Who loves Hamas? After Hamas jihadis murdered 1,200 Israelis on Oct. 7, growing numbers of leftists do. Can we now add the Empire State Building to the list?
The iconic New York landmark announced on X Sunday: “Tonight from midnight until sunrise, we will shine in burgundy and white to celebrate Qatar National Day.” Back in 2016, Qatar shelled out $622 million to buy 9.9 percent of the Empire State Building, and so if the building’s managers wants to honor one their principal shareholders, that’s their business. The timing in this case, however, is particularly ghastly, and raises questions about the propriety of having not-quite-friendly states owning a piece of American landmarks.
It was just over two months ago, on Oct. 7, that Hamas leaders including its top leaders Ismail Haniyeh and Khaled Mashal and others, were caught on video happily watching news of the Hamas massacres in Israel, and then prostrating themselves in prayers of gratitude to Allah for the killing of Jews. They were in a plush office in Doha, the capital of Qatar.
Hamas’ “Political Bureau,” as opposed to its military, i.e. terrorist, wing, has been located in Doha since 2012. Haniyeh and Mashal live not in Gaza, but in sumptuous digs in Doha. Reuters reported that “a bipartisan group of 113 U.S. lawmakers on Oct. 16 sent a letter to President Joe Biden asking him to put pressure on countries who support Hamas, including Qatar. They asked that Qatar, a major non-NATO U.S. ally and a channel for U.S. dialogue with the Taliban since a U.S. pullout from Afghanistan, to expel Hamas leadership. ‘The country’s links to Hamas…are simply unacceptable,’ the letter said.”
It is emblematic of the Biden regime’s America-Last leadership that the principal response to that letter appears to be the lighting of the Empire State Building in Qatar’s colors for its national day. What’s more, Qatar never should have been allowed to buy a piece of the Empire State Building in the first place. Investigative journalist Daniel Greenfield reminds us of what the 9/11 Commission Report said about Qatar’s role in the 9/11 jihad attacks. The Commission noted that one of the key masterminds of the attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, like Haniyeh and Mashal, lived in Qatar.
Even worse, the 9/11 Commission report states that “the U.S. Attorney obtained an indictment against KSM in January 1996, but an official in the government of Qatar probably warned him about it. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed evaded capture (and stayed at large to play a central part in the 9/11 attacks).” ABC News reported in 2003 that in the 1990s, the FBI and CIA came extremely close to capturing Mohammed, but “he was protected and tipped off by a member of the royal family in Qatar, Abdullah Bin Khalid al-Thani.”
Now that the heat is on, Qatari officials have signaled that they are, in Reuters’ words, “open to reconsidering the presence of Hamas in Qatar.” That’s wonderful, but the Qatari government’s aid to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is a spectacular indication of which side that government is really on. As if that weren’t enough, Qatar is also a key supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood.
A captured internal document details the Muslim Brotherhood’s plan for the U.S.: “The Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”
It’s a strange idea that the unbelievers would sabotage their own house. But when the Empire State Building lit up for Qatar’s National Day, that idea came more clearly into focus. Qatar has bought its way into the Empire State Building and no doubt a great deal more, and thereby blunted the force of any criticism it might incur for favoring the forces of the global jihad. The proprietors of the Empire State Building and numerous other properties and businesses in America today have economic reasons for looking the other way as Haniyeh and Mashal kneel down in Doha to thank Allah for the massacre of Israelis. The bottom line dictates that they see nothing, as long as the cash keeps rolling in.
Well, that’s the American Way, isn’t it? But if the entire nation behaves as if only the bottom line matters in the end, there won’t be any nation at all for very much longer.

Yeah, interesting timing to honor Gutter. No foreign citizen, company, country or other entity should be allowed to own property in America but Houthistan is a particularly obscene example.
I’ll bet the Empire State Building has multiple Islamic prayer rooms.
Charlie Hall says
The US has never forbidden non-citizens from owning property. For example, free Black people owned property before they became citizens. Many of our largest corprations have substantial or even majority foreign ownership — do you ever buy gasoline from Citgo, BP, or Shell? There is no way that the stock markets can police the nationality of stock purchasers.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, I know and I wish it weren’t so. Even the Mexicans are smart enough to prevent foreigners from owning land, and they aren’t known for their intelligence. I can’t think of any Islamic countries which do, either, and they’re renowned for their stupidity, except for Iran. Most Iranians are intelligent. It’s the leaders who are stupid.

Islam has been the depraved psychopathic murderous scourge of humanity for 1400 years.
Enough already.

There is more than one way for terrorists to take down a building or a nation.
Annie45 says
On the same day December 18 that NYC celebrated Muslim terrorist-
supporting Qatar’s ‘National Day’ by lighting up the Empire State
Building with their nation’s colors – Palestinian protestors massively
demonstrated at New York City’s transit hubs: Port Authority, Grand
Central Terminal and Penn Station. They marched by the thousands
through the city united in Jew hatred and Muslim insurgency.
In Penn Station, they harassed both station employees and travellers.
They knelt in prayer on their prayer rugs in everybody’s way. They
frequently shouted Allahu Akbar. All while the lights of Qatar beamed
down on them – and on the Americans the Muslims hope to eventually
subdue.
Merry Christmas to all. May God save America from Globalists and Islam.

Sorry to be so negative but the signs that the USA is now cursed and on the roller coaster to the Hot Place are multiplying. Sodomy, Abortion , Socialism, Satanism, Treason and Islam are continuing to take over our once beautiful and strong country. The President is a demented lunatic in addition to being a total puppet of the most destructive gang of traitors since 1776. The Democrats are supporting every kind of destruction that they can find. They stole the election the last time. This time they are trying to eliminate the opposition and working to jail or kill Trump, the people’s choice to run against the Zombie Biden. The country is bankrupt. The Dollar is on its last legs. The land borders are open and unwatched. The Demunists are gutting the military and everything else they can do to weaken the USA. They are turning our children into little non binary homosexuals. School board chairpeople are sworn in on a stack of child porn. The morons that are running the war in Ukraine are doing everything they can to start a nuclear war with Russia short of nuking them. Caputski.

America was behind 911…
Why?
To implement the “fake War on Terrorism…
Why?
To spread satanic worshiping muslims across the world… under the guise of persecution…
satanic islam is the NWO Beast System…
Jeff Bargholz says
Seek mental therapy, you nut-job.
sumsrent says
The 7 year Tribulation begins with Israel signing a Peace Treaty. Who do you suppose Israel needs a Peace Treaty with?
The 3 Attributes of the Beast System is…
1) Government… Sharia Law
2) Religion… satanic islam
3) Financial Banking System… Sharia Finance
Whereas the world banking system and the IMF have already set up Sharia Finance… in place and waiting to be implemented…
Now Jeff… name a government in this world that has all 3 attributes…
Jeff Bargholz says
Name what anti-psychosis drugs you need.
sumsrent says
Everything taking place in this world revolves around setting satanic islam up as the One World Islamic Economic System…
SPURWING PLOVER says
Biden id going to becomes Americas #1 Woest Presidents while him and the Jackass tun right off the cliff
Jeff Bargholz says
Going to? We’re already off the cliff and plummeting to the jagged rocks below. Beijing Biden has stage four Alzheimer’s but he has no compunctions against helping his handlers destroy this country.
And expect even worse vote fraud and cheating next November than in 2016.
When will enough be enough? My bet is Americans will bend over and take it again. For God’s sake, jihadis and Kaffir quislings are rioting wherever they can with impunity. Decent Americans have conviction but no will and no courage.
