How Qatar Bought Influence Inside America’s Universities

☕ Support the channel:

Professor Charles Small discusses the enormous influence he says Qatar and Muslim Brotherhood-linked institutions have gained inside American and Western universities.

According to Small’s research, more than $100 billion in foreign funding has flowed into universities and higher-education institutions over several decades. He argues that this money helped create an academic environment increasingly hostile toward Israel, Zionism and Jewish identity.

In this reaction, Rafi Harel examines Small’s claims about foreign university donations, the explosion of campus antisemitism, the anti-Israel demonstrations following October 7 and what he describes as the “eighth front” of the war against Israel: the battle over ideas, education, media and public opinion.

The discussion also explores:

Qatar’s relationships with major American universities

The ideological influence of the Muslim Brotherhood

The alliance between radical Islamism and the far left

Anti-Western and anti-Zionist narratives in academia

Columbia, Cornell, Georgetown and Texas A&M

The spread of campus activism into media and politics

Why Israel needs a coordinated strategy for the information war

Small argues that Qatar is not simply donating money out of generosity. He believes the funding serves a larger ideological objective: weakening Israel’s relationship with the United States, shaping future generations and undermining Western democratic institutions from within.

The financial figures and institutional connections discussed are claims presented by Professor Charles Small in the original interview and should be evaluated alongside the underlying research and university disclosures.
