The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Israel orders the US to treat Qatar as an enemy.

Bennett calls on Netanyahu to declare Qatar an enemy state, highlight Hamas support at UNGA


There you go again, spreading the myth that Israel controls U.S. policy. Who is Bennett, and who can he give orders to? Bennett is a bit player in the Israeli opposition to Netanyahu. The only order he can give is for his kids to be in bed by 9 o'clock.

In this context Bennett was taking a pre-election shot at Netanyahu, because one of the black marks on Netanyahu in the current election campaign is that he colluded with Qatar for years before Oct. 7 to make monthly cash payments of millions of dollars to Hamas.
