Israel’s Minister for the Diaspora, Amichai Chikli explains the spread of antisemitism in Europe: “European rise in antisemitism a result of Islamic migration, Diaspora minister says,” by Eliav Breuer, Jerusalem Post, February 16, 2025:
Chikli expressed support for immigration policies in Hungary and Poland, as examples of places where Jews can walk around freely. The comment drew murmurs from the crowd, with one person claiming that Hungary had a fascist government.
Both Hungary and Poland have managed to keep Muslim migrants out. The border guards stop Muslims from entering those countries. If some Muslims manage to get into either country, they discover there are no welfare benefits to be had, and they quickly leave countries that are so obviously hostile to their presence.
Chikli also warned against the spread of the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria via its new regime, which is backed by Turkey. Erdogan and Turkey had the “exact same ideology” as Hamas, and therefore the Syrian front was one Israel should be concerned about.
Erdogan is a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, of which Hamas is the Gazan branch. His Turkish troops are now in northern Syria, apparently to stay, in order to prevent the Kurdish YPG (Kurdish Defense Forces) in that country from linking up with Kurds inside Turkey. That Turkish military presence in Syria is one more worry for the IDF.
Chikli is deeply suspicious of Abu Muhammad Al-Julani, Syria’s de facto ruler, and of the rebel group he headed, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. Al-Julani claims that he years ago broke all his ties to Al-Qaeda and ISIS, and is now intent on rebuilding the broken nation-state of Syria, not in furthering a pan-Islamic caliphate. But the schoolbooks just adopted in Syria contain worrisome changes in their texts, that stress Islamic themes and anti-Israel propaganda.
Qatar also shares this ideology and does public relations for Hamas, Chikli said, adding that the Qatari Al-Jazeera network was the first to put out pictures of hostages shown [under threats from their guards] denigrating IDF soldiers. Chikli said that involving Qatar in negotiations was a mistake.
Qatar has not been a neutral party in the ceasefire negotiations. Qatar is a loyal friend to Iran, the malevolent godfather to all the anti-Israel forces in the area — Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Assad’s army in Syria. Qatar has for years provided refuge to Hamas leaders. Living in Doha, those leaders are provided by Qatar with a safe place from which to plan and direct attacks, and to rally their members and to conduct their propaganda worldwide. Qatar has behind the scenes managed to persuade Hamas to hold firm in its demands both as to the timetable of the various phases of the exchange, and as to the numbers of Palestinian prisoners to be exchanged for each Israeli hostage to be released. Hamas leaders have followed Qatar’s advice, with the results — 1,900 Palestinian prisoners to be released for fewer than 70 Israeli hostages — we have all seen.
Chikli thinks the hostages-for-prisoners exchange is a bad idea. He believes that the numbers are intolerably lopsided, as they were with the 1,027 prisoners exchanged for Gilad Shalit in 2011, and that many of the 1,900 prisoners now being released will return to terrorism. He knows that according to the Shin Bet’s head, Ronen Bar, 82% of those released in 2011 resumed terrorist activity, and in Chikli’s calculation, those now released will be responsible for many more deaths than the number of hostages now being freed.
He also thinks it was unwise to let Qatar take part in the negotiations, as if it were a neutral party. Qatar has for years supported Hamas, not least by providing a secure refuge to its leaders. And behind the scenes, Chikli thinks that Qatar urged Hamas remain firm in its maximalist demands.
But what is of greatest interest is Amichai Chikli’s comment that the Muslim migrants in Europe are now the main carriers of antisemitism, and Israel should be making common cause with the so-called right-wing parties in Europe, such as Marine Le Pen’s Rassemblement National and Geert Wilders’ Freedom Party (Partij voor de Frieheid), for they are prepared to halt Muslim immigration and to deport, for various reasons, Muslims already in their countries. At the same time he thinks Israel should reach out to those countries — Hungary and Poland lead the list — that have managed to keep out almost all would-be migrants from Muslim lands. As a consequence, Jews in those countries have no fears of being assaulted, unlike Jews in London, Paris, Berlin, and Rome.
Until Chikli, no Israeli leader has so forthrightly addressed the link between the spread of antisemitism in Europe and the great increase in the continent’s Muslim population. He’s the first, but he won’t be the last. And he was speaking to Jewish leaders from around the world, who have now had that connection made, linking Muslim migrants to a precipitous rise in antisemitism, so that they too can bring that same message back to the Jewish communities they represent around the world. There’s no longer any excuse for avoiding the subject that is on the minds of many Jews — the connection between the spread of antisemitism and the increased numbers of Muslims in the West.

