Dear
Member
of the Board
I
am writing to you as a director of the Charity Commission. There is
a major scandal brewing concerning the Charity Commission and I
assume that you know little or nothing about it, or you would have
acted.
The
Board of the Charity Commission has the duty of protecting its
reputation and integrity.
All
UK charities in the UK are obliged to be for the public good. The
Jewish National Fund Charitable Trust is racist, complicit in ethnic
cleansing and is allied with those evicting the Sumarin family from
their home in illegally occupied East Jerusalem. It is not for the
public good. The Charity Commission has been failing in its
statutory duty of oversight.
Briefly
– other materials are availablei.
1.
The Jewish National Fund CT is not independent of the Jewish
National Fund in Israel (KKL)
The
agreements between the JNFCT and the KKLii
were known to the Charity Commission, but they were hidden from the
public. (The Charity Commission even refused to say whether they had
a copy.) The Jewish National Fund CT does not even own its own name.
It uses it on lease from the KKL. See below or

In
the agreement between the JNFCT and the JNF/KKL, they agree to work
together to find suitable projects for the JNFCT to fund. All the
monies raised in the UK by the JNFCT for Israel pass through the
accounts of the KKL.In the agreement between the JNFCT and the

2.
The JNF in Israel (KKL) is openly racist and has stated as much in
an Israeli court.
“The
JNF is not and cannot be loyal to the entire Israeli public. The
JNF’s loyalty is reserved for the Jewish people alone – for whom it
was established and for whom it acts. […] The JNF will argue that
it bears no duty to allocate its land to non-Jews. To the extent the
matter concerns JNF land, it will lead not only to interference with
and disruption of the order of the JNF’s activities and tasks, but
will negate entirely its unique function as the owner of the eternal
property of the Jewish People.”iii
The Racism of the JNF/KKL should preclude any links with a British
Charity.
3.
The JNF UK created the British Park on the ruins of the village of
Ajjur (and others). When the owners of the land raised the issue
with the Charity Commission, their solicitor said “It may be that
Ms Al Ajarma and her family have legal rights that have been breached
by the actions of the Jewish National Fund” but they had no right
to question the status of the JNFCT.
4.
The JNFCT openly stated in 2014 that it spent £114,000 on the Gaza
war effort. When the Charity Commission was asked about this it has
refused to comment. It also refused to say how many other charities
have supported foreign wars.
5.
The Jewish National Fund (KKL) is working through its wholy owned
subsidiary, Himanuta, with ELAD to evict the Sumarin family from
their home in East Jerusalem. ELAD is the settler movement funded by
Roman Abramovich to the tune of $100million which featured in the BBC
film.iv
This
issue will not go away. The issue is drifting into the court of
public opinion and into parliament.v
I
ask you to draw this issue to the other members of the board, and
remove the JNFCT from the list of charities.
Yours
Stop the JNF Campaign
