Whataboutism. If you argue with a greater evil, nothing will ever be solved. Quatar did/does some nasty things and right now people have the possibility to boycott. Right now it's there and we will talk about it. All countries do nasty things all the time. But currently we're looking east.

More like Hypocrisy. Many of the nations who are crying foul of human rights issues in Qatar committed way bigger atrocities in recent history than Qatar ever did.

That doesn't make it more right. I think you did not understand my remark.

My comment is about how human rights only get brought up in events in the Middle East, not when there is some event in the west, that is hypocrisy.

Well no not really. First few results are a mix of America, China and UAE...

HN is not mainstream media. Also UAE is a part of the middle east.
