Israel just bombed Doha, Qatar

[Anonymous]

This has been lost in the shuffle but apparently Israel did not inform the US until after the missiles were fired.

Why didn't the US military shoot the missiles down. What is the point of having a US military base in your country if they allow bombing of your country. There's no protection at all.

It cost billions to shoot down missiles and the Iranian told us when and where the missiles were coming. Still many got through. Israel set Trump up. Think Israel has attacked 5 different countries in the past few days without telling the US. Bibi used Trump to bomb Iran and now has cut the US out.

Bottom line Israel knows Trump has no clue what is going on and can easily be controlled. Same with Putin. They know who Trump is and are acting accordingly. So much for being a super power.

It's clear that Israel wants America out of the Gulf and to take over the oil and gas.

Gulf Powers Question U.S. Protection After Israeli Attack on Qatari Soil
The brazen attempt to kill the political leaders of Hamas in Doha could upend the foundations of an American-led order in the Middle East
Qatar hosts the largest American military base in the Middle East, has bought billions of dollars worth of defense systems from the United States and recently gifted a luxury Boeing jet to President Trump.

Yet on Tuesday, none of that stopped Israel, a key U.S. ally, from launching a brazen military attack on Qatari soil. It was an attempt to assassinate senior Hamas officials who had gathered to discuss a cease-fire proposal to pause the war in Gaza — a deal that was backed by Mr. Trump.

“Qatar being unable to protect its own citizens with literally the U.S. Central Command on its territory has prompted locals to question the value of the American partnership,” said Kristin Diwan, a senior resident scholar at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington, a research group. “It’s a real problem for Gulf leaders. And it should worry the United States as well.”

Bet they kick the US out and bring in the Chinese. Word is CIA and US military supplied location and target information for Israel. Israel has that much control.

It's so funny that Trump has this tough-guy persona which is constantly emasculated by Netanyahu.

Or…

The US and presumably some other Arab allies are quietly working with Israel to deal with Hamas once and for all.

Israel has attack 6 countries in 72 hours, that is wild!

Gaza, Qatar, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, Tunisia. Go back just a few months and we could add Iran to the list.

Is the goal here some type of world war? I get that these are some of the weaker ME countries, but they have allies as well.

Are you seriously still sending out talking points that Hamas is some grand fighting force? It's a rag-tag militia compared to one of the greatest military's in the world that is using Gaza to become war ready to take over the entire Middle East and its wealth. Just STFU. If Hamas was that great, I don't think Israel would have been able to commit a genocide. Israelis are not really known for their bravery or strength.

Was Hamas in that flotilla aid boat Israel bombed at sea in Tunisia? Hamas and 10/7 is a blanket excuse for Israel to go for what they always wanted: Greater Israel. This time they’re bombing countries instead of asking us to do it.

Of course. Why would the US support bombing Qatar-a country with a U.S. military base? Israel is bold enough to do this and expect no consequence. Technically, bombing Qatar is an act of war against the US because of our base there. They put our soldiers and negotiators there in danger.

Bottom line = Hamas are targets no matter where they are - in, under, or outside Gaza. It's a simple concept.

Israel has no fear of the current administration and is acting with their full support. They will bomb whomever and whenever they want. They will say “Hamas” and not even worry about it. They have been waiting a very long time for this.

I thought it was the bombs dropped from planes, which would mean that several countries, most importantly Saudi, allowed this to happen.

What they have been waiting for is a cessation of decades of Palestinians hostilities. Having concluded that further waiting is not going to change future Palestinian behavior, a different approach is now well underway to achieve the desired end result.
