capital.

The vocabulary being used by Qatar's PM is strong, evocative and damning, a departure from his usual composed response to the incessant twists and turns of trying to end the 23-month genocide in Gaza. Sheikh al-Thani described the Israeli surprise attack as "state terror" and warned that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu had "killed any hope" for the hostages and undermined "any chance of peace." He also said the Israeli tyrant must be "brought to justice," accusing him of breaking "every international law." Qatar is also considered to have taken a hit on America's behalf when Iran counter-attacked Al Udeid military base in June 2025 in response to illegal US air strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Al Udeid is the largest US military facility in the region. Doha issued strong condemnation but little more. On the international stage, Qatar has mediated between Russia and Ukraine and the US and the Taliban, known as the Doha Accord. The Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) will be building a $5.5 billion golf resort in Qatar, but which oligarch would want to play golf or invest in a country vulnerable to IDF attack? And if the gift of a multimillion dollar jumbo jet and multi-billion dollar project doesn't protect Qatar, what are Trumpf's superrich Arab friends thinking? Note the IDF also recently murdered the civilian PM of the Yemeni Houthis in an airstrike. The Houthis have been counterattacking Israel on behalf of the besieged suffering Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC for war crimes remains active for Benjamin Netanyahu. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

By Deception shall they wage war.

Israel is a Mad Dog. Trump was involved.

There was collusion between the US and Israel. No Way Israel Hit them without American Connivance.

Just like the Soleimani Murder.

Trump is as Evil as Netanyahu in Full Measure.

War is inevitable.

Iran,Yemen.

Why do so many people think that they are immune from being pissed on by Trump?

3/5

proving again the hardline core central belief that all minorities, from birth, owe their political allegiance to the democratic party.

and when they betray that belief......they are to be mocked and shunned.....and be openly told they deserve their ------ lot in life.

The Republican Party has stated that they're the white man's party.

The Republican Party has time and time again done everything they could make lives harder for Black Americans, Brown Americans, Women Americans, LGBTQ+ Americans.

Nobody owes political allegiance to anyone. That's why members of the groups above choose not to vote or vote for third-party members.

But you have to be a special kind of stupid to support the party who has made it their life's mission to making sure you stay in your place.

I know as a white man who feels both parties are the same. You don't understand this, but maybe you should try seeing life through someone else's perspective.

"mocked and shunned."

right on cue with an example...

"you have to be a special kind of stupid to support the party who......blah blah blah"

"you should try seeing life through someone else's perspective"

You're the one telling people how to feel, who to support, who to hate, and why..etc...

not me.

I completely respect your political choices, who vote for, who you won't vote for. Have I ever attacked you or anybody else for what they did on election day?

Of course not. You do it 400 times a day here.

Really? Is that why I wrote, "Nobody owes political allegiance to anyone."

You completely ignored that and jumped right to the part I gave my opinion.

You know what an opinion is, right?

You vomit them up nonstop.

No, you wrote that because you're full of ----.

You don't remotely believe that and that's why you're hard on folks for their political choices.

especially minorities, gays, etc...they really really piss you off.

and why? well, that's obvious.....they broke the rules. The rules that state they owe, at birth, their loyalty to the democratic party.

Hey, believe in what you want for yourself.....and I won't judge it at all.

but you're obsessed with other people's beliefs and choices.

Sound American to you? Land of the Free?

no? That's because it isn't.

If they don't believe what you believe??? Then ----- them!!!!

Well, we all know that's not true. You're lying.

Lying about convictions and morals you don't actually have isn't much to go with.
