International Business Times: Hotels, Heritage, and Hamas: Why the West Is Shedding Its Reliance on Qatari Cash
"Consumers, led by the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), are boycotting HBJ's portfolio of elite London hotels, including the Connaught and Claridge's. Other five-star hotels backed by Qatari investors, including The Ritz London and The Savoy, are also named by the campaign due to the state's links to funding terror organisation Hamas.
The CEP claims that 'Qatar's role in the atrocities perpetrated by Hamas in Israel is indisputable.' It stated that Ismail Haniyeh, the group's leader, 'planned and celebrated the Israeli massacre from his office in Doha, is provided with five-star accommodation in Qatar.'"
The Counter Extremism Project Presents
Enduring Music: Compositions from the Holocaust
Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Counter Extremism Project's ARCHER at House 88 presents a landmark concert of music composed in ghettos and death camps, performed in defiance of resurgent antisemitism. Curated with world renowned composer, conductor, and musicologist Francesco Lotoro, the program restores classical, folk, and popular works, many written on scraps of paper or recalled from memory, to public consciousness. Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
