Dear John,

Might Qatar replace Israel as a US surrogate?

It could happen.

After sending 2,000 pound bombs to Israel, Trump bypassed Tel Aviv on his recent Middle East trip – being greeted with the signature Gulf state diplomacy – glitzy events and expensive promises. In what appeared to be a snub of Netanyahu, Trump visited Saudi Arabia and Qatar, where the latter offered to buy $200 million Boeing jets and gift Trump a $400 million luxury plane.

Both Republicans and Democrats, alike, are raising eyebrows at Trump’s pivot to Qatar, check-book diplomacy, with GOP hawks screaming that Qatar subsidizes Hamas and “What about Israel?!” while those protesting US-Israel genocide in Gaza wonder if there’s a ray of light in the darkness of bombardment and starvation.

Join us on CODEPINK Congress to unpack Trump’s Middle East trip, along with his side deals for the release of a US hostage in Gaza and the restart of the Iran nuclear deal

Take Action!

CNN: Learn Your History!



On May 14, the day before Nakba Day, CODEPINK LA, Artists Against Apartheid (AAA), and Entertainment Labor for Palestine (ELP) staged a teach-in outside CNN’s headquarters in Los Angeles. They confronted them about the violence CNN enables through their reporting. 

We need the media to start telling the truth instead of growing a toxic waste dump of lies that is drowning their own humanity. Let's teach CNN that the violence didn’t start on October 7th. Send a follow-up letter to CNN to make sure they hear our teaching!

Tell CNN: Learn your history! Don’t be a shill for zionist lies!
