Introduction by Gilad Atzmon \u2013 gilad.co.uk December 26, 2011<\/h2>\n

\u00a0The following is Asa Winstanley\u2019s \u00a0outstanding and comprehensive expose of the Ultra Zionist Community Security Trust (CST). \u00a0Winstanley explores the different and often secret smear tactics used by the rabid militant Zionist organisation. As it seems the CST disseminates false information-it produces \u2018evidence\u2019 of Holocaust denial and anti Semitism, it vilifies and harasses some Jewish \u00a0anti Zionists such as Naomi Wimdorne Idrissi, Tony Greenstein, IJAN,\u00a0 Torah Jews \u00a0and others most notably Sheik Raed Salah.<\/h5>\n
Yet, astonishingly enough. Wimborne Idriss<\/span><\/a>i<\/span>, IJAN<\/span>,<\/a> Tony Greenstein<\/span><\/a> and some other Jewish anti Zionists use the exact defamatory tactics against some devoted solidarity activists and thinkers. Like the CST, Greenstein, Idrissi and IJAN also disseminate lies, they falsify documents, they engage in constant harassment of solidarity campaigners<\/span><\/a> whom they don\u2019t agree with.<\/h5>\n

<\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n
As horrific as it may sound, once again we detect a clear and devastating continuum between the \u00a0militant Zionists and the so- called Jewish Anti Zionists AKA Anti Zionist Zionists. \u00a0\u00a0<\/h5>\n
Is it really too much to expect Jewish \u2018anti\u2019 Zionists to adopt some basic humanist manners? Is it really too much to expect them to be substantially different from Israel\u2019s Sayanim?<\/h5>\n

EI exclusive: UK charity with Mossad links secretly denounced anti-Zionist Jews to government<\/h2>\n

Asa Winstanley \u2013 The Electronic Intifada.net Dec 21, 2011<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>An influential UK charity denounced Jewish critics of Israel in secret reports to the government earlier this year, The Electronic Intifada has\u00a0learned.<\/h5>\n
The Community Security Trust<\/span><\/a> (CST) is known for its work recording anti-Semitic attacks and for security patrols at Jewish communal\u00a0events.<\/h5>\n
But evidence uncovered by The Electronic Intifada suggests the CST works behind the scenes with an assertively pro-Israel agenda not stated in its charitable remit. There are also serious questions over the CST\u2019s links to the government of Israel and, allegedly, to its intelligence\u00a0services.<\/h5>\n
The Electronic Intifada contacted the CST and inquired about these points, but representatives of the organization declined to\u00a0comment.<\/h5>\n
In a report sent to government department the Home Office, the CST denounced several \u201canti-Zionist British Jewish individuals and groups\u201d as \u201cextreme groups,\u201d claiming they were \u201cunrepresentative of the vast majority of British\u00a0Jews.\u201d<\/h5>\n
Dating from August, the report was primarily an attempt to help the government in its court case to deport Palestinian political activist Raed Salah<\/span><\/a>. The report expressed concern that certain Jews had \u201cvoiced support for Salah,\u201d recommending that the \u201cextent of their credibility to speak on these issues should be\u00a0considered.\u201d<\/h5>\n
The CST denounced as \u201cextreme\u201d well-known Palestine solidarity activist Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi, the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network and the anti-Zionist Orthodox Jewish group Neturei Karta. The report highlights that Wimborne-Idrissi is secretary of Jews For Boycotting Israeli\u00a0Goods.<\/h5>\n
Use of the term \u201cextreme groups\u201d is significant. It\u2019s a phrase the CST usually reserves for violent far-right groups such as the British National Party, the National Front and Combat 18; or for Islamic political groups like Hizb\u00a0ut-Tahrir.<\/h5>\n
The CST sent a second document to the Home Office at the same time titled \u201cNeturei Karta & Raed Salah\u201d as part of a larger dossier. This four-page report suggests the group is guilty of everything from Holocaust denial to \u201cdefending\u201d a 2008 terrorist attack against Jews in\u00a0Mumbai.<\/h5>\n
Both texts formed part of the Home Office\u2019s defense against Salah\u2019s attempt to resist deportation. In September, a civil servant testified in court that the CST had been its \u201cprincipal\u00a0source.\u201d<\/h5>\n
The full text of both secret CST reports can be read in the blog post accompanying this article<\/span><\/a>.<\/h5>\n

