Pro-Israel lobby group bankrolling Tories( British Conservative Party), film claims

Pro-Israeli organisations in Britain look set to see their influence increase if the Conservatives win the next election, a film scrutinising the activities of a powerful but little-known lobby warns today.

At least half of the shadow cabinet are members of the Conservative Friends of Israel (CFI), according to a Dispatches programme being screened on Channel 4. The programme-makers describe the CFI as "beyond doubt the most well- connected and probably the best funded of all Westminster lobbying groups".

  1. No information on the Labour government's links to these people. Let's hope the programme is more revealing.

    vza, you read the Guardian! I'm shocked.
