Amichai Chikl
Budapest—At the 2024 CPAC Hungary gathering, Israel’s Minister of Diaspora Affairs, Amichai Chikli stated that he did not respect individuals who wore a Palestinian-supporting Keffiyehs, and called Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D) an “enemy of America” for her continued wearing of the garment on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.
The Floridian asked Minister Chikli his thoughts on Rep. Tlaib wearing the keffiyeh on the floor of the House, and of the overall use of the garment on college campuses during antisemitic gatherings to show of solidarity with Palestinians.
"I respect those who wear Keffiyeh and understand what are they wearing. I don’t understand people who wearing keffiyeh when they have no idea what are they doing,” said Chikli.
Chikli quickly pivoted to Rep. Tlaib, suggesting that she was supporting the Hamas terror group.
“Going back to Rashida Tlaib. I f you support Hamas, you are not an enemy of the state of Israel, you are an enemy of America. You're not an enemy of just America, you are an enemy of Western civilization,” added Chikli.
Chikli also said that Israelis would never forget the October 7th terrorist attack against Israel by Hamas militants and that Israel was focused on annihilating the terror group that is backed by the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the broader Muslim Brotherhood organization.
