History of the Jews in Qatar

This article covers the history of Qatar's small Jewish community and its diaspora presence. Through 2010 the opening said "the Anti-Defamation League has protested the existence of antisemitic stereotypes in Qatar's newspapers." Today the opening describes only kosher food produced during the 2022 World Cup and a rabbi's periodic visits; the word survives elsewhere in the article. A reader today learns Qatar accommodates kosher visitors, and not that the ADL documented antisemitic stereotypes in the country's press.

The opening as it read in 2010

Geographic location of Qatar Map of Qatar The history of the Jews in Qatar is very limited. There are few Jews in Qatar , but the Anti-Defamation League has protested the existence of antisemitic stereotypes in Qatar’s newspapers. Non-Islamic religious literature is banned, although Bibles for personal use are tolerated.1 As an indication of the opening up of Qatari society to Western influence, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported that: A forum on U.S.-Islamic relations in Qatar will feature Israeli and U.S. Former President Clinton and Sheik Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani , the emir of Qatar, are the scheduled keynote speakers at the Jan.10-12 U.S.-Islamic Forum in Doha . The forum is sponsored by the Project on U.S. Policy Towards the Islamic World, funded by the Saban center, which was founded by American-Israeli entertainment mogul Haim Saban . Participants will come from around the Islamic world, including Syria, Saudi Arabia and Sudan. Martin Kramer , editor of the Middle East Quarterly , is the sole Israeli participant, since Saban will attend as an American.2
