    Chikli Denounces CAIR, Exposes Alleged Hamas Connections

    Published on

    What it’s about

    Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli, strongly argues against the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), exposing alleged links to Hamas and condemns recent remarks by its executive director, Nihad Awad.

    Driving the news

    Chikli accuses CAIR of antisemitism following statements by Awad praising the events of October 7, when more than 1,200 Israelis were targeted. Awad’s comments suggest support for acts of breaking the siege on Gaza, further revealing CAIR’s hidden ideologies, according to Chikli.

    Why it matters

    Chikli’s statements are stirring global debate about CAIR’s position and affiliations. By drawing attention to CAIR’s past connections with Hamas and the Holy Land Foundation, he argues the organization’s claims of human rights advocacy are a façade masking a pro-Hamas agenda.

    The larger picture

    The Israeli Minister criticizes past inclusion of CAIR in U.S. efforts to combat antisemitism. The recent U.S. decision to dissociate from CAIR’s participation spotlights concerns over its intentions and its criticisms towards Israel and Jewish organizations. Chikli emphasizes CAIR’s significant roles in promoting anti-Israel rhetorics, especially on American campuses.

    What’s next

    The Israeli Ministry urges international communities and governments to reassess CAIR’s presence and influence. Chikli suggests the importance of labeling CAIR falsely aligned with human rights advocacy, proposing measures like designating the group a terrorist organization.

    What’s at stake

    This battle holds implications not just for Israeli interests, but in the wider fight against antisemitism across global communities. Our action now can pave the way for strengthened relations and clarity on genuine advocacy against discriminations.
