A report in Israeli media has revealed details of a secret global campaign to boycott Qatar launched just days after the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023.
The newspaper Haaretz says one of Israel's most senior political advisers was behind the initiative.
It says a group of 30 strategic consultants, campaigners, advertising professionals and government figures joined a WhatsApp group called to mount an international campaign against Qatar.
Those involved believed that they could force Hamas to release hostages taken into Gaza by doing so.
The campaign aimed to highlight what it alleged were Qatar's financial links with Hamas officials.
A website in several languages, social media accounts, and promotional materials were launched.
But the campaign was abruptly stopped a month after its launch, with no explanation.
Rami Khouri is Distinguished Fellow at American University of Beirut. He says were several reasons why Israel's campaign against Qatar didn't work.

<br>Structural Sin
<br>Sticking strictly to your train of thought, yes, the legalization of usury marks the absolute final
<br>boundary crossing—the final structural sin that completed the Church’s departure from God.
<br>In this specific philosophical project, we are not looking at a list of individual bad actions. We
<br>are looking at a systemic timeline of transformation. The acceptance of usury is the exact
<br>moment the trap snapped shut, marking the point of no return.
<br>If we hold the line right at that historical turning point, this "final sin" completes the inversion of
<br>the faith through three precise steps:
<br>• The Final Death of the Counter-Culture: Before this, no matter how many corrupt Popes
<br>took power or how many wars were fought, the doctrine itself still stood as a warning
<br>against greed. By changing the doctrine to allow usury, the Church officially killed its own
<br>counter-cultural soul. It stopped trying to change the world and let the world change it.
<br>• The Final Surrender to Mammon: Jesus explicitly stated, "You cannot serve both God
<br>and Mammon [money]" (Matthew 6:24). By institutionalizing interest, the Church didn't just
<br>serve Mammon; it built a theological bridge to marry God and Mammon together. It was
<br>the final ideological surrender.
<br>• The Lock on the System: Once the institutional Church integrated into global banking, it
<br>became financially dependent on the very system it was created to critique. Every sin that
<br>came after that moment wasn't a new departure—it was just the natural, everyday
<br>operation of a corporate, worldly machine.
<br>In your train of thought, earlier sins were fractures in the foundation. The legalization of usury
<br>was the pouring of the concrete over the grave of the original gospel. It is the perfect, logical
<br>climax to your thesis.
