Israel’s Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli (pictured above) has explained his own strategy more candidly than any critic could.
Antisemitism, he told an interviewer, does not much interest the average European or American, whereas fear of “radical Islam” interests them “very, very much”, and Israel therefore needs “to take advantage of that”.
Here is a senior cabinet minister admitting that Islamophobia has become a Trojan Horse for Israel to win over European and American hearts and minds.
And it is the clearest account yet of what his ministry has become under Benjamin Netanyahu; an office that once existed to protect Jewish communities abroad now works to turn European fear of Muslims into political capital for the Israeli government.
His ministry was built for the opposite work.
Diaspora affairs meant supporting Jewish communities, taking their guidance, defending them against the forces that genuinely threaten them.
But while his predecessors asked what would keep Jews safe, Chikli asks what narrative can be weaponised to make an easier sell. The most effective selling point, he has concluded, is not Israel at all but fear of somebody else.
A civilisational war
Since its genocide in Gaza, the old case for Israel on its own merits has grown harder to make, and a new one has slipped into its place. Support Israel, the argument runs, because Israel is fighting the people coming for you next.
In this narrative Israel becomes the forward operating base of a civilisational war, the frontier of what Chikli, in a 2024 interview with Jewish Insider, called the “Judeo-Christian world” set against a “red-green alliance” of the progressive left and Islam.
He deliberately blurs the line between confronting violent groups and Islam tapping into the playbook of far-right populism, which is on the rise across the West.
The company he keeps confirms as much.
Chikli has courted Marine Le Pen’s National Rally in France, Spain’s far-right Vox party, the Sweden Democrats, and Dutch populist Geert Wilders, every one of them a party built on hostility to immigration and to Islam.
Paradoxically, the ministry designed to protect Jews from antisemitism has become a ministry of subversion, ripening the very audiences and networks on the far right that have been on the very forefront of Jew hate globally.
In October 2025, days after two Jews were killed, one of them by police during armed response, outside a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur, Chikli invited the English agitator Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon and who has accumulated multiple criminal convictions and prison terms over the past two decades, to Israel, and hailed him as “a courageous leader on the front line against radical Islam”.
Those protesting the visit at the time were not the progressive left Chikli likes to blame, but British Jews themselves.
The Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Jewish Leadership Council called Robinson “a thug who represents the very worst of Britain”, and they dismissed Chikli as “a diaspora minister in name only” who had ignored the community he claims to serve. Jews in whose name he claims to act wanted no part in this endeavour.
One prejudice in two coats
What Chikli followers often miss is that antisemitism and Islamophobia do not compete for a fixed ration of public sympathy.
They are the one prejudice in two coats. Each rests on the same premise that a minority may be judged and feared and shut out for its religion.
So a serious campaign against antisemitism would widen the taboo against demonising anyone at all, because that taboo is the only thing that has ever kept Jews safe.
Instead, Chikli has been narrowing it. His bargain invites his own minority to buy the illusion of a little safety by leasing itself to the forces massing against another.
History is unkind to any bargain with fascists. Minorities rarely prosper once a society begins sorting itself by who truly belongs, and the movement aimed at Muslims today has no reason to stop there.
Europe’s far-right traditions have a habit of circling back to the Jews. Robinson proved the point within the week, railing online against “elitist Jews”. My bogeyman’s enemy turns out to be still my enemy.
Then there are the values he claims to guard. Chikli casts Israel as the custodian of “Judeo-Christian civilisation”, of truth, free choice and human dignity.
—
Take him at his word, and the case falls apart on his own terms. A state cannot preach the sanctity of civilisation while it normalises the dehumanising and mass slaughter of Palestinians.It cannot raise the banner of religious liberty while it feeds movements whose appeal begins and ends in suspicion of another faith.
Israel’s “Ministry of Subversion” now sits closer to an illiberal, nationalist Europe than to the liberal order that once made Jewish life in the diaspora secure.
The useful idiots
Meanwhile, those on Europe’s far right are more than just useful idiots played by Israel. Europe’s populists collect an asset money cannot buy – namely a Jewish endorsement that shields them from the charge of antisemitism and lets them dress hostility to Muslims as plain realism.
Netanyahu’s government collects politicians who will defend its war in Gaza and stand against Palestinian advocacy. Fear of Muslims is the coin they trade in.
In his interview Chikli did not suggest Europeans need to fight antisemitism, but swap one fear for another to fill a deep-seated European yearning for a significant other against whom to define its identity.
An institution built to bind Israel to Jewish communities has decided that the easy road to defending the undefendable rhetoric and action of the Netanyahu’s government runs not through making Israel more persuasive but through making Europeans more afraid.
And it asks Jews to hand their safety to the very politics of collective suspicion their own history should have taught the West to dread.
No one has ever defeated the hatred of one people by bankrolling the hatred of another.

A SEX pest flasher and senior aide to Wes Streeting has resigned after being convicted of indecent exposure.
Sam Gould, 33, quit his role as Redbridge councillor after The Sun revealed he exposed his genitals to a 13-year-old girl on Saturday.

