False. Qatar did not pump 20 billion into US universities. Students don't like the genocide and Israel's manipulation of the US. No Qatar needed.

Those “other genocides” aren’t funded by the US Congress, and the other countries aren’t US allies. It makes perfect sense for US students to focus on the Gaza war and Israel right now, as something that they could actually change by getting US politicians etc to listen. You seem to agree it’s a genocide, but you’re effectively defending it by acting like only shills want it to stop.

Maybe those investments are cause for concern, but it seems a stretch to say they are funding protests. And if Qatar is going to corrupt US democracy, I’d be a lot more worried about their recent “investments” with top US officials.
