Farnam Jahanian, President
Board of Trustees
Carnegie Mellon University

Dear Mr. Jahanian and Board of Trustees,

I urge Carnegie Mellon University to sever its financial ties with Qatar because of its major support for Hamas and the anti-Semitism that such co-opting breeds in the United States.

The Middle East Forum reports that Doha is a major funder of the U.S.-designated terrorist organization Hamas, which on October 7 massacred over 1,200 Israelis and others and kidnapped 253 people.

Qatar’s financial relationship with American universities fosters Jew Hatred and support for Hamas and other Islamist organizations.  This financial relationship blinds university leaders and students to the threat of jihad.  It legitimizes the Islamophobia false narrative while diminishing the more real dangers of anti-Semitism.  

Texas A&M just closed its campus in Qatar.

I urge Carnegie Mellon University to sever its ties with Qatar.
