  The law should still apply equally to every company, shouldn’t it?

  You’re spelling out how they’re acting like a neutral party here.

  Qatar is knowingly and willingly hosting the leadership of a terrorist organization that mass murders innocent civilians - both Israelis and Palestinians. Hamas leaders live in luxury in Qatar, they have billions of dollars stashed away.

  That makes Qatar about as “neutral” about Hamas as the Taliban were “neutral” about all Qaeda.

  It’s a destitute open air prison. Come on now.

  You act like I’m debating that, or like I’m taking sides.

  I’m not.

  I’m just pointing out that a totalitarian regime - a regime that tolerates no dissent, that enforces strict religious laws, that suppresses women, that has the death penalty for homosexuality, that openly uses slave labor - isn’t some kind of neutral party if it has a vested interest in Gaza and has been openly supporting Hamas for decades.

  I don’t blindly trust their reporting.

  That’s all I’m asking for.

  The hostage deal was negotiated by Qatar, the Hamas leadership is living in luxury in Qatar, Qatar is seeking to gain more influence in the future of Gaza.

  Is this really the right moment to blindly trust the Qatar state owned news source with its reporting about a Qatar negotiated deal related to a conflict that Qatar has a vested interest in?

  That absolutely doesn’t mean that the power to create or disband ministries has to rest with the executive branch.

  In fact, it can easily be argued that creating the framework in which the executive branch operates is the domain of the legislative branch - so the creation, merging, splitting or disbanding of ministries should also be a power of the legislative branch.

  Or you could argue that it should be a power that should be shared between an administration and parliament, where an administration could introduce a motion to change ministries to parliament, and parliament wild have to vote on it.

  Lots of possibilities.

  Funny, given how much people hated ENT at the time. It was a good show, but the CGI has aged poorly.
