Amichai Chikli, Israel's Minister of Diaspora Affairs, is coming to Canada this week to speak at an event hosted by the homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic preacher, Charles McVety.
Who is Amichai Chikli and what does he believe? Let's take a look:
On Judicial Overhaul: “[The judicial system is] a disease-ridden system without any checks [on its power], whose connection to national and Zionist values is somewhere between questionable and non-existent. [And it] has a complete misunderstanding of the threat we face on the international stage. What we need is a clean break.” (source)
On Annexation and Settlement Expansion: “The Civil Administration is a very problematic body and it is biased against Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria. De facto annexation is excellent. I don’t have any problem with that.” (source)
On LGBTQ+ Jews: Called the Tel Aviv Pride Parade a “disgraceful vulgarity,” writing that “one of the most beautiful things in my eyes about sexuality is precisely the fact that it is subdued.” (source)
On Sex Education in Schools: “Tolerance and inclusion do not mean that children in kindergarten and elementary school will be exposed at such an early stage in their lives to every phenomenon that exists on the spectrum, such as drag queens and transgender people.” (source)
On Palestinian Society: “[Palestinian society is] a barbaric society that breeds murderous children and admirers of martyrs who slaughter women and babies.” (source)
On Palestinian Identity: “There is no Palestinian national identity with a positive content of its own. Therefore we won’t be rid of this conflict until this national identity ceases to be.” (source)
On Soros and Elon Musk: Chikli defended a tweet by Elon Musk, in which Musk claims “[Soros] wants to erode the very fabric of civilization. Soros hates humanity.” (source)
