Meet the Zionist 'charity' that has brought over 5,000 Israeli war criminals to Britain

By David Miller

Zionist war criminals are being secretly hosted in Britain, with thousands arriving over the past several years, according to documents in the possession of Press TV.

They are hosted by Zionist families in the UK, taken on tours to popular tourist sites, and welcomed into private homes — as reported on the now-deleted website of the "charity" involved that goes by the name 'British Friends of Israel War Disabled' (BFIWD):

We did all the usual things, had an orientation tour of London, went to the theatre, visited Waddesdon Manor, went shopping, had a tour of the Houses of Parliament, visited the RAF museum and went bowling. 

Our host families fed and made our guests a part of their families and we all danced the night away at the final thank you and farewell party. No one who met our guests was not moved by their experiences and the atmosphere at the final party was electric. Each and every one of them touched our hearts.

Fawning over genocidaires suggests that the risks to the UK extend beyond the visitors themselves to those who host them. There is something particularly disturbing about Zionists in the UK providing what is, in effect, material support for ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip.

Here is a further description from their website:

We show them tourist sites, take them on river trips, go on tours around the Houses of Parliament, arrange theatre visits, take them bowling, to football matches and even to a golf practice range. We welcome them into our homes, into our families and into our lives and do whatever we can to show them how much they are valued, appreciated and loved by us in England.

New lifelong friendships develop during these visits. The English hosts now have extended family members to visit in Israel and our Israeli guests have a special relationship with us here in England.

During their visit, our Israeli guests do not need to spend any money – everything is provided for them. We pay airfares, hotel accommodation, travel and transport in England and entrance fees and of course food. BFIWD pays for their entire trip.

Threat to British citizens?

The threat of mentally unbalanced, disabled, or mentally ill genocidal Zionists being hosted in the UK is significant. It’s not just the war criminals themselves but also “their carers and doctors.”

Given the deeply disturbing nature of Israeli settler society, it would not be surprising to learn that some — or even all — of these companions are themselves either war criminals or, at the very least, active supporters of the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

A 2022 report by the BFIWD stated that the “primary intention of the Trustees continues to be bringing groups of disabled veteran soldiers to the UK to stay with caring families each year.”

It noted that the so-called “charity” has “welcomed around 5,000 men and women for therapeutic and mental healing,” adding that since its founding in 1974, it has “distributed over £3 million… directly to benefit… disabled veterans and survivors of acts of terror.”

Closing down the BFIWD website

The massive wave of hostility to Zionism, which has happened as a result of the ongoing genocide in Gaza, has begun to have its effect on the Zionist organization masquerading as a 'charity'.  

It has shuttered its website. The latest Internet archive records are from January 2025, and it claims to have paused its “group hospitality programme”

Here is a photo of one of the groups of Israeli occupation killers that they have now removed from the internet. It is hoped that someone can recognise them and action can be taken against them.

Back in 2014, volunteers from BFIWD traveled to the Zionist colony to visit Tel Hashomer Hospital, where they offered support to the perpetrators of Operation Protective Edge — a military assault in which more than 2,100 Palestinians were killed, compared to just 66 Zionist soldiers and seven settlers.

Here is how they described the visit:

“It is hoped that the visit conveyed to the soldiers, their families and friends, as well as to the doctors and nurses, the support of the Jewish community in the UK and the total admiration and appreciation for those who have, once again, sacrificed so much for the State of Israel and the People of Israel.”

Payments still support genocide

Nevertheless, BFIWD's most recent (2023) annual report discloses that it made grants of £100,000 in the year. It also sends money directly to ZDVO, the Occupied Palestine-based organisation providing support to wounded and disabled Israeli occupation forces members.

Our research reveals that among the Zionkst foundations that have sent cash to the BFIWD is the David and Ruth Lewis Family Charitable Trust, run by the Lewis family, who make vast profits from River Island and other business activities and channel millions into supporting the genocide.

Another funder is The Gerald and Gail Ronson Family Foundation, a charity set up by the convicted fraudster, Revisionist Zionist and founder of the Mossad-linked Community Security Trust, Gerald Ronson.

