Norman Cohen is a committee member of the British Israel Group (BIG). His wife Lola Cohen is also a member of the organisation. They live together in the illegal Israeli settlement of Gilo in southern Jerusalem.[1]

In October 2004, in his capacity as the Chairman of the BIG Cohen wrote a letter to the British Medical Journal criticising an article on the Israel-Palestine conflict published by the journal.[2] In his letter he requested that the BMJ address its supposed bias against Israel by publishing an article by former Director-General of Israel's Ministry of Health, Theo Dov Golan in which Golan claimed that: 'Israel has set an example of a level of humanitarian medical aid to others including Palestinians, which no other nation can compete with.'[2]
