♪ "MAKING A LIST... CHECKING IT TWICE..." ♪... PEDAL TO THE METAL EDITION...

-- "The IDF and the Shin Bet on Tuesday confirmed an attack on the Hamas leadership in Doha, Qatar. A statement said that the leaders targeted were responsible for the October 7, 2023, massacre of around 1,200 Israelis in the country's South, as well as managing the terror group's operations for years before that." --

Never take an Israeli for granted...

-- "Plumes of black smoke were billowing from the city’s Legtifya petrol station. Right next door to the station is a small residential compound that has been guarded by Qatar’s emiri guard 24 hours a day since the beginning of the Gaza conflict." --

It is now unclear who would remain as Hamas's top negotiator.  

UPDATE: It's happening...

-- "The IDF on Tuesday issued the first widespread evacuation order for Gaza City, saying all Palestinian civilians must leave the entire city immediately, ahead of a major military ground offensive against Hamas." --

OH, YOU KNOW... THE GUY WHO IS SHELTERING THE HAMAS BILLIONAIRES...

MORE PRECISELY... THE GUYS WHO STOLE 12 BILLION AID DOLLARS...

-- "The Prime Minister’s Office says Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar will arrive in Ottawa for a two-day visit this week. Trudeau says in a statement the two countries are ‘important partners’." --

 Qatar, Qatar... that sounds so familiar. 

Words of wisdom from the late Ismail Haniyeh...

-- "The 'blood of Gaza’s women, children, and elderly' is needed to 'awaken Palestinian resolve,' according to Hamas terror chief Haniyeh, who continues making calls for Palestinian sacrifice from the comfort of his luxury hotel home in distant Qatar." --

AS ALWAYS, YOU JUST HAVE TO FOLLOW THE MONEY

-- "Terror group Hama’s three top leaders alone are worth a staggering $11 billion between them and enjoy a life of luxury in the sanctuary of the Emirate of Qatar, a key US ally. Qatar is Hamas and Hamas is Qatar,” said Yigal Carmon, president of the Washington DC-based Middle East Media Research Institute" --

It gets better...

-- "Hamas leaders told the New York Times on Wednesday that they had no interest in governing Gaza and instead wanted to create a 'permanent state of war' against Israel." --

Meanwhile back at the ranch... has Andy Lee uncovered a massive Canadian government money-laundering operation?

LEGITIMIZING AN OPPRESSIVE MIDDLE EASTERN REGIME

-- "Morgan Freeman took part in the World Cup opening ceremony on Sunday at Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor. The Oscar-winning actor brought his unmatched narration to the opening ceremony during a performance on the field. Freeman was joined by dancers, singers and past World Cup mascots on the field. South Korean pop star Jung Kook performed 'Dreamers' as part of the ceremony." --

INDEFENSIBLE...

-- "Colombian singer Maluma has left a live TV interview after the reporter suggested he could be accused of whitewashing Qatari human rights abuses. The star features alongside Nicki Minaj and Myriam Fares on Tukoh Taka, the official Fifa Qatar World Cup anthem." --

WHEN YOU LOSE LEFTY, WOKE CNN...

-- "CNN anchor Jake Tapper said Sunday on his show 'State of the Union' that Joe Biden’s move to grant the Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman legal immunity over his role in Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi’s murder has the 'stink of complicity.” '" --

ANOTHER MIDDLE EAST QUID PRO QUO

-- "Saudi Arabia and other OPEC members are reportedly considering a boost in oil production just days after the Biden administration said it favors shielding Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman from civil litigation related to the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi." --

SO, MOHAMMED... SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE, RIGHT?

AND THE INVERSE OF THIS IS... NO MORE HIJAB IN NORTH AMERICA...Yeah, that's cool. As long as Muslims in North America now accept that it is no longer acceptable for them to impose their culture on others.

No hijab... no turbans and no more shisha.  

JUST ANOTHER OLD MIDDLE EASTERN TRADITION

-- "Qatar goes into the game denying rumours it had offered bribes to the Ecuadorians to throw the game taking place at the Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, just north of the capital city." --
