Yes the idea that any of $5B in Qatar was used, or will be used, to directly pay for terrorism is wrong, but the "real" argument is that having that money available to pay for imports of "approved" food/medicine etc. means that the Iranians can free up $5B in reserves they do control to fund whatever they want. As for the "freeze" on that money, it's unofficial and, because there's a complicated process to use the money, it's not stopping anything that was in progress.
