I can point to a laundry list of atrocities committed by US. Should Qatar refuse to host US? Qatar is not a western country, there is no reason to expect it to buy into western exceptionalism. This is not to defend Hamas but simply to point out that the western double standard doesn’t reach much beyond Europe.

It’s why Doha is publicly debating shutting down Hamas’ political office.
