during which time he organised campaigns ‘combating extremism’<ref>Charlotte Seligman, ‘College heads urge action against campus militants’, Jewish Chronicle, 10 July 1998, p.9.</ref> and lobbied the Home
Secretary to ban Islamist groups on campus.<ref>Damian Schogger, ‘Radical Muslims defy ban to spread
campus propaganda’, Jewish Chronicle, 30 October 1998, p.0.</ref> He attended the annual Herzliya Conference as a representative of the Zabludowicz Trust in 2003 and as a representative of Tamares in
