Palestine Declassified

First aired on 25 February 2023 Latin America and Palestine: Latin America is a support hub for the Palestinian cause. From Venezuela to Brazil to Chile, the call for the liberation of Palestine is a powerful force to be reckoned with. There have been many examples of Latin American leaders taking strong stands to support the Palestinian resistance. On the political level, Chile, Paraguay, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay, Ecuador, and Venezuela have all recognized Palestinian sovereignty over the West Bank and Gaza. Chile is home to almost half a million Palestinians, who constitute around 2.5% of the country's population. The feeling of solidarity with Palestine in Chile is palpable, and while significant Israeli interests do exist in Chilean society, there have been some interesting developments. In 2022, the newly elected President of Chile, Gabriel Boric, canceled the credentials ceremony for the new Israeli ambassador and promptly dismissed him from the Presidential Palace when he heard of the Israeli military killing of Odia Salah in Jenin. It has since been announced that a Chilean embassy will be established in Palestine. Aside from the political side of the equation, there are also material connections between the resistance and Latin America. But there have even been several fighters from Latin America who joined the ranks of Palestinian resistance groups and directly participated in operations, like Carlos the Jackal, who attempted to assassinate the Vice President of the British Zionist Federation at his home in London. The late great President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, refused to condemn Carlos the Jackal, even under pressure from the French embassy, stating that he was a good friend and a steadfast fighter for the Palestinian people. The US government and other nefarious actors have long accused Hugo Chavez of harboring active cells for the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah in Venezuela. It was alleged that Chavez provided safe haven to the only group which has successfully driven Israel out of Lebanon, the mighty Hezbollah, in the Venezuelan territory of Margarita Island. The current Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro, who himself has been the target of several US assassination attempts, has publicly spoken of his close relationship with the late resistance leader General Qasim Soleimani. Maduro claims that when Venezuela was subject to US cyberattacks, it was Soleimani who came and secured Venezuela's systems from North American skullduggery. When asked about his country's commitment to the liberation of Palestine, Maduro responded, "No one in this world dares ask us to abandon Palestine. It is a sin just thinking about abandoning Palestine. Palestine is the sacred land of mankind; Israel's crimes against the Palestinian people will be paid for by the occupation one day." Despite Israel's best attempts to subvert the will of billions across the world, Palestine is not alone, and Latin America stands firmly with it.

What you need to know about Zionist donors to Harvard University and their possible role in the cancellation of pro-Palestinian voices

Harvard University in the US has been embroiled in controversy after the administration cancelled the appointment of Kenneth Roth

Harvard University in the United States has been embroiled in controversy after the administration cancelled the appointment of former Executive Director of Human Rights Watch, Ken Roth, as a fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School. Human Rights Watch has rendered significant services to US imperialism, regularly providing damning reports on the official enemies of empire, often based on questionable sources. However, the one red line that Human Rights Watch and Ken Roth crossed was the Palestine line. It was said that Roth was refused his appointment due to his "anti-Israel bias." In 2021, Human Rights Watch joined other liberal organisations to condemn the Zionist entity as practising apartheid in the illegally occupied West Bank and Gaza. Oh, how late these bastions of human rights were to recognise the suffering of our people. The decision to cancel Ken Roth's appointment apparently fell to Doug Elmendorf, the dean of faculty at the Harvard Kennedy School. Elmendorf is also a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution. The Brookings Institution is funded by the Israel Institute, the US military, and arms companies like Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon. The Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution was established by major Israeli military funder Haim Saban. The fellows there included the former head of Shin Bet, Avi Dicter, and the head of research for Israeli Military Intelligence, Yosef Kupperwasser. Eventually, following public outcry over Ken Roth, Harvard was seen to reverse its decision to cancel him. Doug Elmendorf writes: "In the case of Mr. Roth, I now believe that I made an error in my decision not to appoint him as a fellow at our Carr Center for Human Rights. I am sorry that the decision inadvertently cast doubt on the mission of the school and our commitment to open debate in ways I had not intended and do not believe to be true. So all is well that ends well... Or is it? Ken Roth is far from the first person to be excluded from Harvard on this basis; in fact, US academic Cornel West claims that he was refused tenure at Harvard in 2021 due to the heavily pro-Israel donors at the prestigious university. It is also reported that the biologist Robert Trivers was disinvited from giving a lecture at Harvard in 2007 following an intervention from a major donor to the university. This donor was none other than convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who is reported by close confidants to have gathered kompromat for Israeli intelligence. Epstein, along with Israel lobbyist Alan Dershowitz, opposed Trivers' visit due to his previous criticism of Israel. Freedom of speech and even freedom of thought seem to be under threat at Harvard University

