| + | The [[Jewish National Fund]] was created in 1901 at the [[Fifth Zionist congress]] in Basel, Switzerland. It is reported that a Glasgow committee of the JNF was created in the same year. Other sources state that the Glasgow JNF was meeting as early as 1911. The organisation opened its first office in Glasgow in 1935 and was known as the [[Glasgow Commission of the Jewish National Fund]]. | ||

| + | The Jewish Chronicle reported: | ||
| + | |||
| + | :But the club strongly opposed the calls for a demonstration. Its spokesman, [[Iain Jamieson]], said: “Celtic Football Club believes in football as a powerful medium for social integration. Celtic has always been a club for all people, regardless of gender, age, religion, race, politics or ability. We therefore believe Celtic Park is no place for a political demonstration”. | ||
| + | |||
| + | :Outside the ground on Wednesday night around 60 volunteers from STUC and SPSC tried to hand out rolled-up Palestinian flags and anti-Israel material to supporters. But each campaigner was immediately surrounded by a large crowd, furiously debating the issue, with many fans shouting: “We don’t want you here.” | ||
| + | |||
| + | :Match stewards approached the campaigners telling them to stop handing out flags and fliers on Celtic FC property. | ||
| + | |||
| + | :Some flags were taken inside, though not anywhere near what the organisers had hoped. More than 300 Hapoel Tel Aviv supporters, with a dedicated high security presence, flew Israeli flags and banners. | ||
| + | |||
| + | :At the end of the match a campaigner tried to run on to the pitch with a Palestinian flag. He was quickly escorted away by police, and booed by Celtic fans. | ||
| + | |||
| + | :[[Steven Purcell]], leader of [[Glasgow City Council]], wrote to the STUC to express his “disgust” at their using a football match for political purposes. | ||
| + | |||
| + | :[[David Links]], a trustee of JNF/KKL Scotland, which hosted a reception for the Hapoel team and Israeli ambassador Ron Prosor at Celtic Park, is a long-time Celtic fan. He said: “I think it is totally wrong for the [[STUC]] to be involved in a football match. I feel disappointed at the fans who did pick up flags. There could have been serious aggravation here.” | ||
| + | |||
| + | :Celtic fan [[Alan Levy]] said: “It was disgraceful to see campaigners handing out the flags. People didn’t even understand what they meant, and it was very worrying to see people accepting them.” | ||
| + | |||
| + | :Israeli ambassador Mr Prosor said: “Sport prevailed over politics. Since Hapoel were originally a team based on the Israeli unions, it seems ironic that people demonstrated against them.”<ref>Robyn Rosen [https://www.thejc.com/news/celtic-reject-disgraceful-protest-at-tel-aviv-match-dosmji3q Celtic reject 'disgraceful' protest at Tel Aviv match: The STUC has been condemned for “politicising football” by handing out Palestinians flags at the Hapoel Tel Aviv/Celtic match].

