Qatar, Turkey, Iran Exploit the Palestinian Cause To Promote Bigotry And Themselves

 Qatar, Turkey, Iran and others incite, demonize and promote hate and intolerance against not only Israel, but especially against Israel.

They complain about the terrible war and civilian casualties in Gaza, yet they are not peacemakers and have done everything they can to promote the hate and intolerance that have led up to this war and keep it going.

The Palestinian cause is used to united people behind their beliefs - which when manifested in countries like Qatar that do not have the cushion of oil and gas wealth that allows them to live fat cat lives on the backs of exploited foreign workers, especially women and laborers - can be seen in places like Afghanistan and elsewhere. Places where child marriage, intolerance, bigotry towards religious minorities, violence and oppression against women and girls, and more are widespread. 

This is a movement to spread their religion. Because their effort to dominate, subjugate the unbelievers, not only to destroy Israel, the only small nation in the middle east where the majority population are Jews, they are given a pass because when domination, subjugation, bigotry and intolerance are held under the banner of religion, not politics, it has become taboo to challenge this bigotry and intolerance.

Because hatred against Jews is widespread and ingrained in the long history of persecution and oppression of Jews in not only Europe, but also throughout much of the middle east and Africa, the toxic hatred against Jews finds a ready audience in the poison Qatar, Turkey, Iran and others are serving. India is one of the few places where Jews did not experience persecution, unlike practically everywhere else in the world where there are long histories of persecution and massacres of Jews and other minority populations.

If the hatred, bigotry, racism and intolerance that hides itself under the banner of religion is not finally faced, repudiated and resisted, the nightmare this intolerance and bigotry have already created will become a nightmare far worse than that which already exists. 

Gaza needs to be free from Hamas. Nigeria needs to be free from Boko Haram. Sudan, Yemen, Somalia, the Congo region, Mali, Burkina Fasso, Mozambique, Syria, many places are consumed in war, terror, massacres of religious minorities, even genocide from the hatred and intolerance. These are but a few of the places consumed in hatred, bigotry and fanatical cults that see murder of civilians, even babies, as righteous acts when these crimes are committed against those considered not to believe and follow what they believe, to put it mildly. The intolerance and bigotry that Qatar, along with Turkey, Iran and others are spreading must be faced and rejected.
