Znany katarski dziennikarz Abdullah Al-Amadi, były doradca katarskiego ministra edukacji i były zastępca redaktora naczelnego katarskiej gazety rządowej „Al-Sharq”, często publikuje w w „Al-Sharq” oraz na swoim koncie X treści antysemickie oraz nawołuje do terroryzmu i przemocy wobec Żydów i Izraelczyków.
Na przykład 22 maja 2025 r., dzień po zamordowaniu dwojga pracowników ambasady Izraela przed w Capital Jewish Museum w Waszyngtonie, zamieścił na swoim koncie X post zachęcający do przeprowadzania kolejnych takich ataków w krajach arabskich utrzymujących stosunki dyplomatyczne z Izraelem: „Wyobraźcie sobie, gdzie byliby syjoniści, gdyby pojawił się Egipcjanin Rodriguez, Jordańczyk, Emiratczyk, czwarty z Bahrajnu i piąty z Maroka?” [1] Post został usunięty wkrótce po jego opublikowaniu.

Po opublikowaniu przez MEMRI powyższego raportu, cytującego wpis Al-Amadiego na X, 25 maja wyjaśnił on na X: „Jestem oskarżany o ciągłe podżeganie do nienawiści do Żydów”, argumentując, że oskarżenie jest bezpodstawne, a on sam jest oczerniany, ponieważ jego wypowiedzi są skierowane jedynie „przeciwko syjonistycznym Żydom, których ręce są splamione krwią niewinnych ludzi w Gazie” [2].
Pomimo tych zaprzeczeń, MEMRI przez lata monitorowało i publikowało liczne oświadczenia i artykuły Al-Amadiego w „Al-Sharq” i na X, które są przepełnione jawnie antysemickimi treściami i nawoływaniem do przemocy wobec Żydów i Izraelczyków. W artykułach tych chwalił atak Hamasu na Izrael z 7 października i wyrażał nadzieję na upadek państwa izraelskiego.
W jednym ze swoich artykułów Al-Amadi stwierdził, że nie ma różnicy między syjonistami a Żydami, [3] a każdemu, kto twierdził, że muzułmanie nie mają żadnych sporów z Żydami, odpowiadał: „Tak, mamy”. W innym artykule stwierdził, że według Koranu Żydzi są wrogo nastawieni do muzułmanów i pozostaną tacy aż do Dnia Sądu, a w jeszcze innym twierdził, że uraza i nienawiść są zakorzenione w przebiegłych, oszukańczych Żydach, którzy łamią wszystkie porozumienia.
W sprawie ataku Hamasu na Izrael z 7 października 2023 r. – w którym zamordowano około 1200 osób, a 251 wzięto jako zakładników – napisał, że był to dzień, w którym Allah upokorzył Izrael, dodając, że koniec Izraela jest bliski. Określając atak jako historyczny punkt zwrotny, który uratował honor narodu muzułmańskiego, który, jak powiedział, jest w ciągłym konflikcie z cywilizacją zachodnią, argumentował, że tylko za pomocą większej liczby takich ataków Izrael zostanie powstrzymany i wezwał do wyzwolenia „całej Palestyny od przedsięwzięcia syjonistów-krzyżowców i oczyszczenia terytorium ze wszelkiego brudu i skażenia synów Syjonu”.
Warto zauważyć, że w artykule w „Al-Sharq” z początku maja Al-Amadi, który sprzeciwia się również normalizacji stosunków między Izraelem a kilkoma krajami arabskimi, wezwał do zakazu wjazdu do krajów arabskich i muzułmańskich wszystkim „pro-syjonistycznym Żydom”. Dodał, że trzeba sprawić, by każdy Żyd, który znajduje się w którymkolwiek z tych krajów, odczuwał ciągły strach o swoje życie.

Al-Amadi In Antisemitic Column In 2020: We Have A Problem With The Jews, And There Is No Difference Between Jews And Zionists
In a December 10, 2020 column in the Qatari government daily Al-Sharq, against the backdrop of the signing of the normalization agreements between Israel and several Arab countries, Al-Amadi stated that the Quran mentions a historic truth about the Jews, namely that they are hostile to the Muslims and will remain so until the Day of Judgement.
He wrote: „When some people say we have no [quarrel] with the Jews, we say to them: Yes, we do. And when they say there is a difference between Jews and Zionists, we say that there is not. In fact, the Jews are most hostile to the believers [i.e. the Muslims], and that is not something we say, it is in the Quran, which we shall recite until Judgement Day.
