AMICHAI CHIKLI — Israel’s minister for combating antisemitism warns Mamdani win a wake-up call for Jews

Israel's Minister of Diaspora Affairs Amichai Chikli warns that antisemitism is rising from both the political left and right, threatening Jewish communities across America.

Amichai Chikli has been the Minister for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism in the Israeli government since Dec. 2022.

It is almost unthinkable that New York — the proud and historic center of Jewish life — could become the American city where Jews no longer feel at home or safe.

But with the election of Mamdani as mayor, that unthinkable scenario is now a reality. New York will never be the same — particularly for its Jewish community. Mamdani, like his mentor Linda Sarsour, represents the "Red-Green Alliance" — the dangerous strategic partnership between radical Islamism and the far-left progressive movement. What unites them is a loathing for the very idea of liberty — the symbol of New York itself — and a pathological hatred of the Jewish people and the State of Israel.
