    They have been accused of that and they have said they are not. Anyway, I see Qatar as more trying to play favorites to everyone and mostly maintain a neutral stance but clearly, they are biased more toward the Palestinian cause than the Israeli. Still, they are able to play the middleman, mediating conflicts.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar_and_state-sponsored_terrorism
    Qatar has been accused of allowing terror financiers to operate within its borders, which has been one of the justifications for the Qatar diplomatic crisis that started in 2017 and ended in 2021. In 2014, David S. Cohen, then United States Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, accused Qatari authorities of allowing financiers who were on international blacklists to live freely in the country: "There are U.S.- and UN-designated terrorist financiers in Qatar that have not been acted against under Qatari law."[1] Accusations come from a wide variety of sources including intelligence reports, government officials, and journalists.

    In response to these allegations, the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, in September 2014 went on US television to defend his government against claims that it harbors terrorist financiers. In an interview with Christiane Amanpour on CNN, the Emir stated he does not consider those organizations to be terrorists.[2][clarification needed]

    The Qatari government has a designated terrorist list.[3] According to The Telegraph, the list contained no names in 2014.[4] In July 2021, the list contained more than 550 people and 240 entities.[3] Qatar uses it to vet passengers flying internationally.[5] Despite Qatar's efforts to arraign prominent terrorist financiers, some designated terrorists and terrorist financiers lived with impunity in Qatar[4] until 2015.[5]

    Qatar has been accused of supporting Hamas, the Palestinian group designated as a terrorist organization by the US and western European countries.[6] Qatar denies these allegations, stating that it does not support Hamas' political position, and that its policy is to help facilitate constructive engagement between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority.[7]

    In 2004, 2010, 2014, and 2017, the Qatari government introduced new anti-terror laws to combat terrorism, terrorism financing and related crimes.[5][8] In 2019 the Qatari government introduced a new anti-money laundering and counter terror financing laws.[9]

    Alright, but an easily checked misleading tweet doesn’t show that.

    But how about an enraging 8-second video clip that will definitely persuade you that I know what I'm talking about?