„Perhaps today it seems as though there is a difference between the Jews and the Zionists, so much so that sometimes one is almost inclined to be lenient with those who display their Judaism but oppose Zionism. But the fact is… that there is little difference between the two groups. It is no simple thing to ignore the historical truth and claim the opposite of what is stated clearly and explicitly in the Quran. If we understand [the Quran] and internalize its directives and its truth regarding the nations and the kinds of people who surround us, it will not be difficult to understand our current relations with the other nations, such as the hypocrites and the Jews.”[4] (See MEMRI Inquiry and Analysis No. 1634, Antisemitism And Holocaust Denial In Qatari Press, April 28, 2022.)
Al-Amadi In May 2025 Column: A Pro-Zionist Jew In An Arab Country Should Feel Constant Fear For His Life
In a May 1, 2025 column in Al-Sharq, Abdullah Al-Amadi wrote: „We must act in every manner and by every possible means to prevent any pro-Zionist Jew from entering our Arab and Muslim countries under any heading or slogan – trade, tourism or sports. And if one does arrive, he must [be made to] feel unwelcome and even to feel in constant fear for his life, like a person in the crosshairs.
„Any wicked and lying pro-Zionist Jew must feel this anxiety – and not just him, but also all the Arabs and Muslims who identify with [the Zionists]: those who have normalized [relations] with them, those who are about to do so and those who are considering it…”[5]
Al-Amadi In March 2024 Column: The Quran Reveals That The Jews Are Cunning, Dishonest Violators Of Agreements; This Has Been Their Nature Generation After Generation
In a column replete with antisemitic motifs, published on March 14, 2024, Al-Amadi wrote that hatred, resentment and jealousy toward Muslims have been ingrained in the Jews since the days of the Prophet Muhammad:
„The Quran exposes the truth about the Jews… their cunning, their dishonesty, and their repeated violation of promises and treaties despite the trials and tribulations they suffered as punishment for their deeds…
„The hostility of the Jews towards the Muslim community, which continues from those days until today, is different from [the hostility] of all the other nations towards Islam and the Muslims, for their resentment, jealousy and hatred are ingrained in them. In fact, it seems that [these sentiments] were handed down from generation to generation, until this very day…
„The Jews of the past are the Jews of today. In their modern form… they became Zionists, who have no [connection] whatsoever with religions, morality or values. In fact, their hostility, barbarity and crimes against the Muslims in Gaza have grown worse, and they mean to harm every Muslim everywhere, if they can.”
Also in the column, Al-Amadi compared the war in Gaza to the plots allegedly hatched by the Jewish tribes of the Arabian Peninsula against the Prophet Muhammad in his day.[6] (See MEMRI Special Dispatch No. 11236, Columnist In Qatari Daily: Hatred And Hostility Are Ingrained In The Jews; The War In Gaza Is An Exact Copy Of Their Forefathers’ Plot Against The Muslims In The Time Of The Prophet, March 28, 2024.)
On X, On Anniversary Of October 7 Attack, Al-Amadi Glorifies It: This Was The Day Allah Humiliated Israel, Whose End Is Near
On October 7, 2024, the first anniversary of Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel, Amadi shared a poster on his X account showing Hamas military spokesman Abu Obeida, the Al-Aqsa mosque, a hand making the victory sign, and the inverted red triangle symbol that Hamas uses to denote a target in the videos of its military wing. The text in the poster states: „Victory with the help of Allah is near” (Quran 2:214), and „May you be strong on every seventh [of October], Oh people of Gaza.”[7]
In another post on the same day, he shared footage of Hamas’s October 7 attack and wrote in English: „The 7th of October 2023 was the day that Allah humiliated this [Israeli] regime and made it founder like a rabid wounded dog seeking its end, which became more or less close, inshallah.”[8] (See MEMRI Special Dispatch No. 11601, Al-Jazeera And Other Journalists In Qatar On October 7 Anniversary: It Was A Magnificent Historic Day That Restored Our Nation’s Honor, October 8, 2024)
Al-Amadi In October 2024 Column Praising October 7 Attack: This Was A Historic Turning Point That Saved The Honor Of The Muslim Nation, Which Is In Perpetual Conflict With Western Civilization
Several days after the first anniversary of the October 7 attack, Al-Amadi published a column titled „The Al-Aqsa Flood – A Historic Turning Point,” in which he described this attack as a historic and effective event that had saved the honor of the Muslim nation. He added that this nation has long been in confrontation with Western civilization, of which Israel is merely a tool.