First aired on 15 October 2022 Honest Reporting or Dishonest Intimidation? A Palestinian who spent 4 years working for the New York Times in Gaza has been dismissed by the newspaper following the intervention of an Israel lobby group. Hosam Salem said he was "informed via an abrupt phone call from the US outlet that they will no longer work with him in the future." He even stated that the lobby group not only "succeeded in terminating his contract with the New York Times, it has also actively discouraged other international news agencies from collaborating with me and my two colleagues." Of course, The New York Times had no problem employing Ethan Bronner, Isabel Kershner, and David Brooks to write about Palestine while all three had children fighting in the Israeli military. But who was this lobby group behind his dismissal, and how close is it to the Israeli regime? The ironically named Honest Reporting was founded in 2006 by Joe Hyams who is a registered bureau speaker for the Israeli Embassy in the US. Another employee has been Simon Plosker who worked in the Spokesman Unit of the Israeli Military and also for UK Israel lobby group BICOM. The CEO of Honest Reporting until very recently was Daniel Pomerantz, who before that was a civilian volunteer in the Israeli Military. The current CEO, Jacki Alexander worked for Israel lobby giant AIPAC for 15 years. The role of Senior International Connector in Honest Reporting is served by David Mencer who led the Labour Friends of Israel in Britain for over a decade. He counts speech-writing for Prime Ministers Boris Johnson, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown on his resume. Raquela Karamson works as Digital Media Specialist at Honest Reporting. She previously was in the Central Command of the Israeli Military during the second Intifada. The lead designer at the pressure group is Bentzi Binder who was in the Israel military Givati combat infantry brigade. The current Senior Editor of Honest Reporting, Gidon Ben-Zvi, also was part of the Israeli military. The executive director of Honest Reporting, Gil Hofman says that "he does not hide the fact that he served in the Spokespersons Unit of the Israeli military." Palestine Declassified obtained footage of him talking openly about his organizations relationship with the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs: "Today I went to a meeting at the foreign ministry, where there were organizations that work in the pro-Israel sphere, that they hosted, that are non governmental organizations. And there were sixty of us there in the room and the government was explaining what it's doing and how they want to work better with us. It was quite impressive. We’'ve got WhatsApp groups now, run by the government, where we share information, working together." So, it is clear that Hosam Salem, a Palestinian photographer from Gaza was fired from his job at the New York Times, effectively by the Israeli military.

How BBC systematically prefers to put forward Israeli talking points

What you need to know about the BBC's long-standing pro-Israel bias

First aired on 11 February 2023 This episode will examine recent attacks on the BBC and lay out how BBC's ability to report on Palestine is constrained by multiple Zionist influences.

