The Anglo-Israel Association (AIA) is a charity founded in 1949 by Sir Wyndham Deedes, a Zionist sympathiser, the year after the foundation of the state of Israel. According to its website the AIA has 3 main objectives:

1. To support educational programmes enabling the people of both countries to deepen their understanding of each other.

2. To promote a wider understanding of Israel in the UK.

3. To foster goodwill between the two countries.[1]

The AIA organises a wide range of activities ‘to promote education in particular and information in general about Israel.’[2] In the past, it has promoted talks by neo-conservative speaker Emanuele Ottolenghi and it has debated against the academic boycott of Israel. It has links with the Henry Jackson Society and the Israeli Institute for National Security Studies (INSS).

It is partially funded by foundations, including the Charles Wolfson Charitable Trust and the Lewis Family Trust, that are linked to Zionist and conservative thinks tanks.


Activities

The AIA organises a wide range of activities ‘to promote education in particular and information in general about Israel.’[3]

Ambassadors’ Round Table

Since 2009 it has organised every year an Ambassadors roundtable on a specific topic, bringing together academics, MPS, diplomats and scientist from both Israel and Britain. The 4th Ambassadors' Roundtable was held on Renewable Technology on 16 October 2012 in the Great Gallery in Lancaster House. The conference, opened by AlA's Chairman Lord Bew, was chaired by Oliver Morton, senior Editor of The Economist and the keynote speech was given by Nick Butler, Professor and Chair of the Kings Policy Institute. The Opening Remarks were given by Matthew Gould, UK's Ambassador to Israel, and Daniel Taub, Ambassador of Israel to the UK.[4] The Third Ambassadors’ Round Table held on the 3 November 2011 was titled ‘The Challenges and Opportunities of Moving from Innovation to Entrepreneurship: The UK and Israeli Perspective’. The Second Ambassadors Roundtable, held on Tuesday 26th October 2010 looked at problems and issues relating to media coverage of Israel, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and wider Middle East and brought together a journalists, media commentators, scholars and parliamentarians from Israel and the UK. Present was also Nachman Shai MK, Kadima Party Member who commented:

The conference was very important and focused on a very critical issue, how the media deals with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the way Israel is portrayed by the liberal press in Britain. We have a lot of questions on how the British media treats Israel and why Israel is treated differently. The conference delved into these issues and provided an excellent insight into these concerns.’[5]

Annual Dinner

Each year AIA holds an Annual Dinner attracting over 400 guests and supporters prominent in British society. The 2012 Annual Dinner hold at the Savoy Hotel generated an income of £55,781.[6] The guest speaker of the night was Major General Aharon Zeevi Farkash the former head of Israeli Military Intelligence. According to the AIA, website, Major Farkash’s main concern was that the West did not realise that its true enemy is Radical Sunni Islam.[7] The Israeli Ambassador, Daniel Taub was also present.

Speakers’ Programme

From 2006 to 2010, the AIA organised a programme of regular speaking tours every two years by Prof Shai Feldman of Brandeis Univeity. He was formerly Head of the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv University. The center's current director, General Amos Yadlin the former head of Israeli Military Intelligence and deputy commander of the Israeli Air Force[8], gave a round table briefing in 2012 for the AIA on 'The Security Challenges of the State of Israel in the 21st Century with a focus on the Iranian Nuclear Threat'[9]

Feldman presently serves on the Board of Directors of Harvard University's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.[10] Feldman received from AIA £33,604 in 2009 and £81,556 in 2010.[11] It is not clear if this money went all to Friedman or also for general organisation expenses. In 2012, Feldman gave lectures at the Conservative Middle East Council, Henry Jackson Society and the Israel Diaspora Trust.[12]

In 2010, AIA started a collaboration with Prof. Benny Morris from Ben Gurion University and Dr. Emanuele Ottolenghi of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.[13] In 2011 Benny Morris gave lectures sponsored by AIA at the London School of Economics and the International Institute for Strategic Studies.[14]

Ottolenghi has written op-eds for the National Review, New York Sun, Jerusalem Post, the Guardian, mostly focusing on Israel and Iran. He claimed in 2003 in The Guardian that ‘anti-zionism is anti-semitism’, writing: 'by negating Zionism, by claiming that Zionism equals racism, goes further and denies the Jews the right to identify, understand and imagine themselves - and consequently behave as - a nation. Anti-Zionists deny Jews a right that they all too readily bestow on others, first of all Palestinians.'[15]

He has appeared twice at the UK House of Commons invited by the Henry Jackson Society and on both occasions he pushed for attacks/ sanctions against Iran.[16] In 2011 Ottolenghi also spoke at Pembroke College (Cambridge), Lincoln College (Oxford) and at the University of York.

