Qatar bankrolls antisemitism while Israel battles terror; Arab regimes weaponize money as their primary export.
A bombshell report from the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) has revealed that the Qatari regime funneled an astonishing $20 billion into American universities, schools, and cultural networks to spread Islamist ideology across the United States. The findings, reported by the New York Post, expose a sweeping campaign aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood’s long-term strategy to erode Western stability from within.
ISGAP’s executive director, Dr. Charles Asher Small, stated unequivocally that Qatar’s rulers—who openly uphold a Bay’ah (spiritual oath) to the Muslim Brotherhood—deliberately used “soft power” to infiltrate U.S. educational institutions on a massive scale.
“They’re pumping in many billions to promote their ideology,” Small warned.
This ideological offensive was executed primarily through the Qatar Foundation, funded directly by Doha’s royal family, which has spent years positioning itself as a patron of Western academia—while pushing a worldview hostile to democratic values and openly sympathetic to extremist narratives.
Cornell University: $10 Billion and a Rising Campus Crisis
Shockingly, half of the entire $20 billion—$10 billion—went to Cornell University, one of the Ivy League institutions now facing intense scrutiny for its handling of skyrocketing antisemitism after the October 7 Hamas massacre.
Incidents on campus reveal how deeply embedded these ideological networks have become:
- A Cornell student was arrested after threatening to kill Jews.
- Professor Russell Rickford praised the Hamas atrocities as “exhilarating” and “energizing,” sparking national outrage.
- Cornell later scrambled to secure a deal with the Trump administration restoring over $250 million in federal funding, ending federal discrimination investigations and revealing the political fallout of its campus culture.
MSA and SJP: Qatar-Funded Activist Machinery
The ISGAP report highlights that the Muslim Students Association (MSA)—active on hundreds of campuses—receives support via Qatari channels. MSA works hand-in-glove with Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), forming a potent ideological bloc advancing Muslim Brotherhood-aligned objectives:
- Campus radicalization
- Anti-Israel agitation
- Antisemitic normalization disguised as “activism”
These organizations have become staging grounds for some of the most aggressive anti-Israel and anti-Jewish rhetoric in the country.
Qatar’s Covert Intelligence Efforts Reach Into Europe
Qatar’s influence campaign extends beyond campuses.
The Guardian revealed that Doha paid a London-based intelligence outfit to smear the woman accusing International Criminal Court chief prosecutor Karim Khan of sexual harassment.
These private operatives:
- Dug into the woman’s personal life
- Targeted her family—including her child
- Sought to fabricate links to Israel
The victim described the operation as “disturbing,” “incomprehensible,” and “heartbreaking”—a chilling window into Qatar’s willingness to deploy harassment and intimidation to protect its geopolitical interests.
The Pattern Is Unmistakable
Qatar—host to Hamas leadership, financier of Islamist networks, patron of propaganda outlets like Al-Jazeera—has used its vast wealth to inject instability into Western institutions while posing publicly as a “moderator.”
This report confirms what Israel and counterterrorism experts have warned for years:
- Qatar funds extremism abroad
- Qatar launders influence through education
- Qatar targets those who expose its crimes
- And while Israel fights terror with transparency, Arab regimes export ideology and corruption disguised as diplomacy