First aired on 9 October 2022 The Mahsa Amini deception According to prevailing Western wisdom Mahsa Amini was “murdered” in “police custody” after being savagely beaten in a Police van. In reality as quickly released CCTV footage showed the young Kurdish woman collapsed after a conversation with a female police officer inside the police station. She was then attended to and taken to an ambulance. Photographs of her in hospital show no head injuries and later medical staff released CT scans showing no recent injuries, though confirming that she had brain surgery some years previously. But the allegation that she was killed or murdered was the apparent spark used to whip up a frenzy of anti-government propaganda and reporting. Demonstrators have taken to the streets, in many Iranian cities and protests in support have erupted in the UK and elsewhere. But who pushed the “riot” button and why? The CIA and the US government are the key actors. The US government was frustrated that its demands were not met in the Vienna negotiations on the so called “nuclear deal” in late August; and acted also in response to the effective use of Iranian supplies of drones to help defeat the NATO proxy war in Ukraine. The US immediately activated its assets and agents to foment subversion. This involved direct attacks on the police and other security services – with eleven killed in the first ten days of protests - as well as extensive attacks on ambulances which appear to have been directed externally. On 1 October there was an armed terror attack on a police station in city of Zahedan, there were 19 deaths including four IRGC officers 32 IRGC members were also wounded Unsurprisingly both the National Endowment for Democracy and the Open Society Foundations of George Soros advertise that they are active in relation to Iran. Both engage in attempting to foment regime change in Iran as they do elsewhere. Standing behind the US on this question is the Zionist regime. The official Twitter account pf the regime openly states it “stands with” the protestors and launched a cynical “Remember Mahsa” campaign featuring Israeli settlers claiming to “stand in solidarity”. Israel funds key US lobby groups pushing for more sanctions on Iran including the Foundation for Defense of Democracies which functions as an agent of the Israeli government. United Against Nuclear Iran, is stuffed with Zionists. Both groups are effectively assets of the so-called “state of Israel”. Meanwhile, Israel continues to directly support and utilize Kurdish separatist groups which are currently engaged in subversion and terrorism against Iran. So, we see that both the US and Israel, via assets, agents, and proxies, come together to push the “riot” button in Iran.

First aired on 1 October 2022 Following the death of Elizabeth II, a new hereditary monarch has assumed power in Britain. Charles has received the full trust of the British establishment, with numerous prominent assets mobilised to beautify his image in the eyes of his subjects. The sinister figure has, however, served as an arms lobbyist for decades, smoothing arms sales for BAe Systems in the Middle East. He has also been found to accept cash gifts in plastic bags from Arab monarchs, purportedly in exchange for state honours. He is also believed by many to have had a role in the killing of his former wife, Diana, and her Muslim fiance, Dodi al-Fayed. Both the father of Dodi and Diana herself pointed the finger in his direction. Diana sent a letter to her lawyer only six months before she died, predicting the exact way she would be killed and claiming Charles was behind the plan. Clearly, Charles is of questionable character, but what has not been examined is his relationship with the Israel lobby. The monarch has been a key patron of the World Jewish Relief organisation for many years. The organisation shares funders with Zionist settlements and is funded by key Israel lobbyist and convicted fraudster Gerald Ronson. Charles described Israel lobbyist Jonathan Sacks as a "trusted guide, an inspired teacher, and a true and steadfast friend." But who was Jonathan Sacks? The former chief Rabbi of Britain was the President of the United Jewish Israel Appeal, which is one of the three national institutions of the Zionist entity. Sacks was also on the board of an anti-BDS Israel lobby group targeting schoolchildren, called One Voice. Jonathan Sacks also described anti-zionism as the new antisemitism, a key theme of the Israel lobby in Britain. He described the Israeli military as instilling "a sense of genuine altruism." The rabbi also heaped praise on the controversial Birthright Israel programme, claiming it was "perhaps the greatest single innovation in Jewish life in the past quarter century." His death was mourned by Israeli prime minister Yair Lapid, claiming that he "misses conversations with him" and that his presence in the world made him a "better person." Israeli President Isaac Herzog described Sacks as a "giant of a man." The Israel lobby in the UK seems to have been quietly mobilised around a campaign to improve Charles' image in the Muslim community. A senior fellow at the NATO think tank, the Atlantic Council, Ben Judah has been a key proponent of the idea that Charles harbours some deep affection for the Muslim faith. He presumptuously writes in the Washington Post that "Britain’s new head of state is a loud admirer of Islam, a critic of Western interventionism and a champion of multiculturalism." It is important to note that Ben Judah came of age writing for a key Israel lobby paper, the Jewish Chronicle, in which he proudly describes Jacob Farj Rafael (a peer of Judah's grandfather and adviser to Narendra Modi), as a hero and "one-man AIPAC in Calcutta." During the campaign against Corbyn, Judah also revealed himself as a fervent supporter of key Israel lobby groups, writing, "Only this year have I begun to feel truly proud of British Jews. We are proud of the dogged exposure done by Jewish activists like the Campaign Against Antisemitism. We are proud of The Jewish Chronicle for revealing a flourishing culture of conspiracy theories inside the Labour Party. Because who else is going to do it for you? It is clear a mobilisation to astroturf support for Charles is taking place in the Muslim community. Who exactly is behind it? Time will tell.

