Institute for Jewish Policy Research

The Institute for Jewish Policy Research is a London based Jewish think-tank. Its former director Tony Lerman has expressed public criticism of Israel and advocated the disappearance of the Jewish state into a federated Israel/Palestine.

History

Although the Institute was founded in 1996 it is in fact the successor organisation to the Institute of Jewish Affairs which was incorporated under the same company number in December 1966, though it had been created in 1941 in the US by the American Jewish Congress and the World Jewish Congress.
