Latest revision as of 10:20, 13 May 2022
UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) is a British organisation which describes itself as using the law 'to combat attempts to undermine, attack or delegitimise Israel'.[1]
It is a company limited by guarantee and claims to have worked on a range of projects including disrupting boycott activism, a flotilla sailing to Gaza, and working on cases in relation to universities and the media.[2] Previous company names UK LFI LIMITED 07 Jan 2011 - 28 Nov 2012; ACTION 4 PEACE LIMITED 05 Oct 2010 - 07 Jan 2011.[3]
UKLFI Charitable Trust is also a registered charity (Charity number: 1169041).[4]
It appears to have close links to Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.[5]
History
UK Lawyers for Israel has been operating since approximately 2011. It was co-founded by Jonathan Turner[6] whom the Jewish Chronicle reported was also 'head of the Zionist Federation's legal group'.[7]
A page on the official website of Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs dated May 2011 states that the group was created 'following the Maale HaChamisha conference'.[8]
Besides having taken place in Israel, the precise nature of this conference is not clear. However, in 2012, Hebrew-language daily Israel Hayom reported that Israeli government officials were ‘training legal experts around the world to deal with the demands of delegitimization against Israel’ and it is possible that UKLFI have emerged from such an event, making it, effectively, a civil society organisation established at the behest of a government.[9]
Activities
Among other activities UKLFI has held a two-day seminar 'jointly with the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Israel Embassy in London' on 17-18 June 2012, 'Legal Challenges and Opportunities in Israeli Policy and Advocacy'. Papers were presented on asymmetric warfare, defamation, BDS and other topics.[10]
It has also hosted a series of talks by Brooke Goldstein, director of the U.S.-based Lawfare Project in Manchester and London in March 2012. In September 2011 it held a roundtable discussion chaired by Dr Guglielmo Verdirame on the implications of the Palestinian bid for recognition as a state.[11]
Criticism of Yachad, proposed ZF legal tours
In March 2014, UKLFI reportedly discussed plans to organise trips to the occupied territories 'run by the Zionist Federation with UKLFI participation' to counteract the 'distorted anti-Israel impression' or tours currently run by liberal Zionist group Yachad. Their aim would be to provide what the group described as 'a balanced picture of the legal side of Israel’s civil administration of Judea and Samaria' (the West Bank).[12]
Facilitating civil actions against protesters
In April 2014 it was reported that UKLFI had 'secured the support of an unnamed MP' who had agreed to propose an amendment to the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act which would allow audience members or performers to seek damages from activists and impose injunctions against future protests. Liberal Democrat peer Lord Carlilse reportedly agreed to back the amendment in the House of Lords. The move followed protests against Israeli state-sponsored musicians at the Royal Albert Hall in 2011 and at the Globe Theatre in 2012.[13]
Attacking charities
Among the charities UKLFI has targeted are War on Want, Medical Aid for Palestinians and Interpal.
