Qatar has also sponsored most of the US (Stimson and Brookings institute) think tanks and a lot of academia to gain these results, nobody dare mention them as the terrorist sponsoring nation that they are,
Thanks for sharing it on here, here are a bunch of other news and investigations including into Qatar's sponsoring of terrorism that the ilk of Al Jazeera won't ever mention :
[According to official US Committee on Foreign Affairs, Qatar has been known to be a permissive environment for terror financing, reportedly funding U.S. designated foreign terrorist organizations, such as Hamas, Al qaeda and ISIS, as well as several extremist groups operating in Syria. At least one high-ranking Qatari official provided support to the mastermind of the 9/11 terror attacks against our country, Khalid Sheikh Mohammad. Then, of course, there is Khalifa Mohammed, who is a U.S.-, EU-, and U.N.-designated international terrorist for his role in financing al-Qaeda and the 9/11 mastermind. In 2008, he was tried and convicted in absentia by Bahrain for his terrorist activity, and arrested later that year by Qatar only to be released by the Qataris 6 months later, and then openly financed by Doha. Can anyone guess what Khalifa Mohammed has been up to these days? He was implicated in terror financing activities in 2012, but more recently, he has been alleged to be financing and supporting terror in both Iraq and Syria with no response from the Qatari Government. Hamas leader, Khaled Meshaal, also made Doha his headquarters for years while the Qatari's--with the Qatari's Government support and even the Muslim Brotherhood has received significant support from Qatar. Of course, not all of this is supported by the government in Doha. Many individuals and charities in Qatar have been known to raise large sums of money for al-Qaeda, the Nusra front, Hamas, and even ISIS. In Qatar, there are three buckets: Terror financing by the government; terror financing done in Qatar through their own citizens that their government may not know about; and terror financing in Qatar that the government knows about but does nothing to stop. According to the 2015 country reports on terrorism, the State Department stated, ``Entities and individuals within Qatar continue to serve as a source of financial support for terrorists and violent extremist groups, particularly regional al-Qaeda affiliates such as the Nusra front.'' There is no excuse for openly harboring terrorist and supporting groups that seek to harm our allies, and the excuse by Qatar that it is harboring these nefarious actors is because the U.S. asked them to no longer stands up.](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CHRG-115hhrg26427/html/C...)

Funding a journalist spying and harassing mission by ex CIA operatives [£387m ex CIA spy project after global backlash against their 2022 hosting win Appointed to lead the intelligence gathering was US firm Global Risk Advisors (GRA), which is staffed by former members of US intelligence agencies and whose founder Kevin Chalker is a former CIA operative. “GRA proposes a strategic plan to return Qatar to a position of power and influence and proactively deter potential attacks,” said a GRA pitch document revealed in the SRF investigation. SRF said found that “victims were at the mercy of the agents spying on them. Their email accounts, computers, phones, friends, and even family members became targets of Qatar’s shadow warriors.” The investigation alleges that the SRF investigation shows that Switzerland was key to the Qatari intelligence operation.

It has always struck me as insane that the US is obsessed with foreign disinformation on twitter, while all its think tanks are bought of by foreign countries.
