US Welcomes Qatar Air Force to Idaho, Not Gaza
The Pentagon is thrilled the Qatar Emiri Air Force will soon train in Boise. This comes years after the US pledged to defend Qatar under a 2017 executive order. Meanwhile, Palestinians, displaced for decades and currently facing bombardment from US-supplied weapons, are still searching for a safe haven—not a new airbase—let alone a state, as promised and reneged on countless times since the 1948
Nakba. Doha, it seems, has far more friends in Washington than does Gaza. This isn't just about Qatar; it's about the steady march of military expansion and geopolitical 'alliances' that prioritize strategic assets over human rights. While the US sells arms and facilities, the media rarely connects these deals to the human cost of such robust, selective 'friendships.' Funny how billions flow for
air bases, but aid for those under siege is always a 'complex issue.' One might ask, where's Idaho for the displaced of Gaza?
