Minister to Charlie Kirk: Exposing Epstein Doesn't Mean Platforming Antisemites
The Diaspora Minister implored the TPUSA director to be careful in platforming people who claim to expose the truth but who are often just antisemites.
Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli wrote an open letter to Charlie Kirk today (Sunday) regarding the use of open antisemites as part of a campaign to expose the truth about Jeffrey Epstein:
Dear Charlie,
Like many others, I’ve been following your remarkable journey from afar - your pursuit of truth, integrity, and love for your country.
Very few young people are as gifted as you, and even fewer possess such a strong moral compass. I watched Tucker Carlson’s speech at your conference and your debate with Megyn Kelly, and I must admit I was filled with sorrow.
I don’t know whether Jeffrey Epstein was an intelligence asset for any agency. I would certainly like to know. In particular, I would like to understand his connection to the kind of people who sought to sell out the Land of Israel to the Palestinians, people like the former Israeli prime ministers Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert, who both appear in previously published Epstein-related documents.
Still, as you have noted, there is no evidence - none - that Epstein was acting on behalf of the State of Israel. Yet the message conveyed at your conference, with Tucker Carlson as keynote speaker just days after his sycophantic interview with the Iranian terror regime, was unmistakable: Israel was behind Epstein.
The audience applauded. Everyone seemed pleased, especially the Qataris and their jihadist terror channel, Al Jazeera. (By the way, it would be fascinating to uncover the depth and nature of their connection to influencers such as Tucker Carlson and others).
We see Candace Owens publicly claim that “the Israelis knew in advance about 9/11 and didn’t warn the U.S.”; that “Israelis killed JFK”; that “Jews committed a Holocaust against Christians even worse than Hitler’s”; and that “Mengele never performed horrific experiments in Auschwitz.”
We see Daryl Cooper, Carlson's best friend, appear in friendly interviews with Carlson, insisting that the Holocaust was a form of “mercy killing” for political prisoners who would have otherwise starved to death - and suggesting that perhaps Hitler “wasn’t such a bad guy.”
We have a serious problem. A wave of antisemitism - the likes of which America hasn’t seen since the 1930s- is gathering momentum. And so I’m asking you: please stay true to your strong moral compass and speak out against antisemitism, whether it comes from the woke left or the woke right.
The conservative movement is a global movement. Its compass is the pursuit of objective truth and a deep respect for family, community, and faith.
There is nothing wrong with demanding complete transparency about Jeffrey Epstein. But there is something profoundly wrong with elevating Holocaust deniers and neo-Nazis like Daryl Cooper, and conspiracy theorists like Candace Owens. Owens, Cooper, and Carlson are not conservatives; they are full-blown wokists just wearing different costumes.
With respect,
Amichai Chikli
Minister of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism
State of Israel
