Something most people don’t know is how much Qatar invests into propaganda efforts in the west: https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/western-.... For example, it has a close relationship with Northwestern’s Medill school of Journalism, the top journalism school in the US: https://www.medill.northwestern.edu/about-us/our-locations/q....

Events like the World Cup are an effort to whitewash the Qatari monarchy, which isn’t any better or different than say Saudi.
