The Anglo-Israel Friendship League was a British based pro-Israel organisation created in 1969. It had been preceded by the Anglo-Israel Friendship League of Finchley of which Margaret Thatcher was president.
Timeline
- 1969 - According to a 1969 report by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency:
- The Anglo-Israel Friendship League held its inaugural meeting in the Southgate Town Hall ignoring threats from Arab terrorist groups here. The League is composed of non Jewish groups interested in furthering Anglo-Israeli friendship. The meeting was addressed by Sir Stephen McAddon, a Conservative Member of Parliament, and Moshe Davis, educational director of the Jewish National Fund here. About 40 persons applied for membership.[1]
- 1971 - A meeting was held in Edinburgh last week to consider the formation of a local branch of the Anglo-Israel Friendship League. Mr John Levy gave an account of the purpose and work of the league and it was decided that a branch be established to be called the Edinburgh Friends of Israel.[2]