Meet the people inviting genocidaires to the UK

BFIWD is based in Chancellors House, Brampton Lane, Hendon in North West London. It has claimed to have 6 committees that are located in Birmingham, Manchester, Hendon, Stanmore and Edgware, Kenton, Woodside Park.

The so-called "charity" has three trustees, lists several members of its committee and three patrons.

• Simon Robert Albert has been a Trustee since December 2022. He is a lawyer and the director of a family property company. As he made his way in the legal profession, Albert worked at Berwin Leighton Paisner Inc., where Martin Paisner was a partner. Paisner is a trustee of more than one hundred Zionist charities and companies.

• David Peter Hantman has been a Trustee since June 2017.  He is an optometrist and a genocidal Zionist. It appears that in 2021, he and his wife Jayne became settler colonists in Palestine.

• Frank Weinberg is the third trustee. He is a fanatical Zionist who, for a time, was a director of the Zionist youth radicalisation group Bnei Akiva from 2005-08. In 2012, he was reportedly in charge of “organising the Israeli Athletes for the Paralympic Games,” which took place between 29th August and 11th September.

Frank and his team’s remit is to liaise between the Israeli Paralympic Team and the organizers, and “to act as a comprehensive resource throughout the competition.”

The official delegation includes approximately 25 competitors along with 25 coaches, doctors, and physiotherapists, all of whom will be staying in the Olympic Village.

Frank said, “The support for the athletes has been awesome. Just today, I received a call from Bnei Akiva asking if they could send people to greet the athletes at the airport and give them a warm welcome. It’s that kind of gesture that makes my job so rewarding.”

• Annette Weinberg, Frank’s wife, is also heavily involved in supporting genocidaire visits to the UK. Frank and Annette sold their house in Kenton, Harrow, in March 2024 for £810,000

• Jayne Hantman (wife of Trustee David Hantman) works as a volunteer with The Jewish Association for Mental Illness (Jami), which is wholly owned by Jewish Care and operates under its charitable umbrella. 
  
  Jewish Care is a Zionist group that is a member of the Jewish Leadership Council.

• Leon Leboff is a member of BFIWD and is also Vice-President and past Chairman of HabAid, which sends money to the Chabad settlement in Kfar Chabad (sometimes Kfar Habad). 
  
  As is well known, Chabad  Lubavitch is a worldwide Messianic Jewish supremacist organisation that believes that Jews are superior to Gentiles and that it is permissible to kill Palestinian children since they may grow up to challenge Zionism.
  
  The so-called "charity" also raises funds for  Zaka Rescue Dogs - UK.  Zaka is the group led by a paedophile that was behind the invention of the baby beheading and mass rape thesis after the launch of Al Aqsa Flood.

The charity also names several Patrons.

• Lord Sacks - Lord Jonathan Sacks is the former Chief Rabbi and a fanatical Zionist. Sacks famously attended the racist hate march on Jerusalem Day with his successor as Chief Rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis.

• Leopold (Leo) Noé is a Jewish British property investor. Noe’s F&C REIT company is the biggest holder of shopping malls in Israel. Noe received awards from the UK-Israel Business group for enhancing bilateral relations between both countries.
  
  He is the former owner of Jewish News. Noe is a prominent member of the Jewish Leadership Council (JLC) to which he donates and was appointed as treasurer.
  
  Donations to the JLC saw an eightfold increase in donations during his tenure as treasurer.4 The JLC is one of the foremost Israeli lobbies in the UK.

• Irving Carter, who died in 2020, was a major supporter of Zionist causes via the Locker foundation, which gave significant sums to the IOF and to groups like Friends of Yad Sarah, which operate throughout the West Bank illegal settlements.

• The Lord Boateng, formerly the radical Labour MP Paul Boateng, was elected as one of the first three Black MPs in 1987. He ended his career helping to prolong the genocide.
  
  Boateng is also reportedly a member of Labour Friends of Israel as of 2024.