| + | ===Relations with JNF UK - 2007-2019=== | ||
| + | |||
| + | According to the ''Jewish Chronicle'': | ||
| + | |||
| + | :JNF UK this week announced a new agreement to support [[Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael]] in Jerusalem, finally putting their costly legal dispute behind them. In a deal reached in Jerusalem, JNF UK agreed to fundraise for KKL projects in Israel, while retaining freedom to support additional causes of its own choice in Israel. [[JNF UK]], which will remain an independent charity, will be able to use both the JNF and KKL logos in the UK under licence from the KKL, while KKL will refrain from operating its own branch here. [[KKL Scotland]] - which broke away from JNF UK two years ago - will return to the JNF fold as a subsidiary. | ||
| + | |||
| + | :Three years ago, KKL announced it was setting up its own British office, unleashing a legal conflict over the right to use the names JNF and Jewish National Fund in the UK that cost the two organisations around £4 million. The two sides formally announced the end of hostilities in January this year. [[Samuel Hayek]], who was appointed the new chairman of JNF UK, said: "I am delighted to have been able successfully to resolve all disputes between JNF UK and KKL. It is particularly pleasing to conclude on such a positive note as we look forward to Rosh Hashanah." He added: "Now we can all turn our attention to our primary goal of fundraising more effectively for those projects in Israel that JNF UK and its donors are so passionate about, especially the enormous challenge of the redevelopment of the Negev."<ref>Simon Rocker [https://www.thejc.com/news/jnf-uk-decides-to-back-old-enemy-charity-v3ppdul5 JNF UK decides to back old enemy charity] September 12, 2008 14:29</ref> | ||
| + | The Jewish Telegraph reported: | ||
| + | |||
| + | :The 12-year-long strained relationship between JNF KKL Scotland and JNF UK has thawed following a mini-conference in Glasgow this week. Before 2007 there were offices of the Jewish National Fund in London, Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester, as well as Glasgow and Dublin. London decided to close the three provincial JNF offices. Dublin remained part of the family and Scotland became independent and changed its name to JNF KKL Scotland, raising funds exclusively for [[Keren Kayemet L’Israel]]. JNF KKL Scotland president [[Stanley Lovatt]] arranged the mini-conference, attended by representatives of JNF from Israel, London and Dublin “in an effort to ensure that in future everyone works together to raise funds for Israel”. The result was an agreement that Glasgow, Dublin and London would work together on various JNF projects and cooperate on joint events. [[JNF UK]] CEO [[Yonatan Galon]] said: “It was a real pleasure to visit Scotland and strengthen the friendship with our JNF cousins. “All members of the global JNF family are reunited in our shared commitment to building the future of Israel.” Mr Lovatt added: “I am delighted that after a huge gap in communication we will be working together with our colleagues in London and Ireland for the benefit of our worldwide organisation that was established in 1901. “I am looking forward to planning joint events in similar fashion to the celebrity dinners that we have held over the past few years.<ref>[https://archive.ph/wip/zetoN JNF KKL SCOTLAND AND JNF UK BURY THE HATCHET AFTER 12 YEARS] 27 September 2019: 1.</ref> | ||

The KKL (Scotland) Charitable Trust (Company number SC316740) was incorporated on 16 February 2007. [1]
The charitable form succeeded earlier incarnations of the Scottish branch of the London based JNF UK. From around 1935 when it opened its first office in Glasgow it was known as the Glasgow Commission of the Jewish National Fund.
'Address: 222 Fenwick Road, Giffnock, Glasgow G46 6UE
Regulatory Type: Standard The KKL (Scotland) Charitable Trust is a corporate member of KKL Scotland Charitable Trust. The objectives include the "relief of poverty", "advancement of education", "advancement of environmental protection or improvement." It also supports the Israel-based "charitable projects of Keren Kayemeth Leisrael (KKL Israel) which are dedicated to developing the land of Israel.” [2] Hence, KKL (Scotland) Charitable Trust is a subsidiary of the Jewish National Fund.

History
The Jewish National Fund was created in 1901 at the Fifth Zionist congress in Basel, Switzerland. It is reported that a Glasgow committee of the JNF was created in the same year. Other sources state that the Glasgow JNF was meeting as early as 1911. The organisation opened its first office in Glasgow in 1935 and was known as the Glasgow Commission of the Jewish National Fund.