\u201cPure\u00a0lies\u201d<\/h3>\n

The Electronic Intifada sent copies of the reports to the activists attacked in the documents and asked for\u00a0comments.<\/h5>\n
Rabbi Yacov Weisz of Neturei Karta UK replied that the report was \u201cpure lies\u201d and \u201cabsolute nonsense.\u201d He said it was no surprise to find the CST trying to marginalize his organization. Weisz said the CST was a provocative organization not wanted by many in his own Orthodox community in Stamford Hill, London, since it \u201cplays into political Zionism.\u201d He said there is a problem with racism in the UK, but it could be directed at Muslims just as much as\u00a0Jews.<\/h5>\n
Wimborne-Idrissi said the CST does not like the fact that Jewish critics of Israel are becoming more numerous and\u00a0vocal.<\/h5>\n
\u201cOur existence shows that organizations like the Board of Deputies<\/a> [of British Jews], the Zionist Federation and CST cannot legitimately claim to represent all Jews,\u201d she told The Electronic Intifada. \u201cWe give the lie to their insistence that defending Israel is central to Jewish identity and that to defend Palestinian interests against it is synonymous with\u00a0anti-Semitism.\u201d<\/h5>\n
In a statement, IJAN said the CST was \u201cknown to many as the Zionist police\u2026 We would ask who but racists would call opposing all forms of racism \u2018extreme\u2019? It is the CST that is \u2018unrepresentative\u2019 \u2014 most of the world does not support Israeli apartheid, including a substantial and rapidly-increasing number of Jewish\u00a0people.\u201d<\/h5>\n

Lauded by\u00a0government<\/h3>\n

As demonstrated in The Electronic Intifada\u2019s coverage of the Raed Salah case, the CST has strong links with government departments \u2014 especially the Home Office and Department for Communities and Local Government. In some areas CST volunteers jointly patrol with the\u00a0police.<\/h5>\n
It has also been lauded by politicians at the highest levels of government. Prime Minister David Cameron<\/span><\/a> and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg have both given speeches at black tie CST dinners this\u00a0year.<\/h5>\n
Founded as a charity in 1994, the CST had several notable predecessors. The Group Relations Educational Trust (GRET) was founded by Gerald Ronson in 1978. Now CST chairman, Ronson wrote in his memoir Leading from the Front that he hoped GRET would \u201coperate as a sort of umbrella organization\u201d for the 62 Group and other militant anti-fascist\u00a0groups.<\/h5>\n
The 62 Group was a street-fighting Jewish activist group formed to combat the rise of neo-Nazis in the 1960s. It reportedly specialized in infiltration and intelligence\u00a0gathering.<\/h5>\n
Ronson wanted to distance GRET from such militant direct action approaches. He wrote that although he was the chief fundraiser for the 62 Group and \u201cI was once a foot soldier out there fighting on the front lines,\u201d he increasingly came to think that \u201cbeing hooligans to fight hooligans wasn\u2019t the smartest\u00a0way.\u201d<\/h5>\n
The CST\u2019s immediate predecessor was the Community Security Organization \u2014 part of the Board of Deputies of British Jews. In 1994, it broke away from the Board and established itself as a new charity \u2014 the Community Security\u00a0Trust.<\/h5>\n