He wrote: „In order to awaken from its deep slumber, the ummah urgently needed an event like a momentous earthquake, or at least a shock, to make it notice what is happening around it and what is being plotted against it. But what [actually] happened was far more effective than an earthquake – it was the Al-Aqsa Flood…
„Some perhaps wonder about this flood and its usefulness, and ask how it will impact the [Muslim] nation. That is a legitimate and logical question. If the asker is short-sighted, he undoubtedly sees the flood as nothing more than [a source of] destruction, devastation, the spilling of innocent blood and [the death of] thousands of victims…
„But if he is far-sighted, he undoubtedly sees the Flood as a lifeline that came out of nowhere to save the [Muslim] nation, despite all the potential repercussions of this salvation, including the effort, exhaustion, difficulty and loss of both life and property. From the perspective of logic and common sense, these are expected and reasonable outcomes; moreover, they were necessary in order to complete the act of salvation… when the [Muslim] nation was definitely drowning. Those [who take this view] argue that the flood restored the honor of the Muslim nation and the Muslim people, and let the world see the truth about Al-Aqsa or about the occupation, the aggression, and the Western conspiracies against this nation…
„Those who still weep over the victims and the destroyed buildings, and blame the Flood for the situation in Gaza, are undoubtedly in denial, because human achievements such as attaining independence and liberation from tyranny, and wresting freedom from occupiers and oppressors, cannot be realized through wishes and dreams, but only through bloodshed…
„The enemy is not the occupying Zionist entity – it is those who created it, supported it, and sponsored it [i.e. the West]. This entity is [nothing but] a facade and a tool [of the West]. Defeating it is not the end of the road; on the contrary, its defeat and downfall will cause the real enemy to reveal its face, this time without hypocrisy. Then the nation will find itself in the true battle with all those filthy [Westerners]…”[9] (See MEMRI Special Dispatch No. 11713, Qatari Government Dailies Continue To Praise Hamas’ October 7 Attack On Israel: It Was A Historic, Heroic Act That Saved The Muslim Nation, December 5, 2024.)
Al-Amadi In January 2024 Column: It Is Only Through More Operations Like October 7 That Israel Will Be Restrained
Al-Amadi wrote in a January 4, 2024 column that only additional operations like the October 7 attack will put a stop to Israel’s plan of expanding „from the Nile to the Euphrates.” He stated:
„…The Zionist entity wants to turn things on their head and convince the world that it is indigenous while the Palestinians are foreigners in the land. There is no doubt that throughout these difficult years, it has managed to convince many people around the world of this, even though it did as it pleased, without consideration for anybody, and continues to do so. But Operation Al-Aqsa Flood [the October 7 attack] stopped this arrogance and exposed the distorted character of the Zionist narrative…
„The Zionist entity means to continue its plan of the past 70 years by re-occupying Gaza and then swallowing up what is left of the [West] Bank, so as to occupy all of Palestine and then quickly launch its plan to expand toward its neighbors Egypt, Jordan and Syria, until it realizes its vision of Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates. This entity will not stop and will not be deterred until it suffers a second, third and tenth Al-Aqsa Flood, which will frighten it and cut it down to size, for what was taken by force will only be restored by force. That is the reasoning that this occupying and foreign enemy understands.”[10] (See MEMRI Special Dispatch No. 11154, Incitement Against Israel In Qatari Press Continues: Only More Attacks Like October 7 Will Restrain It; The Conflict Will End Only With Disappearance Of Israel, February 28, 2024.)
Al-Amadi In December 2023 Column: All Of Palestine Must Be Liberated From The Zionist-Crusader Enterprise And Purged Of The „Filth And Contamination Of The Sons Of Zion”
In his column titled „Gaza – An Opportunity that Will Not Come Again,” published December 14, 2023, Al-Amadi wrote:
„…The Zionist entity is a Western product and a despicable imperialistic enterprise, garbed in a false religious mantle, that was planted in an Arab and Muslim environment. [This entity] causes us, the Arab and Muslim nation, to be more determined than anyone else to continue our efforts to repel it and destabilize it in the land of Palestine and on any Arab and Muslim land. This action can be termed 'resistance,’ and is legitimate from the religious, legal and moral perspectives…
„The Zionist withdrawal from Gaza is just one of several large goals that must be realized, no matter how long [it takes], for the noble goal is to liberate all of Palestine from this Zionist-Crusader enterprise and purge it of all the filth and contamination of the sons of Zion, both human and material. This is [also] an opportunity to be rid of the Zionist gangs and war criminals and of the prominent Arab and Western leaders that neglect [Palestine]. They will no doubt come to a bitter end after they experience disaster sooner or later…”[11] (See MEMRI Special Dispatch No. 11154, Incitement Against Israel In Qatari Press Continues: Only More Attacks Like October 7 Will Restrain It; The Conflict Will End Only With Disappearance Of Israel, February 28, 2024.)
