The Jerusalem Post: From Zionism To Qatarism 

At a time when Israel is fighting for its very survival, it appears that the threats aren't just external.

After it has been exposed that Editor in Chief of the Jerusalem Post Zvika Klein is also involved in Qatar-gate, serious questions arise with regards to the paper's journalistic independence, media ethics, and alleged foreign involvment in manufacturing a pro-arab discourse.

Perhaps now we can understand how Qatar's money helped turn what used to be a trusted brand name into a far-left tabloid.

Perhaps now the Editor in chief who allegedly works for Qatar - should just call his paper "The Doha Post"?.

Klein, a well-known journalist, recently traveled to Qatar as a guest of the Qatari government – a regime linked to terrorist financing and hostile regional agendas with so much Jewish blood on its hands.

Following his visit – reportedly funded by Qatari sources – he began publishing notably favorable coverage of the country. The tone? Positive, even promotional. The line between reporting and public relations became, allegedly, very blurry.

But there’s more. Klein, along with Jonathan Urich and Eli Feldstein – all of whom previously served in the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit – now appear to form a potentially significant conduit for Qatari influence in Israel, allegedly shaping public opinion in ways that serve foreign interests.

Could the IDF’s communications wing have become fertile ground for foreign recruitment, albeit unofficially? The question, though speculative, deserves attention. Also central to this unfolding story is Jay Footlik, a senior U.S. lobbyist working officially on behalf of Qatar.

So the uncomfortable question arises: Has The Jerusalem Post – once a proud, Zionist-leaning publication – allegedly become a vehicle for foreign propaganda? And could the paper’s leftward ideological shift in recent years be, at least in part, the result of such influence?

The press exists to serve the public – not foreign governments, not lobbyists, and not shadowy interests. If major outlets are allegedly being influenced in exchange for access or funding, this represents a serious danger to democracy.

What Jew could ever trust this newspaper again? What Israeli could possibly see it as credible, after its editor allegedly indulged in Qatari luxuries?

Does this explain the newspaper’s leftward shift? Its attacks on Trump? Its allegedly “neutral” editorial line?

How can anyone criticize leftist media, leftist campuses, or Qatari influence on both – when Israel’s former leading Jewish English-language newspaper is allegedly taking money from Qatar, for heaven’s sake? How can we condemn Qatari funding at Columbia or Yale while it’s infiltrating the computer screens of Jews around the world?

It's time to stop looking the other way. The hard questions must be asked – not to target individuals, but to protect the integrity of the media and the trust of the public.