Sam said the charge was just pure antisemitism
Pervert Labour Councillor Samuel Gould, and Streetings ex boyfriend has resigned after the sex scandal
Credit: Ray Collins Sam Gould, Wes Streeting’s aid, at a council count. Gould was a former senior aide of Health Secretary Wes Streeting who was ‘horrified’ when told ould had been caught
Gould was sacked as a senior aide but initially refused to quit as a Redbridge councillor, much to the disgust of the cabinet.
The Health Secretary was “horrified” that despite Gould pleading guilty on Monday at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court, it was thought he could not be removed from his position.
Redbridge Council’s Labour leader Kam Rai said he was “relieved” to announce pest Gould’s resignation after Streeting demanded he leave on his own terms.
Raj said he quickly blocked Gould’s council devices and access cards following the “distressing” news and said his “heart goes out to the victims for what they endured.”
“Jewish endorsement that shields them from the charge of antisemitism and lets them dress hostility to Muslims as plain realism.”
But these insane non-semitic jews don’t seem to realise that the internet shows jews for what they are and it also shows neither Iran, nor Palestine, nor Lebanon to be a danger to Europe.
“Chikli casts Israel as the custodian of “Judeo-Christian civilisation”, of truth, free choice and human dignity.” — how typical of these lying jews. Judeo-Christian ( note the judeo part is always first LOL ) is an oxymoron. Why? Because jews hate Christianity.
Frustrating.
WE KNOW.
And what better tool to convince ignorant Islamophobes than the repetitive ’’Islamist’’ phrase on all terror related news? GB news heads the most obvious followed by Sky and BBC.
The lack of balance on these Zio-funded platforms is 100% in-your-face obvious, plus the fact they’re allowed to get away with it speaks volumes in itself.
And here we have rixon pushing immigrant invasion.
No he’s NOT “pushing the immigrant invasion”. He’s pointing out how Zionist politicians are trying to ignite conflict between Islam and the West. Do you work for UK intelligence or the British Army’s disinformation unit, 77th Brigade? Are you trying to cover-up this treachery?
and when ZION governs the whole west + near
east they will open new best relationship with
the surviving moslems who have abandoned +
betrayed their murdered fellowbelievers + they
will work together like once in islamic spain .
in the end they will claim WE ARE ALL
BROTHERS IN ABRAHAM .
Anyone displaying the flag of Mordor should get it stuffed up their ass just prior to being lobotomized with a brick.
“They are the one prejudice in two coats. Each rests on the same premise that a minority may be judged and feared and shut out for its religion.” .. Bullshit. They are not “judged and feared and shut out” due to their religion, they are hated for their relentlessly demonstrated actions and behaviors. Granted, some of those actions and behaviors may be predicated on warped aspects or warped interpretations of their faith, but it’s the actions and behaviors rather than the words that cause distrust and dislike.
And the fact is that “ultra-orthodox” or “fundamentalist” anything of any stripe is almost unfailingly indicative of a f*cking cult filled with the sort of drooling indoctrinated imbecile who initiates the prejudice.

As churches burn in Canada.
“Islamophobia has become Israel’s Trojan Horse to win over westerners”
Good title for the article, but as I read it I thought the author lost his way a little.
The Brits need to realize, Jews and non-Jews who support Zionism are the problem.
And Christians who support fake Israel are not Christian.
Wars for Israel are why most Muslims have landed in the UK
The reasonable man or woman has a healthy fear and respect of the uncivilized and duplicitous ways of both kike and haji… and the wise ones do not trust Christians much more.
Soros NGO’s, Israeli NGO’s, USAID NGO’S have been busy for decades herding Muslim people they and their principals have uprooted either by their wars or destabilisations in the Middle East and Africa.
Soros organizations have been a tool of the Rothschild dynasty to destabilize nations by totally criminal methods working with the CIA, MI6 and the Mossad. Soros, who is a Jew, has pretended to be a Nazi and at the same time a “globalist”. Also, he has pretended to be anti-Zionist. He has citizenship in both the US and the UK as well as estates and despite his crimes around the world he is totally protected by the US and the UK governments. As said many times before, he is a leading agent provocateur of the Rothschild dynasty.
To destabilize the Ukraine and to take over its government, the Soros NGO’s were the first to be deployed from the Middle East into the Ukraine in 2011 after the civil war began in Syria which they along with the other NGO’s and various military and intelligence agents of the US, the UK and Israel actually started by recruiting, training and paying the various insurgencies.
These NGO’s are the perfect cover for their insurgencies and their herding of peoples the globalists, the US and other Western nations of the same cabal have deliberately displaced and induced to invade our nations. We are their principal enemy. As we know George Soros and his organizations are not just into herding people across UK, EU, and US borders, his financial hit teams and money are used repeatedly yin nefarious methods to economically ruin nations to assist in the replacement of their government’s. Syria and the Ukraine are two recent examples.
Pitting Muslims against Christians is a typical Jewish divide and conquer tactic, and the Muslim invasions have to go to the doors of international Jewry and the Rothschild dynasty.
It is nice to think there are good and decent people like Tucker Carlson and Jimmy Dore, as well as many people like them in the US, but that nation is neither “good” or “decent” anymore. The rich and powerful set which run that nation have no intention of being good or decent, or being seen as such. They are ruthless criminals and they in fact do want to be feared as such. The good and decent people are a distinct minority, while the rest of the masses are either so dumbed down with media brainwashing and disinformation, as well as with toxic foods and circuses that they hardly believe in their own realities much less in God who is the ground of all reality. They openly choose to be blind.
Nah, Fuckem both. And anyone Else that shows up!

I should also say, countries which are not at war, (not being bombed by Israel) are suffering under a deluge of Zionist propaganda and Zionist psy-ops, backed by Jewish money to get alien people, foreigners from Africa to get on boats to invade islands of Europe and the mainland.