Watch: Larry Ellison's use of a charitable foundation in his UK operation

Are the British Ministry of Defence and Home Office compromised?

Palestine Declassified's visit at the offices of Solution not Sides and One Voice in London

Israel's three-pronged attack on the British education system

First aired on 4 February 2023 The British Ministry of Defense and Home Office are compromised. The data gathered by these institutions is handled directly by a company that explicitly defines itself as pro-Israel. This is the story of how a Zionist billionaire who funds the Israeli military, along with his IT company, is able to access the most sensitive data regarding British security. The Oracle company was founded by Larry Ellison in 1977. The firm adopted the name of a CIA operation, and the first service it provided was helping the intelligence agency build a database. Oracle later hired David Carney to head its information assurance center. Carney had previously been the third-highest-ranked employee at the CIA, where he worked for 32 years. Today, Oracle is the world's second-biggest IT software company, and Larry Ellison is the seventh-richest person in the world. He is still the top shareholder in Oracle and works as the Chief Technology Officer, as well as sitting as the executive chairman of the company, despite passing the role of CEO to Israeli Safra Catz. To shut down a protest against the NATO Summit in 2012, the US Police used Oracle software called Endeca Information Discovery. The mechanism was able to merge criminal records with protesters’ tweets, thus providing a more effective database of targets for surveillance. Larry Ellison was also instrumental in Elon Musk's bid to takeover Twitter, providing the longtime collaborator with the Security State with $1 billion to pursue his takeover. Less well known is the closeness of Ellison and, in fact, the whole company to Israel. In 2007, Ellison gave half a million dollars directly to the Israeli settlement of Sderot. Over a period of a decade, he donated over $26 million to the Israeli military through the funding vehicle, the Friends of the Israeli Occupation Forces. The current CEO of Oracle has explicitly stated the company's pro-Israel bias. Safra Catz exclaimed, "We are not flexible regarding our mission, and our commitment to Israel is second to none. If our employees don't agree with our mission to support the State of Israel, then maybe we aren't the right company for them. Larry and I are publicly committed to Israel." The extent of the company's relationship with Israel is even more clearly seen in the report that Ellison even offered the current Israeli Prime Minister, the fascist Benjamin Netanyahu, the position of director at Oracle. How can the data of the British Ministry of Defense and the Home Office be considered safe in these hands?

WATCH: The extent to which Iran supports Palestinian liberation

First aired on 24 September 2022 British Telecom (BT) enjoys the custom of almost 30 million people across the UK. It is the largest provider of broadband communications services in the state. It has a significant presence in 180 different countries across the world. It lays claim to the backbone of British internet infrastructure and even handles key service contracts in government departments. However, in the last year a mysterious French-Israeli billionaire Patrick Drahi has become the largest shareholder of the company raising his stake to 18%. This move has prompted the British government to make use of the new National Security and Investment Act to investigate Drahi's Altice company on the basis of concerns around national security. But why would Patrick Drahi majority ownership of British Telecom be an issue of national security? Drahi enjoys a fascinating relationship with Israeli military and intelligence institutions. His Israeli news channel i24 has employed at least 35 former members of the Israeli military as staff. Patrick Drahi's channel i24News was accused by ex employees of practicing an Israeli government dictated cancel culture. Former journalists alleged that Israeli journalists, like Amir Oren, had been dis-invited from appearing on the channel specifically at the behest of the Israeli Prime Minister's office. Though it has not been stated publicly, it is likely that the national security concerns about Patrick Drahi's takeover of British Telecom are Israel related.

