Permission to be Racist: the Fundraising Regulator defends the JNF UK
JVL Introduction
The Fundraising Regulator has released a report dismissing the complaint against the UK branch of the Jewish National Fund (JNF) that it promotes the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians and aids the Israeli military.
The Regulator supervises the charity sector, in collaboration with the Charity Commission. The Commission has repeatedly refused to investigate whether the JNF UK’s activities are compatible with its charitable status. The Regulator’s remit being narrower, the complainants were restricted to challenging JNF UK publicity for being misleading as to the organisation’s real aims.
Below, the Stop the JNF UK campaign (which has the support of PSC England and Wales as well as Scottish PSC) unpicks a report that is more eager to defend vested Interests aligned with British foreign policy than to seriously address the issues it was supposed to examine. The Regulator’s report is available on the Stop the JNF UK website here.

Permission to be Racist: the Fundraising Regulator defends the JNF UK

A shoddy shower of yet more self-serving cant from a so-called regulator, IMO. But, UK charity regulation is contradictory in general in my observation. And just look at the EHRC, the UK equality regulator, for biased shoddy work. How about the charitable status of that highly politically biased organisation, in my observation, the Campaign Against Antisemitism? No fine, carry on…
Just did a search so as ascertain if any of the MSM have covered this – ie the Guardian or the Indy – and came across the following near the top of the results that came up:
Fact Sheet: What is the Jewish National Fund?
In August 1937, David Ben-Gurion, head of the Zionist colonial leadership in Palestine and Israel’s first prime minister, alluded to the JNF’s role in dispossessing Palestinians while arguing in favor of larger-scale ethnic cleansing (‘transfer”) during a meeting of the Twentieth Zionist Congress in Zurich, Switzerland, stating:
“You are no doubt aware of the JNF’s activity in this respect. Now a transfer of a completely different scope will have to be carried out. In many parts of the country new settlement will not be possible without transferring the Arab fellahin [peasants]… Jewish power [in Palestine], which grows steadily, will also increase our possibilities to carry out this transfer on a large scale.”

PS And I naturally assume that JVL has still heard nothing from the Charity Commission in respect of its complaint against the CAA (and just in case anyone didn’t see it……):

Is it not possible to take the Charity Commission to court over this?. The Commission’s failure to carry out its legally assigned duty goes beyond negligence and moves into the realm of suppression of the truth.
