‘Are You Ready to Die for Qatar?’ Conservatives Rage Over Trump Pledge to Defend Terror Sponsor

President Donald Trump signed an executive order — publicized on Wednesday — to give Qatar, the wealthy Gulf nation that has long hosted Hamas leadership, security guarantees backed up by the United States earlier this year.

“Over the years, the United States and the State of Qatar have been bound together by close cooperation, shared interests, and the close relationship between our armed forces,” reads the order. “In recognition of this history, and in light of the continuing threats to the State of Qatar posed by foreign aggression, it is the policy of the United States to guarantee the security and territorial integrity of the State of Qatar against external attack.”

“The United States shall regard any armed attack on the territory, sovereignty, or critical infrastructure of the State of Qatar as a threat to the peace and security of the United States,” it continued.

A number

of conservatives were more than a little miffed by the announcement of the defense pact in light of the longstanding accusations Qatar aids and abets Islamic terrorism, as well as its dismal human rights record.

“Our new protectorate, Qatar,” mused Fox News’ Mark Levin. “If the leadership of Hamas in Qatar is killed by Israel, are we going to war with Israel?  Wouldn’t it have been better to condition any military defense of Qatar on some basic requirements?  For example: turnover the Hamas leaders; no more funding of terrorists worldwide: no more funding of Marxist-Islamist groups in the United States. This is the bare minimum.”

“I’m sure Qatarlson and the other Qatarites and assorted grifters and bigots will denounce a deal that ostensibly commits our children to fight for Qatar,” he added later in a dig aimed at Tucker Carlson.

“By the way, there is no similar guarantee for Israel. American troops have never died for Israel. Are you ready to die for Qatar?” asked popular X personality Max Nordau.

“The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing American political elites that Qatar was somehow our friend. It helps that the Devil has a whole lot of money to throw around,” suggested Mike Coté.

“Qatar — the same country tied to the Sept. 11 mastermind, whose state media portrays President Trump as Satan, and who backs a terror group that murdered dozens of Americans — just

got a big fat security guarantee from Trump himself. What can I say? It’s super messed up,” wrote Eitan Fischberger.

“You’re going to have a hard time convincing me that Qatar doesn’t own both parties at this point,” commented RedState’s Bonchie.
