To Qatar's House of Thani: Tear Down This Wall
If the "monarchy" is going to monitor me quietly, then I'm going to speak to them loudly. The God of Israel will not be mocked. The war against the Jewish people must end now.
There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace.
General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate!
Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!
This morning I made a discovery which has delighted me to no end and will now inspire both key stylistic and thematic shifts in this publication.
Scrolling through the Substack dashboard, I found a new feature which allows us to download data of where our audience originate. It will tell you how many of your readers live in each of the 50 states and then in countries around the world. Maybe this was available previously, but I had not seen that it could be downloaded this easily
So I did and then dropped it into Copilot, which has now emerged as one of the three LLMs I have tested extensively this year and now actually like. (The other two are Gemini and Vibe, the European-made AI from Mistral, formerly called Le Chat. I’ll explain why these three seem different from the others in an upcoming piece.)
Copilot noted all the different states and countries before analyzing what the various clusters meant. And then it revealed something which I was not aware of:
Who in Qatar might want to subscribe to this proudly Zionist media company which has condemned the ruling House of Thani “monarchy” that has ruled the country with brutality for generations?
Answer: someone who works for the Qatar News Agency, known in Arabic as وكالة الأنباء القطرية (قنا) and angicized as Wakalat al-Anba al-Qatariya (QANA), the regime’s state-run news agency.
So far this likely mid-level staffer or intern has received eight emails and not yet opened any. Copilot suggested that it wouldn’t show the emails being read because they were likely being forward to some program monitoring critics of the regime and scraping the information about what we write.
Why did a propaganda operative of the Qatari regime choose to subscribe in March? Here are the first pieces they received:
The answer is not hard to determine:
Here is an excerpt of the first four paragraphs from this February article I published at The Algemeiner:
Despite Qatari leaders’ rhetoric seemingly promoting peace and opposing hate, the Middle Eastern country continues to educate students with textbooks that celebrate terrorism, hide the Holocaust, and demonize the Jewish people by affirming longstanding antisemitic tropes, according to a new study.
The Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se), a nonprofit organization that analyzes schoolbooks and curricula around the world, reviewed 52 textbooks officially approved for the 2025-2026 State of Qatar national school curriculum, in addition to checking them against previous editions for potential revisions. The books covered topics ranging from social studies, geography, and history to Islamic education, Arabic language, and Arabic literature. IMPACT-se applied UNESCO-derived standards and guidelines of peace and tolerance in education.
The researchers found that the same problems from the 2021-2022 school year had not improved, as the textbooks “continue to reproduce antisemitic narratives, religious intolerance toward non-Muslims, and legitimization of violent jihad, all of which were documented in IMPACT-se’s earlier reports.”
The antisemitic material includes promoting stereotypes of Jews as arrogant liars obsessed with opposing Islam. The texts also cast Jews as “fleeing in fear, spreading discord, breaching agreements,” and possessing an “excessive attachment to material wealth, thereby reinforcing an image of Jews as fundamentally untrustworthy.”
The article likely got some extra traction because my old colleagues at Jihad Watch chose to share and excerpt it:
And then there was this piece here from March which probably grabbed some attention:
Here is an excerpt of the article’s opening and three key paragraphs about Qatar:
Two Arab monarchies which remain steadfast in their refusal to recognize Israel’s right to exist have nonetheless dismissed a conspiratorial claim of Mossad false flag attacks against them alleged by far-right podcaster Tucker Carlson.
The dismissals of Carlson’s assertion came as the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) released a new report warning that the ongoing US-Israeli military operation against Iran “triggered an immediate online surge of antisemitic, anti-Zionist, and conspiratorial commentary that spanned the ideological spectrum.”
In a Monday video, Carlson asserted that it “hasn’t been reported, but it’s a fact that last night, in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, authorities arrested Mossad agents planning on committing bombings in those countries.”
Israel’s intelligence agency reportedly played a critical role in the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Tehran on Saturday, but there is no evidence to suggest Mossad agents were arrested this week for operations against Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
“Why would the Israelis be committing bombings in Gulf countries, which are also being attacked by Iran? Aren’t they on the same side?” Carlson asked, insisting that “Israel wants to hurt Iran, and Qatar, and the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain, and Oman, and Kuwait.”
Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) signed the Abraham Accords in September 2020 to normalize relations with Israel, and the three countries have enhanced ties since then.
On Tuesday, Majed Al-Ansari, a spokesman for the Qatari Foreign Ministry, responded to a reporter’s request to confirm Carlson’s claim. He refused to do so, answering he “has no information about any cells of the Israeli intelligence service Mossad at the moment.”