Trained by\u00a0Mossad?<\/h3>\n

Antony Lerman, founder and former director of the Institute for Jewish Policy Research (JPR), told The Electronic Intifada that CST volunteers had in the past received self-defense training from Mossad<\/span><\/a>, Israel\u2019s overseas spy\u00a0agency.<\/h5>\n
Mossad is perhaps most well known for its assassinations of Palestinian intellectuals, activists and fighters around the world. It is thought that the Mossad was behind the 1972 Beirut car bomb that murdered writer and Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine<\/span><\/a> activist Ghassan Kanafani<\/span><\/a>. In 1986, Mossad agents kidnapped Mordechai Vanunu, the Israeli nuclear technician turned whistleblower. More recently, it was thought to be behind the murder of Hamas commander Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai, in which the killers used forged passports as part of their\u00a0operation.<\/h5>\n
But Mossad also claims to protect Jews, says Lerman. \u201cOn one level you can understand why\u201d CST trained with the Mossad, he said. \u201cOne of the things the Mossad believes that it should be responsible for is Jewish security all around the\u00a0world.\u201d<\/h5>\n
The Electronic Intifada had a wide-ranging conversation about the CST with Lerman. JPR ran the first project to monitor anti-Semitism in a human rights fashion, he added. Back in the 1980s and early 1990s, Lerman had \u201cvery close relations\u201d with GRET and, later, the\u00a0CST.<\/h5>\n
In the early 1990s \u201cthe Israeli government was trying to exert control over the monitoring of anti-Semitism through diaspora communities around the world,\u201d he recalled. Lerman and the CST both resisted this, preferring to remain independent. They were \u201cquite angry with the way the Israelis were handling this kind of\u00a0thing.\u201d<\/h5>\n
The Israelis\u2019 list of anti-Semitic incidents \u201cwas appalling stuff,\u201d he added. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t say at that time they were so much into exaggerating the problem, but they just had no real feel for what anti-Semitism really was. They would take any kind of incident, anything that involved Jews often would sometimes go down as an anti-Semitic incident when it hadn\u2019t [really been one] and often they would miss anti-Semitic incidents as\u00a0well.\u201d<\/h5>\n
The Israel Government Monitoring Forum on Anti-Semitism at that time operated through representatives at embassies throughout the world, and \u201cthey were mostly Mossad representatives,\u201d said\u00a0Lerman.<\/h5>\n
\u201cDuring that time the CST \u2026 felt they needed to keep good relations with the Board, with the Israelis, with the Israel embassy \u2026 [but] they were broadly supportive of our position throughout the 1990s,\u201d he recalled. \u201cDuring that time my experience with them as a whole was rather\u00a0good.\u201d<\/h5>\n
This didn\u2019t last. \u201cMy relations with them began to deteriorate at the end of the \u201990s and from 2000 onwards,\u201d he said. \u201cI from the beginning was never in agreement with this idea of the \u2018new anti-Semitism.\u2019\u201d But the CST was \u201cvery much behind that kind of\u00a0line.\u201d<\/h5>\n
Lerman is a noted critic of this \u201cnew anti-Semitism\u201d line. Writing earlier this year, he described it as \u201cthe notion that Israel has become the Jew among the nations and that therefore extreme criticism and anti-Zionism are a new version of the anti-Semitism that existed prior to the establishment of the\u00a0state.\u201d<\/h5>\n
He added, \u201cThe entrenchment of the concept of the \u2018new anti-Semitism\u2019 [has] so extended the range of expressions of what can be regarded as anti-Semitic that the word anti-Semitism has come close to losing all meaning\u201d (\u201cThe farcical attack on the UCU for voting against use of the EUMC \u2018working definition\u2019 of anti-Semitism<\/span><\/a>,\u201d Antony Lerman\u2019s blog, 2 June\u00a02011).<\/h5>\n

