Protest at MIA againt Qatar's Harboring Hamas Leaders

Join other concerned citizens to protest near Qatar Airways at MIA on Sunday, December 3rd from 3:00 to 7:00 PM. The government of Qatar is complicit in harboring Hamas leadership and financing the terrorist organization. We demand that Qatar turn over these war criminals to face justice for their role in the October 7th massacre of 1200 innocent Israelis and the kidnapping of 240 civilians from over 40 nations. Hamas' three top leaders have a net worth of over $11 billion. While Gazans live in poverty, the leadership and their families are holed up in the Four Seasons in Doha. Qatar owns and operates Al-Jazeera, which Hamas uses to spread their propaganda to over 150 countries. The demonstration is planned to be peaceful, with posters and speech expressing our opinions and call for action.
