The Zionist state in Israel has bombed Qatar. It is just the latest expansion of its war of annexation of the region, backed by US imperialism, designed to substantially increase the geographic size of Israel, so as to create a more viable state, but also, to be able to dominate a regional politico-economic bloc, as set out in the Abraham Accords. The idea that the US/Trump did not know it was going to undertake this attack is ridiculous.
As other commentators have noted, the underlying message of Trump's statement after the attack, in which he set out his agreement with the idea of taking out Hamas' leadership – even though they were in Doha discussing his supposed peace proposals – but that he was unhappy about the location of the attack, is that, had it been successful, he would have been boasting about his involvement in it. The obfuscation of Trump and his press spokesperson, Caroline Leavitt, about who knew what and when, speaks volumes. The idea that Netanyahu would launch such an attack without having the backing of Trump, on whom he depends, as both become leaders of isolated rogue states, is not tenable. If Trump really was upset about the attack, he could respond by stopping the supply of US weapons to the Zionist state. But, of course, he, as well as Starmer, and other European governments are not going to do that, because, in the words of German Chancellor Merz, the Zionists are doing their dirty work for them.
The Zionists had to fly further to attack Doha than they did to attack Tehran, so the idea that they could have done this without the US, and its extensive forces and allies in the area knowing about it is, also, inconceivable, even if they had not been involved in it well before. When Iran attacked the US airbase in Qatar following the US bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities, the US, despite much less warning, was able to shoot down most of the incoming missiles. They would have had more than enough time to track and destroy the Zionist attack on Doha. But, even before that, the US has extensive intelligence operations across the globe, including inside the Zionist state, its military and so on. If they did not know about it, what does it say about the competence of those intelligence agencies. That is before we even mention the US control over global telecommunications and internet systems.
No, its clear that the US and Trump knew about this attack in advance, and simply waited to see if it was successful before determining their response to it. As with the bombing of the Iranian nuclear facilities, it shows that for all Trump's talk about the Democrats involvement in forever wars, he has been captured by the US state, and is himself becoming the vehicle for such US involvement.
The blatant nature of the Zionist attack has put their western allies in somewhat of a public relations bind, as global opposition to the genocide being conducted by the Zionist state grows by the day. The UK is, of course, marked by its own sheer hypocrisy as it proscribes Palestine Action for opposing the genocide, and arrests hundreds of grannies for having the temerity to protest that decision, whilst the day after the Zionist bombing hosts the President of Israel, who ought to be arrested the minute his feet touched the ground, and remanded to stand trial for war crimes in the Hague!
The media has tried to minimise the coverage of the bombing, and the coverage instead of the Polish interception of Russian drones just inside its territory has been blown up out of all proportion, to distract attention. There is not any suggestion, even from NATO or Poland that Russia had targeted Poland with these drones. Why would it? It is winning its war in Eastern Ukraine, but only very slowly. Why would it, then, even consider the possibility of stretching its forces even further into an all out war with NATO? On the contrary, with the US lukewarm even in its support for Ukraine, and the EU split, and presenting only a “coalition of the whistling” it would be crazy for Russia to engage in such a provocation. Far more likely that this relatively small number of drones, out of the near 1,000 it is now sending into Ukraine a day, either were shot down inside Ukraine and landed in Poland, malfunctioned, or else were deliberately sent off course by Ukrainian/NATO electronic jamming.
The simple question of who benefits, here, provides the most obvious answer.
