Qatar hosted Hamas leaders in Doha. It gave Hamas over 230 million over the years. Now look at who tops the UN’s list of donors to its counterterrorism office. Qatar again. On October 7, as Hamas gunmen massacred civilians in Israel, Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh and other leaders watched the attack on @AJEnglish from Haniyeh’s office in Doha. Then they bowed in a prayer of thanks. The UN’s own records show that Qatar contributed $142,864,281 to its counterterrorism work. That is 30.5% of all contributions listed since 2007. More than 10 times what the United States gave, roughly 60 times what Britain gave and 136 times what France gave. @UN_OCT, what do you say to the families of those murdered on October 7 when they see who tops your donor list? Qatar gave Hamas leaders a home and their organization millions. Now it can point to your own records and claim credit for fighting terrorism. That makes a mockery of everything your office stands for. Read the UN’s donor figures: un.org/counterterrorism/en/f…

Thousands of years ago, Pharaoh’s daughter pulled a Hebrew baby out of the Nile. She risked everything to save Moses. Jewish tradition calls her Batya, which means “daughter of God.” This week in Prague, I spoke about her. On the 88th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the Czech Parliament paid its first official tribute to the 129 Czech Righteous Among the Nations. At CAM, we organized the ceremony with the Federation of Jewish Communities in the Czech Republic. I traveled to Prague because this is my story too. During the Holocaust, people who weren’t Jewish opened their door to my grandparents in Belgium and hid them. I’m alive because of their courage. Standing with the families of the Righteous, I thought about what we share. Their families know what it took to open that door. Mine knows what it meant to find it open. It was an honor to stand alongside Holocaust survivor Michaela Vidláková and the members of Parliament who gathered to pay tribute. Thank you, @PatrikNacher and @ShannonSeban, for bringing us together. Today, as antisemitism rises again, each of us has a choice about what we do when someone needs us. Have the courage to open the door. Read about the tribute in Prague⁠: combatantisemitism.org/cam-n…

France Scrutinized Israeli and US Posts About the Riots. What About Qatar’s Influence? I posted from Israel after a synagogue was vandalized during the French riots. My post drew millions of views. Of course I was angry. Why would anyone be surprised that people outside France care about its immigration policies or the safety of French Jews? On November 9, @Reuters reported that France’s Foreign Ministry (@francediplo) had accused Israeli and MAGA accounts of spreading “hostile narratives.” The ministry highlighted the ten most viewed posts from each group. The Israeli posts drew more than 35 million views. The MAGA posts drew more than 49 million. What did those numbers tell us about whether anyone acted together? Three weeks earlier, our team at CAM had documented 1,384 posts from 816 accounts in just two days blaming Jews, Israel, or Mossad for organizing the riots. A synagogue was vandalized. Then Jews were blamed for the unrest itself. That story was missing from the Reuters account. Now consider where Macron was when he warned about foreign manipulation. He visited Doha on October 20 and 21, 2026. His host had pledged €10 billion to startups and investment funds tied to the French economy. Qatar also has a stake in a major Reuters customer. On September 20, 2007, Qatar Holding announced it had bought 20% of London Stock Exchange Group. At the end of 2025, Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund held 6.2% of the group’s voting rights. That year, Reuters earned $398 million from the group, nearly half its revenue. Did anyone representing Qatar speak to French officials about how to characterize those posts, or to @Reuters about how to cover them? If our public tweets deserve scrutiny, so does Doha’s access to the people telling this story.