Conflating anti-Zionism with\u00a0anti-Semitism<\/h3>\n

Lerman\u2019s is far from the only Jewish voice critical of the the CST. Tony Greenstein<\/span><\/a> is a Palestine solidarity and anti-racist activist who has blogged extensively on the CST. He has frank criticisms of their methods. \u201cThe CST has a long record of barring anti-Zionist Jews from meetings and harassing them,\u201d he wrote on his blog in January 2009 (\u201cCommunity Security Thugs Bar Jewish Opponents of Gaza War from Liberal Judaism Meeting<\/span><\/a>\u201d).<\/h5>\n
While leftist critics such as Greenstein allege the CST exaggerates or inflates its anti-Semitism figures, Lerman disagrees. \u201cThey\u2019re not making up the numbers, it\u2019s what they do with the information [that\u2019s more problematic],\u201d Lerman said. \u201cIt\u2019s the role that they play behind the scenes with government, it\u2019s the connections with the Israelis \u2014 whether it\u2019s lobbying on their behalf or not, they\u2019ve got very close\u00a0relations.\u201d<\/h5>\n
Lerman still gives the CST credit for the rigor it uses when deciding which incidents to record as anti-Semitic and which to reject. He said that it does not record incidents as anti-Semitic unless it is absolutely sure. But the \u201cnew anti-Semitism\u201d logic means they will be predisposed to see an anti-Israel statement as being anti-Semitic, he\u00a0added.<\/h5>\n
What its critics tend to agree on is that the CST conflates anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism. Its latest report describes anti-Zionism as \u201cin effect anti-Semitic\u201d (Antisemitic Discourse in Britain in 2010<\/em><\/span><\/a>, 8 December 2011\u00a0[PDF]).<\/h5>\n
Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi said the CST \u201ctry to undermine our credibility by noting that we are small in number. They cannot acknowledge that growing numbers of Jews are breaking with the unquestioning loyalty to Israel that has been the norm in past decades.\u201d Wimborne-Idrissi was barred from a 2009 \u201cliberal Judaism\u201d meeting by CST\u00a0guards.<\/h5>\n
Greenstein has accused the CST of thuggish behavior against Jewish critics of Israel, and has written that CST security volunteers guard pro-Israel demonstrations and events. \u201cIts stewards looked benignly on as the EDL [English Defense League] joined a demonstration outside the Israeli embassy in August 2010 to celebrate the murder of nine unarmed activists aboard the Mavi Marmara<\/span><\/a>,\u201d Greenstein wrote on his blog (\u201cCommunity Support Trust supplies false information to deport Sheikh Raed Salah<\/span><\/a>,\u201d 3 October\u00a02011).<\/h5>\n

Lack of\u00a0transparency<\/h3>\n

Although the CST claims to represent the Jewish community, it has asked for a special dispensation from the Charity Commission so that the names of its trustees are not publicly accessible (most charities in the UK have the names of their trustees listed on the Charity Commission\u2019s website). A spokesperson from the Charity Commission said such dispensations were only given in \u201cvery exceptional\u201d cases, such as for women\u2019s shelters where the trustees were thought to be \u201cin personal\u00a0danger.\u201d<\/h5>\n
However, in May 2003 the CST established a private company called Support Trustee limited. The Memorandum of Association filed at Companies House in Cardiff says Support Trustee limited acts as \u201ctrustee, custodian trustee, nominee or director of or for the charity Community Security\u00a0Trust.\u201d<\/h5>\n
According to documents filed at Companies House, the current directors of Support Trustee Limited are: Keith Black of the United Jewish Israel Appeal (UJIA), Lloyd Dorfman (chairman of the Travelex currency exchange group), banker and UJIA trustee Jeremy Isaacs, solicitor Brook Land, property investor Gary Landesberg, former chairman of the British division of Jewish educational group ORT Mark Mishon, CST chairman Gerald Ronson and accountant Jeremy Trent. Its secretary is CST Chief Executive Richard\u00a0Benson.<\/h5>\n

A multi-million pound\u00a0operation<\/h3>\n

CST chairman Gerald Ronson is a property magnate and the multi-millionaire owner of the Heron Group. Accounts on the Charity Commission website show that Ronson\u2019s charitable trust has donated almost\u00a0\u00a3500,000 ($780,000) to the CST since 2007. In the early 1990s, he was sentenced to a year in prison for his role in the \u201cGuinness affair.\u201d This was a share price inflation scam The Daily Telegraph<\/em> has described as the best-known British stock market scandal of the 1980s (\u201cFamous stock market scandals<\/span><\/a>,\u201d\u00a0undated).<\/h5>\n
In a 2009 interview with The Jewish Chronicle<\/em>, Ronson claimed to have friends at the highest levels of the Israeli government: \u201cHe received a phone call from the then Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, and met [current Prime Minister] Binyamin Netanyahu<\/span><\/a>, at the time a minister in Shamir\u2019s government, while on a day-release for a medical examination,\u201d the article states (\u201cInterview: Gerald Ronson<\/span><\/a>,\u201d 4 June\u00a02009).<\/h5>\n
Greenstein described the CST as \u201ca well-paid gravy train.\u201d Accounts available on the Charity Commission\u2019s website show the CST spent\u00a0\u00a35.3 million ($8.3 million) in the year ending December 2010 \u2014\u00a0\u00a32.1 million ($3.3 million) of this was on salaries and wages. It is thought to employ 64 staff, some full-time on security\u00a0issues.<\/h5>\n
Last year the government announced\u00a0\u00a32 million ($3.1 million) in new funding for security at Jewish faith schools. The CST\u2019s Chief Executive Richard Benson wrote in The Jewish Chronicle<\/em> that this came in response to five years of CST lobbying (\u201cLet\u2019s recognize our friends<\/span><\/a>,\u201d 22 December 2010). Antony Lerman said the schools are likely to give the CST an advisory role in how the money is\u00a0spent.<\/h5>\n