The Jewish Chronicle reported:
- But the club strongly opposed the calls for a demonstration. Its spokesman, Iain Jamieson, said: “Celtic Football Club believes in football as a powerful medium for social integration. Celtic has always been a club for all people, regardless of gender, age, religion, race, politics or ability. We therefore believe Celtic Park is no place for a political demonstration”.
- Outside the ground on Wednesday night around 60 volunteers from STUC and SPSC tried to hand out rolled-up Palestinian flags and anti-Israel material to supporters. But each campaigner was immediately surrounded by a large crowd, furiously debating the issue, with many fans shouting: “We don’t want you here.”
- Match stewards approached the campaigners telling them to stop handing out flags and fliers on Celtic FC property.
- Some flags were taken inside, though not anywhere near what the organisers had hoped. More than 300 Hapoel Tel Aviv supporters, with a dedicated high security presence, flew Israeli flags and banners.
- At the end of the match a campaigner tried to run on to the pitch with a Palestinian flag. He was quickly escorted away by police, and booed by Celtic fans.
- Steven Purcell, leader of Glasgow City Council, wrote to the STUC to express his “disgust” at their using a football match for political purposes.
- David Links, a trustee of JNF/KKL Scotland, which hosted a reception for the Hapoel team and Israeli ambassador Ron Prosor at Celtic Park, is a long-time Celtic fan. He said: “I think it is totally wrong for the STUC to be involved in a football match. I feel disappointed at the fans who did pick up flags. There could have been serious aggravation here.”
- Celtic fan Alan Levy said: “It was disgraceful to see campaigners handing out the flags. People didn’t even understand what they meant, and it was very worrying to see people accepting them.”
- Israeli ambassador Mr Prosor said: “Sport prevailed over politics. Since Hapoel were originally a team based on the Israeli unions, it seems ironic that people demonstrated against them.”[8]
2010 Pro-Am golf tournament
Almost 130 golfers were attracted to the JNF KKL Scotland Pro-am tournament at Glasgow’s Bonnyton Golf Club. The event raised £25,000 for a park in the Negev community of Mercaz-Shapira. The Glasgow Hilton Hotel was the main sponsor.

Relations with JNF UK - 2007-2019
According to the Jewish Chronicle:
- JNF UK this week announced a new agreement to support Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael in Jerusalem, finally putting their costly legal dispute behind them. In a deal reached in Jerusalem, JNF UK agreed to fundraise for KKL projects in Israel, while retaining freedom to support additional causes of its own choice in Israel. JNF UK, which will remain an independent charity, will be able to use both the JNF and KKL logos in the UK under licence from the KKL, while KKL will refrain from operating its own branch here. KKL Scotland - which broke away from JNF UK two years ago - will return to the JNF fold as a subsidiary.
- Three years ago, KKL announced it was setting up its own British office, unleashing a legal conflict over the right to use the names JNF and Jewish National Fund in the UK that cost the two organisations around £4 million. The two sides formally announced the end of hostilities in January this year. Samuel Hayek, who was appointed the new chairman of JNF UK, said: "I am delighted to have been able successfully to resolve all disputes between JNF UK and KKL. It is particularly pleasing to conclude on such a positive note as we look forward to Rosh Hashanah." He added: "Now we can all turn our attention to our primary goal of fundraising more effectively for those projects in Israel that JNF UK and its donors are so passionate about, especially the enormous challenge of the redevelopment of the Negev."[10]
The Jewish Telegraph reported:
- The 12-year-long strained relationship between JNF KKL Scotland and JNF UK has thawed following a mini-conference in Glasgow this week. Before 2007 there were offices of the Jewish National Fund in London, Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester, as well as Glasgow and Dublin. London decided to close the three provincial JNF offices. Dublin remained part of the family and Scotland became independent and changed its name to JNF KKL Scotland, raising funds exclusively for Keren Kayemet L’Israel. JNF KKL Scotland president Stanley Lovatt arranged the mini-conference, attended by representatives of JNF from Israel, London and Dublin “in an effort to ensure that in future everyone works together to raise funds for Israel”. The result was an agreement that Glasgow, Dublin and London would work together on various JNF projects and cooperate on joint events. JNF UK CEO Yonatan Galon said: “It was a real pleasure to visit Scotland and strengthen the friendship with our JNF cousins. “All members of the global JNF family are reunited in our shared commitment to building the future of Israel.” Mr Lovatt added: “I am delighted that after a huge gap in communication we will be working together with our colleagues in London and Ireland for the benefit of our worldwide organisation that was established in 1901. “I am looking forward to planning joint events in similar fashion to the celebrity dinners that we have held over the past few years.[11]