WATCH: How the Resistance in Palestine views Iran

First aired on 17 September 2022 Lt Col John Henry Patterson was a British army officer who was described by Benjamin Netanyahu as the “Godfather” of the Israel Occupation Forces. But who was Patterson? And what does his history tell us about the affinities between settler colonialism in Ireland and in Palestine? Born in 1867, Lt Col John Henry Patterson, of British settler stock in Ireland, enlisted in the British military at seventeen years of age. At the age of 31 was posted to Uganda, where he is said to have calmed the “superstitious natives” by killing two man-eating lions. He re-enlisted in the Army to fight in the second Boer war. In pursuit of newly discovered gold deposits, the British fought Dutch or “Boer” settlers for territory, using scorched earth policies and setting up concentration camps for Dutch settler women and children. In 1913 Patterson, back in Ireland, joined the Ulster Volunteer Force, an illegal militia set up by Protestant settlers in the north of Ireland to resist decolonization by force of arms. Viciously anti-Irish, they formed from a milieu that subjected Belfast “to a reign of terror” – “Night after night, the streets are paraded by Orange mobs looking for victims”. In the 1914-18 war - back in the British Army - Patterson, a convinced Christian Zionist, founded and commanded the ‘Zion Mule Corps, an all-Jewish unit, which was involved in the fighting at Gallipoli. The unit was then disbanded, but later in 1917, in collaboration with the extremist “revisionist” Zionist Vladimir Jabotinsky, a so-called “Jewish Legion” was formed. It fought the Muslim army of the Ottomans in Jerusalem. This paved the way for the British Mandate and the horrors of the later Zionist military occupation in 1948. One of the soldiers under Patterson's command was David Green, who later became the first Prime Minister of the Zionist entity under the name David Ben Gurion. Patterson died in 1947, but in 2014 his remains were reinterred in a grave in Netanya beside the remains of other members of the Jewish legion. The Minister of Defense and the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, gave an oration. Patterson was described by Netanyahu as the ‘Godfather of the Israeli Army’. Patterson personally knew Netanyahu's father Ben-Zion, and was appointed godfather for Netanyahu’'s brother Jonathan who had been named after Patterson. Ulster Loyalism and Zionism are ideological twins and John Henry Patterson was a symptom of the close relationship between differing settler colonial projects, united in their racist contempt for the natives and support for ethnic cleansing.

First aired on 29 January 2023 As the Palestinian resistance factions increasingly come together and take the fight to the Zionist entity, what kind of support are they getting from outside? Even its worst enemies recognize that since its establishment in 1979, the Islamic Republic of Iran has become “a leading patron” of the Palestinian cause. Those are the words of the Zionist front group United Against Nuclear Iran. They are quite correct. How has Iran supported the legitimate resistance of the Palestinians? Earlier this year tens of thousands of Iranians took part in the annual Quds Day rallies in the capital, Tehran, in a major show of support for Palestine. Similar marches and events happened in more than 900 cities and villages nationwide, according to officials. Hossein Salami, the commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), who was the keynote speaker of the event in Tehran, told the gathered crowd that Iran’s first Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini established Quds Day shortly after the 1979 revolution to let the world know that Palestine was not alone. He said the current Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei subsequently established the Quds Force, the overseas arm of the IRGC, to “expand the Islamic revolution in other Islamic countries with the aim of pressuring the Zionist regime and in the near future, the regime’s elimination from the world’s political geography”. Even the Jerusalem Post recognizes the strategy being adopted by Iran of unifying the resistance. A strategy which is visibly now in operation. In the unity Intifada of May 2021 it was revealed on the Lebanese news service Al Manar that a joint operation room was established in Beirut in response to Zionist attacks on Gaza. It involved officers from Hezbollah, Hamas and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps The Commander of IRGC’s Al-Quds Force, General Esmail Qaani, visited Lebanon twice to attend the meetings. The Palestinian factions were provided with data about the movements of the Israeli occupation military, which frustrated the enemy’s plot to ambush the Palestinian fighters near the Gaza border. According to the editor-in-chief of the Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar, Ibrahim Al-Amin: "Had 'Israel' expanded its aggression, the entire axis of resistance would have confronted it." Among the other support from Iran is funding, weapons and training. In 2020 al Jazeera broadcast revelations from Hamas about the weapons being supplied by Iran. The program "What is Hidden is Greater" showed members of Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, collecting Iranian Fajr missiles and Kornet Anti-Tank shells. The Islamic Republic of Iran stands fully behind the Palestinian factions and is central to the wider axis of resistance.