The CST and\u00a0\u201cinfiltration\u201d<\/h3>\n

In April and June, historian Geoffrey Alderman wrote two pieces for The Jewish Chronicle<\/em> taking the CST to task for being unaccountable to the community. \u201cWhat right does a completely private body that happens to call itself the CST have to involve itself in the safety and well-being of British\u00a0Jews?\u201d<\/h5>\n
Alderman is a Zionist and hostile to the Palestinian people and their supporters. In May of this year, he wrote a column saying nothing had caused him \u201cgreater pleasure in recent weeks than news of the death of the Italian so-called \u2018peace activist\u2019 <\/span>Vittorio Arrigoni<\/span><\/a>,\u201d the International Solidarity Movement<\/span><\/a> volunteer murdered in Gaza (\u201cThis was no \u2018peace activist<\/span><\/a>,\u2019\u201d The Jewish Chronicle<\/em>, 13 May\u00a02011).<\/h5>\n
In one of his columns, Alderman made reference to a more \u201cmurky dimension\u201d of the CST\u2019s work \u2014 possible \u201cinfiltration\u201d of \u201cextremist organizations\u201d (\u201cOur unrepresentative security<\/span><\/a>,\u201d The Jewish Chronicle<\/em>, 18 April\u00a02011).<\/h5>\n
What does Lerman think of that accusation? \u201cI certainly wouldn\u2019t rule it out,\u201d he replied. \u201cWhat I am absolutely certain about is that they\u2019ve got connections with people who have [infiltrated]. So whether that\u2019s through Searchlight or others, I\u2019ve no\u00a0idea\u201d<\/h5>\n
Searchlight<\/em> is an anti-fascist organization and magazine which has long been criticized by anti-fascist activists on the left for allegedly strong links to intelligence services and law enforcement entities. Its central figure, Gerry Gable, was involved in the 62 Group with\u00a0Ronson.<\/h5>\n
In 1980 The New Statesman<\/em> magazine published the \u201cGable Memo,\u201d a secret memorandum to Gable\u2019s then bosses at London Weekend Television. In the 1977 memo, Gable makes various accusations against a journalist, Phil Kelly, and infamously concluded: \u201cI have now given the names I have acquired to be checked out by British\/French security services \u2026 I may try somebody in the Israeli Foreign\u00a0Office.\u201d<\/h5>\n
Gable\u2019s accusations against Kelly included that he \u201cacted as a cheerleader on several Arab demonstrations in London\u201d and \u201che could have blown the cover of a man who had infiltrated the Palestinians and some left groups\u201d (\u201cThe Gable Memo<\/span><\/a>,\u201d Lobster, December\u00a01992).<\/h5>\n
When the Raed Salah case came to the attention of the British government, it called on the CST for information. As reported in detail by The Electronic Intifada, government departments asked the CST to send information on Salah that they could use to ban him<\/span><\/a> from entering the\u00a0UK.<\/h5>\n
As Salah prepared to go to the High Court hearing that would ultimately release him on bail, the CST posted two Jerusalem court indictments against Salah on its blog. Both related to old incidents (one from 2007). And both were dated 23 June \u2014 the exact date that Home Secretary Theresa May<\/span><\/a> said she banned Salah (\u201cSheikh Raed Salah: The Indictments<\/span><\/a>,\u201d 6 July\u00a02011).<\/h5>\n
\u201cI wouldn\u2019t be surprised if that\u2019s the Mossad,\u201d said Lerman. \u201cThey had close relations with the Mossad when I was working with them, and I\u2019m sure that they still\u00a0do.\u201d<\/h5>\n
A freedom of information request to the UK Border Agency<\/span><\/a> sent by The Electronic Intifada in July was finally answered this month. A request for a copy of the original banning order signed by May was denied on data protection\u00a0grounds.<\/h5>\n

