(Jerusalem Post) Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Ministry Minister Amichai Chikli escalated his campaign against the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) on Thursday, exposing the organization’s alleged ties to Hamas and sharing a damning quote from its executive director, Nihad Awad, about the October 7 Hamas-led massacre in Israel.
In a series of posts on X, Chikli wrote: “The time has come to discuss @CAIRNational, its origins, and the hidden ideology behind its self-definition as a ‘human rights organization.’ Let’s begin.” He continued by linking CAIR’s establishment to the Palestine Committee, a Hamas-affiliated network in the US, and cited FBI wiretaps from a 1993 meeting in Philadelphia where plans to create CAIR were allegedly finalized.