What you need to know about the successful campaign by the Youth Front for Palestine against the Friends of Roots

How Friends of Roots UK, which is another Zionist normalization project, is targeting young people in Britain.

First aired on 10 September 2022 Ukraine and Palestine in British schools In a blow to free speech. High Court judge Dame Beverley Lang recently allowed the Department of Education to continue its clamp down on Palestine solidarity in British schools after denying permission for a judicial review brought by human rights group CAGE. The legal challenge was in relation to a discriminatory letter sent to schools by the then Education Minister Gavin Williamson, which gave instructions to schools on how to present the occupation of Palestine and recommended schools work with three specific organizations to deliver a ‘balanced’ presentation of the issue. As this program pointed out some months ago, none of the three organizations provide balanced or truthful accounts of the occupation of Palestine. In fact, every one of them has a covert Zionist agenda. Solutions Not Sides – as a project of OneVoice a group set up by prominent Zionists. Our research shows that multiple staff members have previously worked for the Israeli regime including for the Occupation forces. Some worked in Zionist intelligence and others worked for Israel at the same time as working for OneVoice. Forum for Discussion of Israel and Palestine. This is a group pushing Zionist narratives set up by an organization called the Council of Christians and Jews. This is a long-standing pro-Israel grouping which has overlapping personnel with FODIP, though they claim to be independent. Community Security Trust is a group that claims to combat anti-Semitism in the UK but which purposely blurs together anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism in pursuit of Israel’s foreign policy objectives. It’s charitable objective includes combating extremism. However, its founder the convicted fraudster Gerald Ronson has a record of funding extremist Zionist groups –such as Chabad - through his family foundation. It seems that a bias in favor of the racist ideology of Zionism is regarded as acceptable in schools, whereas standing up for Palestinian Rights is not. CAGE found multiple cases where school kids have been punished, disciplined or prohibited even from the mildest display of solidarity with Palestine. These included: The school that banned the colors of the Palestinian flag, or any clothing resembling ‘Middle Eastern clothes’. The student who was referred to Prevent after emailing videos of Islamic lectures to his school to express his unhappiness at a one-sided presentation on Israel-Palestine. The students were suspended for wearing a Palestine badge to school or for discussing Palestine. In response to the Judge’s decision on the letter from the Education Secretary, CAGE released a summary of responses to a survey on Ukraine. This showed that just like the support for Zionism most schools have been supporting the NATO proxy war in Ukraine, with schools bedecked by Ukraine flags and fundraisers - openly supported by schools. Of course the idea of raising money for Palestine, is regarded as controversial and students are disciplined for raising the issue.