Israeli government\u00a0links<\/h3>\n

The Israel Government Monitoring Forum on Anti-Semitism with which Lerman was at odds in the early 1990s now has a successor body called the Coordination Forum for Countering Anti-Semitism. The forum\u2019s website lists the CST as one of the \u201cmembers of the forum\u201d along with the Anti-Defamation League<\/span><\/a> and the Israeli prime minister\u2019s\u00a0office.<\/h5>\n
Lerman said that CST volunteers \u201cgo along at their own expense to guard Jewish sites and meetings and things of that kind. Well they get training, and I believe that the training has been done in the past by people from the Mossad, who come over and give them training in self-defense and that sort of\u00a0thing.\u201d<\/h5>\n
How likely is it that the CST lobbies politically for Israel behind the\u00a0scenes?<\/h5>\n
In September, the law on universal jurisdiction was changed, making it easier for Israeli ministers and generals charged with war crimes to visit the UK. The Jewish Chronicle<\/em> published an article quoting the Board of Deputies as acknowledging \u201cthe efforts of the various communal groups, in particular the <\/span>Jewish Leadership Council<\/span><\/a> (JLC), Board of Deputies, CST and Friends of Israel groups that have helped to ensure the safe passage of the\u00a0bill.\u201d<\/h5>\n
But \u201cCST\u201d was soon removed from the online version of the article, apparently after spokesman Mark Gardner intervened (see The Electronic Intifada\u2019s correspondent Ben White\u2019s screen capture<\/span><\/a>).<\/h5>\n
Though Lerman\u2019s relations with the CST have deteriorated, he thinks it unlikely that the CST would lobby for Israel in any way that would contravene its charitable status. \u201cIt would have undermined the role that they are trying to play on the issue of anti-Semitism,\u201d he said. \u201cHaving said that, the very fact that they support the \u2018new anti-Semitism\u2019 kind of arguments \u2026 [means] they are doing the work of the Israel government, because it \u2026 is a very strong Israel government\u00a0line.\u201d<\/h5>\n

CST declines to\u00a0comment<\/h3>\n

For its part, the CST has previously denied acting on behalf of Israel<\/span><\/a>. Of its role in having Salah banned from the UK, the CST stated: \u201cWe did not do this on behalf of Israel or in pursuit of Israel\u2019s policy objectives.\u201d It said its only concern is\u00a0anti-Semitism.<\/h5>\n
The Electronic Intifada wrote to the CST and asked the following questions: Why did the CST denounce Wimborne-Idrissi, Jews For Boycotting Israeli Goods and the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network as \u201cextreme\u201d? Why did the CST do so privately not publicly? In light of Alderman\u2019s \u201cinfiltration\u201d comments, can you give assurances you are not involved with the infiltration or subversion of pro-Palestinian activist groups? In light of the allegation that the CST has received Mossad training, what is the current nature of the CST\u2019s relations to the Israeli intelligence services? Did Israeli authorities help the CST with its case against Raed\u00a0Salah?<\/h5>\n
The Electronic Intifada enclosed the part of the Salah report that denounced anti-Zionist\u00a0Jews.<\/h5>\n
Despite having been given several days notice in advance of publication, the CST did not respond to multiple requests for comment. A phone call to the CST office three days after the original email request produced \u201cno\u00a0comment.\u201d<\/h5>\n
Nevertheless, the CST will need to respond to these serious charges eventually. In court in September, UK Border Agency case worker Jonathan Rosenorn-Lanng<\/span><\/a> referred to the CST as \u201cthe Jewish community\u201d \u2014 yet it is clear the group does not represent the entire community. The British government should ask itself how appropriate it is to maintain such strong links to an organization so politically\u00a0compromised.<\/h5>\n