Islam is terroristically Antisemitic and Anti-Christian as taught in Islam’s Quran(eg. Quran 5:51; 98:6-7 and more) and in Islamic Law, Sharia. Allah in Quran 5:51 says, “O you who have believed[Muslims], do not take the Jews and the Nasara(Christians) as friends. They are friends to one another. And whoever among you takes them as friends, so surely he is of them. Surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”
Islam and its Muslims fund, promote, and practice ideological subversion, propaganda, bigotry, discrimination, deceit, supremacy, segregation, violence, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Quran, and Muslim actions should be legally challenged with a multi-faceted force of Western Laws like Muslims wield against Americans and Westerners. Like a Foreign Terrorist Organization(FTO) designated by the USA Secretary of State, Islam is a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION(MTO) fighting against Non-Muslims and NOT A PEACEFUL religion under Western Law because Islam funds, teaches, and promotes a Terrorist, Criminal Organization with Muslims as Terrorists for Allah. Under Islamic Law, it is a Crime against Allah for Muslims to neglect performing Terrorism against Non-Muslims; Jihad means warfare against Non-Muslims to ESTABLISH THE RELIGION, ISLAM(Quran 9:29; Muslim Law Manual – “Reliance of the Traveller”, o9.0 and more). More specifically, Islam is a Muslim Terrorist Ideology and Murderous, Criminal Enterprise of intolerance, continuous war, discrimination, segregation, supremacy, genocide, polygamy, propaganda, deceit, hatred, incitement, sedition, rape, terrorism, and violence against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran(Quran 2:216; 4:89,95; 8:12,39,74; 9:5, 21, 29, 36, 41, 49, 88, 111, 123; 21:92; 49:15 and more).

European laws that would greatly reduce the number of migrants from Muslim countries.
1 Even if you manage to arrive in an EU country there are no money financial benefits available for Migrants.
2 You must show means of support including carrying enough money and/or the promise of a job. If the offer turns out to be bogus you will be immediately deported.
3 Arrest for any of the following will lead to immediate deportation to your country of origin: arrest for vagrancy, arrest for a criminal act, arrest based on 2 incidents of complaints lodged against you by a citizen of our country.
4 Disturbance by you for any political demonstration, marching in public, defacing any public or private property with graffiti of any kind.
5 Arrest for attacking a citizen or visitor, physically or by speech, for any reason or purpose leads to immediate deportation.
Edward Amos Brandwein says
Excellent proposal!
If only this set of laws were enacted in each and every European country, today’s reality would be entirely different.

You’re being far too kind. We need to stop acting like pussies and take our countries back from the invaders BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Waiting for decades for them to leave while they reproduce like drugged up rats is unacceptable. The time of disenfranchising the native population is OVER.
If we don’t act NOW, we deserve the hell ahead of us. We see the problem and it’s up to us to fix it. But we cannot allow “compromise” to let this cancer spread further. Look around. London, Paris, Dearborn and countless other cities are already majority foreigners. The time is up. We need a CRUSADE, not a weak attempt at remigration.
P.S.
Just want to point out that I like your ideas. I’m just done playing the game. Look at where “compromise” and kindness has gotten us.

Yes, the window of opportunity is rapidly closing – especially in Western Europe.

Islamic immigration also carries high rates of reproduction with it into Europe, another factor that will eventually erode resistance to anti-Jew sentiment regardless of any laws that exist to suppress it.
The Quran is the most anti-Jew, center of a religion, book in existence and as such is ingrained long before even teenage peer social influence becomes dominant.
J.D. Vance recently warned the EU about the eventual cost of non-integrating immigration and keeping their populist political parties from power. The typical response was essentually, “Dear hick, how could you lecture us? we are the best read and greatest elite thinkers of Europe, erudite in all the great philosophers.” They couldn’t say it was untrue.
General Patton said he defeated Rommel because he read his tank warfare book. Have the leaders of Europe read the Quran which is a war manual besides directing personal relations to Allah? Do they take it seriously? If not, they are too ignorant to be trusted with ruling a nation and will likely be faced with a political revolution.

Just a quick note : leftist Jews like George Soros don’t care about Muslim “antisemitism”
They see white Europeans as the real enemy.
Let’s send this religious war back where it belongs – in the Middle-east. Remigration and deportation are the only answers.
Cynthia says
Leftist Jews are for leftists of any color. What an anti Semitic thing to say! You might as well be an Islamic extremist, “liberty”.
Jews are white Europeans too and suffer the most from Muslim intolerance and violence.