AIA sponsored the programme ‘Israel: Historical, Political and Social Aspects’, a series of lectures, workshops and conferences at the University of Oxford. Other supporters of the programme are The Rothschild Foundation Europe, Lewis Family Charitable Trust and The Porter Foundation.[17] The Lewis Family Charitable Trust also funds the AIA.

AIA/Sternberg Award

The AIA/Sternberg is an annual award given for lasting contribution to the furtherance of good relations between Britain and Israel’.[18] The prize has a value of £1000. Recipients to date:

  • Moshe and Hannah Raviv. Moshe Raviv was ambassador to Israel from 1993 to 1997. He is the author of 'Israel at Fifty: Five Decades of Struggle for Peace'.[19]
  • Lady Sainsbury and Patricia Park
  • Canon Andrew White
  • Lady Cocks
  • Sir Patrick Moberly and Lilian Hochhauser. Moberly was Ambassador to Israel, from 1981 to1984, and then continued as Ambassador to South Africa from 1984 to 1988.
  • 2012 winner: David Pryce-Jones.[20] Born on 15 February 1936 Vienna, Austria) Jones is a conservative British author and commentator. In his 1989 book The Closed Circle, Pryce-Jones examined what he considered to be the reasons for the backward state of the Arab world. A review described the book as more of an 'indictment' than an examination of the Arab world. Pryce-Jones considers as a negative factor in Arab society the influence of Islam, which hinders efforts to build a Western style society where the family and clan are not the dominant political unit. 3 In his acceptance speech for the award he stated:
Throughout the continent, the lingering death of the basic instinct of self-preservation is in complete political, intellectual and emotional opposition to Israel’s will to survive. The vilification and criminalisation of Israel for defending itself has the further consequence of making Jews out to be destroyers of the peace, and that is an indispensable step in normalising the 1930s and the Holocaust. Israel is currently presented by Islamism and its supporters with a test greater than any other in the state’s history, but it has the life-force to deal with whatever materialises.[21]

Scholarships

21 scholarships were granted in 2012.[22] In 2011, Daniel Hochhauser, vice chairman of AIA, debated against the academic boycott of Israel in an event at LSE.

People

Founder: Wyndham Deedes

Sir Wyndham Deedes was born in Kent, England, in 1883. In 1915 he was a brigadier general in Cairo where he worked to secure Arab support against the Turks. [45] From 1920 to 1922 he served as chief secretary under High Commissioner Sir Herbert Samuel. He strongly condemned the Arab riots of 1921 ans Deedes authorised the enlistment of Jewish volunteers to help defend Jaffa and Tel Aviv. He retired from military life in 1923 and moved to London, UK. In 1943 he founded the British Association for the Jewish National Home in Palestine. A year after the creation of the state of Israel in 1949 he formed the Anglo-Israel Association. He died in 1956.

Deedes was a deeply religious Christian and believed that the only way Christians could atone for their treatment towards the Jews was by working to establish a Jewish state in Palestine. [46] In 1918 he met and became close friends with Chaim Weizmnann, a Zionist leader who later became the first president of Israel. [47] In 1926 Deedes was invited by the Executive of the Zionist Organisation of Poland for a two week tour. [48]

On March 14th 1927, Deedes and Weizmnann attended a banquet at the mount Royal Hotel in Canada to celebrate the opening of a local branch of Keren Hayoda, a Zionist fund-raising organisation.[49] The same week the two friends also attended a lunch at the Commodore Hotel. According to the Jewish Daily Bulletin, Weizmann stated: ‘We Jews have no titles to confer. We have only one expression which may be properly applied to Sir Wyndham. He is one of the ‘Chassidei Umoth Ha’olam’ (Righteous men of the nations) and as such he will long be remembered.’[50] Wyndham also claimed his support for Zionism on the basis of moral and historical reasons, stating ‘I often fail to understand why some view Zionism as a purely national movement which is totally secular and is opposed to religion. So far as Jewish life goes, the national idea and religion are so closely interwoven that they are inseparable'.[51]

In 2006, his nephew William Deedes wrote an article in the Daily Telegraph stating that ‘Muslims can never conform to our ways’.[52]
