ISRAELI DIASPORA AFFAIRS MINISTER AMICHAI CHIKL SAYS 'IT REALLY BOTHERS THEM WHEN NATIONAL FORCES IN ISRAEL AND OUTSIDE ISRAEL — SUCH AS VOX IN SPAIN, THE FRENCH NATIONAL RALLY, AND OTHERS — CONNECT AND ACT TOGETHER'.

ISRAELI DIASPORA AFFAIRS MINISTER AMICHAI CHIKLI SAYS 'WE HAVE IN EUROPE A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE ELITES THAT HAVE BEEN SWEPT INTO THE MOST RADICAL POST-NATIONALIST PLACES — PLACES OF IDENTIFICATION, ESSENTIALLY, WITH ISLAMIST NATIONALISM, WITH THE PALESTINIANS, WITH HAMAS', CALLING THESE MOVEMENTS 'VERY, VERY HOSTILE TOWARD THE STATE OF ISRAEL'.

The African diaspora is often discussed as a vast reservoir of capital and goodwill waiting to be tapped for the continent’s development. But that may undersell its value, argues @YinkaWrites. Read more of his full view:

🇩🇪🇮🇱 Israel Minister of Diaspora Affairs Amichai Chikli gave a shout-out today to the western German state of Hesse. “Denying Israel’s right to exist is not legitimate criticism. It is one of today’s most prevalent forms of antisemitism: hatred of Jews disguised as opposition to Zionism. I commend Minister-President Boris Rhein and the State of Hesse for their leadership in advancing legislation to confront this threat. I hope the Bundestag will enact this proposal into law, giving concrete expression to Germany’s commitment to Israel’s right to exist and the safety of Jews.” The legislation seeks to criminalize public denial of Israel's right to exist or to call for its destruction. It comes as Germany has seen an uptick in anti-Israel demonstrations and antisemitic rhetoric. But regardless of what’s written on protest signs… It’s the politicians putting words into law.

🚨 BREAKING: Israeli Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli: "Antisemitism does not concern the average European or the average American. "Radical Islam interests them greatly - very greatly - and therefore we need to take advantage of that."

@YinkaWrites writes: The numbers are there: the broader sub-Saharan African diaspora in the US has swelled to roughly 4.8 million people, tripling since 2000, according to Migration Policy Institute data. Nearly 50% of adults hold a bachelor’s degree or higher — outpacing both the broader immigrant population and native-born Americans.

Akedah / "covenant before land" sets an interesting / relevant 2026 conversation about diaspora culture + hard power. A proposition for debate … A culture built around exile can rule with hard power, but only if the hard power stays instrumental to the book-culture's purpose (cohesion, covenant, meaning) rather than becoming its own end. The moment "purity of arms" becomes a slogan people no longer actually believe governs conduct, you've drifted from retrieval into Jabotinsky's clean break — and that's a different, much more fragile thing, because raw hard power without the identity-density behind it is just another army.