First aired on 21 January 2023 Friends of Roots UK is another Zionist normalization project targeting young people in Britain. The organization was originally founded in 2014 inside occupied Palestine with the aim of bringing Palestinians and settlers who dispossess them together in friendship. The founding of the organization took place at the initiative of apparent human rights lawyer Jean-Marc Liling. In 2005, Jean-Marc had been an advisor to the Israeli Prime Minister's office. Before that, he worked for the Israeli Ministry of Justice for 5 years. Mehra Beit and her husband were enamored with Jean Marc's ideas. He was made a board member of their Geneva-based organization B8 (pronounced Bayt) of Hope, and they backed the Friends of Roots campaign inside Palestine. B8 of Hope partners with the Alliance for Middle East Peace, which encompasses the One Voice organization and its normalization project Solutions Not Sides in British schools. Another organization that Birth of Hope partners with is Jerusalem NY, which also seeks to bring together Palestinians and settlers. The Roots organization inside Palestine was headed by former Israeli military officer Raz Kones as coordinator of the youth division. Now, the organization is in Britain and targeting young people for the same normalization push. The board of the UK branch contains several figures of interest. Stephen Longden, who is also the founding chair of the normalization project, The Forum for the Discussion of Israel and Palestine, previously worked for Medical Aid for Palestinians. He is now the chair of trustees at Friends of Roots. Leon Pain is a board member of North London Friends of Israel and is described as the "Zionism advisor" to the Muslim Friends of Israel Facebook group. Ruth Jacobs has worked with Solutions Not Sides in the past and is the founder and chair of West Midlands Friends of Israel. She is also a founder member of Nisa Nashim West Midlands, which I previously exposed as a Zionist normalization operation. Rabbi Hanan Schlesinger describes himself as a "passionate Zionist settler." He was a founder of the branch in occupied Palestine and is now the Director of International Relations for the UK branch. This is who is seeking to misguide children and young people toward normalization with settlers.

First aired on 3 September 2022 Mishcon de Reya is a law and lobbying firm based in London and Singapore. It is a vast operation including over 600 lawyers. It generates hundreds of millions of pounds of profit yearly but what lurks behind this tidy veneer? Mishcon de Reya came about through a merger by Baron Victor Mishcon and Barlett De Reya. Victor Mishcon had secretly worked as an intermediary between Israel and Jordan providing his home as the site of meetings between Israeli President Shimon Peres and King Hussein of Jordan. Victor Mishcon later went on to reign as Vice-President of the Board of Deputies. A lobby group in Britain which has admitted having a "close working relationship with the Israeli embassy and strengthened links with the Israeli military and Ministry of Strategic Affairs." The law firm and lobby group has a special section which focuses on Israel related activities. It claims to "provide a seamless service to numerous Israeli institutions." What are some of those institutions? Documents have revealed that in 2003, Mishcon de Reya acted directly on behalf of the Israeli embassy and then president Ariel Sharon. It has sponsored events for the UK-Israel Tech Hub which is headed by Haim Shani, a former director general in Israel's Ministry of Finance. One particular Mishcon de Reya event acted as a launch pad for Cyberbit, a cybersecurity subsidiary of Elbit Systems. The law firm proudly boasts of advising The University of Haifa and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem on BDS campaigns against them. It is also known that Mishcon de Reya approached other companies to help them take on BDS protestors on a pro-bono basis. It was also essential in the campaign against Corbyn advising both the Jewish Labor Movement and key anti-Corbyn MP Margret Hodge. Palestine Declassified can also exclusively reveal that several of Mishcon de Reya's employees have simultaneously worked for Israel lobby groups.For example, the Deputy Chair of Mishcon de Reya, Anthony Julius is also chair of the opaquely funded Jewish Chronicle. In addition to that he is a founder of Engage, which was "set up to oppose the campaign to boycott Israeli artists, musicians, writers, and teachers." While working at Mischon de Reya Jonathan Cummings, was also director of the Israel office at Britain's largest Israel lobby group BICOM. He later went on to be an advisor to the Office of the President of Israel. Amy Boekstein, went from Mishcon de Reya, where she worked in PR directly to BICOM. Jonathan Betesh worked for the Israeli intelligence corps then worked for the Israeli embassy in UK, before working for for Mishcon de Reya. Rachel Rose worked for Mishcon at the same time as being a fellow of the Zionist New Israel Fund. She later went on to work for Center for Countering Digital Hate which shares its office with the Israel lobbyist Trevor Chinn-led Labour Together project. Olivia Gordon interned at Mishcon de Reya and then went on to work for the Conservative Friends of Israel. So, here we have a law and lobbying firm deeply bonded to Israel at every level of the company. Watch out, Mishcon de Reya could have you on their hit-list.
