It’s pretty clear that Qatar’s government-regulated media thinks the Mamdani election is tied—positively—to the October 7 attack—something referred to as the Al-Aqsa Flood. This is the bloodthirsty, Jew-hating position Qatar is taking. You may think you’re safe from their Islamic holy war because you are not Jewish. But you’re wrong. They are coming for you.
MEMRI reports: Qatari journalist Abdullah Al-Amadi wrote on his X account: “What is happening in the U.S. is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the outcomes of the Al-Aqsa Flood. The American public has understood—after many long years of imposed slumber, in which Zionism played a role—that supporting injustice and oppression is a moral failure…. Ayman Azzam, a presenter on the Qatari Al-Jazeera network, shared a post by Somali social media activist Hiba Shukri that attributed Mamdani’s victory to October 7 and the boost it gave to the anti-Israel movement. Azzam commented: “The world is changing; The manifestations of the Flood have an impact” (MEMRI). Eitan Fischberger: Qatar has worked hard to pose as a close ally of President Trump. But in reality, the regime despises Trump, America, and the West. So it’s no surprise that Qatari officials and influencers couldn’t hide their glee over Mamdani’s win — and they’re making it about the Jews (Fischberger).
