I might have to wait until tomorrow to give a fuller answer to this.  Some of points anyway--

Your qualification--on a wide scale--shouldn't let the US off the hook. It sounds like you have not really checked the numbers.

Second point--the US has funded the "confiscating passports, confiscating phones, no days off, rape, beat, threaten legal ramifications if they do not do as their told" of thousands of laborers in the Middle East.

Third point--what is your view of our "ally" Saudi Arabia regarding slave labor. Are you applying to them the same standards you apply to Qatar? 

Let's not forget that we are evaluating Kushner's foreign policy efforts here.  Can your answers lead us back to that issue or was the sudden judgment of Qatar on human rights grounds a deflection? 

You would argue that US human rights policy should determine our relation to all countries or just selected ones?
