Conservative Friends of Israel: Britain's Most Dangerous Lobby Group?

We've been investigating one of the most powerful lobby groups in Westminster. Watch Matt Kennard and Phil Miller discuss the extraordinary influence Conservative Friends of Israel has over British foreign policy on Palestine, and the risk it could drag the UK into another Middle East war. We expose one of its funders and reveal a formerly classified cable about its veteran director, Lord Stuart Polak. Plus, their latest trip to Israel amid the slaughter in Gaza.

The Israel lobby should designated as a foreign influencer group.

Just be careful lads cause anyone who tells the truth gets cancelled very quickly

If you repeat a lie enough times it becomes……..Israel.

Shocking and disgusting, but not surprising given the unscrupulousness and greed of our MP's

Thx guys for your brave and insightful journalism. Palestine will never get their freedom until US Congress and our 2 spineless political parties first get theirs.

Thank you for bringing this dodgy group . Conservative friends of Israel to light .
I think there activities need to be thoroughly investigated by an independent body which has no links to the Government

Horrific. Our MP s must restore aide immediately. Cameron banging on a out a 2 state whilst banning aide.... there is something Mentally wrong with these people. Criminals will answer to justice. This will follow them to their graves.

Education is not about remembering that Hitler murdered 6 million Jews (and 11 million others).
Education is understanding how it was possible that millions of ordinary people were convinced that it was necessary to do so. Education is also learning to recognize the signs of history when they repeat themselves. ”

There is no greater quote in today’s world than MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL.

Well done Matt and Phil. You have journalistic integrity. As for the curiosity of the main stream media, please don't hold your breath.

[faridacasmally]

Thank you both for opening our eyes and with better understanding of what is really going on, we do enjoy your work and efforts

One thing that is clear is the idea that democracy degenerates into tyranny. When politics are infiltrated by the role of lobbyists, special interest, the influence of money and Campaign financing, the superficiality of public debate and the dominance of images and the manipulation of public opinion and the resulting distrust and disenchantment of public in politics in general.

[carolnoble]

I have been aware of this type of group for a very long time and never agreed with it. Politicians were always happy to admit they were friends of Israel. This should have not been allowed.

Brilliant analysis from Matt & Phil 👏
