Qatar donated $250,000 to some of the most extreme pro-Israel
\norganizations in the United States, including one that funds senior
\nIsraeli military officers to go on propaganda tours.<\/p>\n

Joseph Allaham, a lobbyist working for the Qatari government,
\ntransferred the money through his firm Lexington Strategies in late 2017
\n and early 2018.<\/p>\n

The sums included $100,000 to the Zionist Organization of America
\n(ZOA), $100,000 to Our Soldiers Speak and $50,000 for Blue Diamond
\nHorizons, Inc.<\/p>\n

\nNational Police dispatch senior officers to select campuses overseas\u201d
\nand to give \u201cbriefings\u201d to members of the US Congress.<\/p>\n

Blue Diamond Horizons is a company controlled<\/a> by Mike Huckabee<\/a>, the Christian Zionist former governor of Arkansas.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