However, Qatar’s State Security Service separately announced the arrest of two cells it said were operating on behalf of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Here are three additional paragraphs from the article which may be relevant for understanding why Qatar state media decided to start keeping an eye on our efforts, my emphasis in bold:
Carlson has previously praised Qatar and its House of Thani monarchy, which has ruled the country since 1851. The former Fox News host announced on Dec. 7, 2025, that he had purchased property in the country, and dismissed charges that Qatari funding had influenced his turn toward anti-Israel commentary, speculations which had circulated among right-wing figures and earned him the epithet “Tucker Qatarlson,” popularized by conservative talk radio host Mark Levin and former far-right Florida congressional candidate Laura Loomer.
Interviewing Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani at the Doha Forum, Carlson said, “I have been criticized as being a tool of Qatar, and I just want to say, which you already know, which is I have never taken anything from your country and don’t plan to.”
Qatar has long aligned itself with Hamas and its ideological wellspring, the Muslim Brotherhood, providing a safe haven for the leadership of both organizations. Thani’s choice to support the revolutionary Islamist group and its terrorist wing in Gaza has exacerbated tensions with Saudi Arabia and the UAE, both which regard the Brotherhood as an existential threat.
Here is the video of Carlson’s interview with Qatar’s ruler in which the antisemitic podcaster made clear his sympathies with the regime which has provided nearly $2 billion to Hamas:
For generations now, the House of Thani has built a wall between Jews and Muslims. They’ve spent billions of dollars to do it. My friend Jordan Cope has become an expert in Qatar’s war against free societies. He published this analysis at The Jerusalem Post in February revealing Qatar’s efforts to subvert American higher education:
As reports now allege that Qatar’s influence footprint in US higher education might be billions of dollars greater than once thought, exposing Doha’s partnerships with American institutions remains crucial for national security, especially as Qatar continues to influence America’s youth and future.
Previously, American universities were believed to have received $6.25 billion from Qatar, largely to fund their satellite campuses in Qatar’s Education City. The Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) now reports that Qatar has invested upwards of $20 billion, almost three times the previously thought of amount, into US universities such as Cornell, Georgetown, Texas A&M, Carnegie Mellon, Virginia Commonwealth, and Brown.
Another study by ISGAP documents a correlation between increased antisemitism on campuses and the presence of funding from Qatar. A recent Harvard poll also suggests that nearly half of all Americans aged 18-24 support Hamas over Israel. Whether or not Qatari funding has fueled such sentiment is a question that should be analyzed.
Moving forward this year, many of these articles will be written as direct open letters to Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani or other top officials in the regime.
But I won’t be calling him “Your Highness.” The only “Your Highness” that this Psychedelic Zionist recognizes is the terrible 2011 stoner comedy staring Danny McBride and Natalie Portman.
No, it’s just going to be Mr. Al-Thani. Because it’s the 21st century now, not medieval times, and monarchism is not an ideology that anyone should be recognizing or respecting anymore. You want to see kings and queens? Go to DisneyLand.
Mr. Al-Thani, you are just a man like all the rest of us. You are not special because of the accident of your birth. You will end up the same way we all end up, as a pile of dust returning into the earth And so I will address you the same way I do as the budtender selling my my Aloha Haze at the dispensary, with a Sir or Mr.
You are just a man and so I say:
Mr. Al-Thani, Tear Down This Wall.
Mr. Al-Thani, Tear Down This Wall you have built between the Jewish people and the Muslim world.
Mr. Al-Thani, Tear Down This Wall you have built to protect the world’s worst Islamist terrorists.
Mr. Al-Thani, Tear Down This Wall you have built between Qatar and Israel. Join your Arab brothers in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Morocco. Bring your people into the Abraham Accords.
Mr. Al-Thani, Tear Down This Wall you have built between the children of your nation and the truth. Give them an education that is based on facts, not on lies and demonization of the Jewish people.
Mr. Al-Thani, Tear Down This Wall you have built preventing your people from knowing true freedom. The day will come — and I will see it even if my beard is long and gray — when all human beings on this planet will have their rights protected by their governments. The Constitution we know in America will one day become normative everywhere.
Someday everyone in the world will be free. Mr. Al-Thani, now is the time for choosing: will transform into you people’s liberator or will you remain their slavemaster keeping them in chains?
Hint: this is a rhetorical question. We already know the answer.
You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, “There is a price we will not pay.” “There is a point beyond which they must not advance.” And this - this is the meaning in the phrase of Barry Goldwater’s “peace through strength.”
Winston Churchill said, “The destiny of man is not measured by material computations. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we’re spirits - not animals.” And he said, “There’s something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.”
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny.
Just FYI, when a subscription source is listed, as it is here, as "substack sign up flow," I believe it means that they signed up as a result of a recommendation from a publication that has you on their recommended list and prompted the sign up when they subscribed to a different publication. So it's kind of like a batch of subscriptions all in one click.
