Four influential pro-Israel activist groups have united to form a single advocacy unit, called the Israel Coalition.

The Israel Advocacy Movement, David Collier, Sussex Friends of Israel and North West Friends of Israel will join together to form the new coalition.

All four are widely known for their social media activity fighting antisemitism.

Joseph Cohen, founder of Israel Advocacy Movement, commented: “The internet shapes public opinion of Israel, but up until now, online Israel advocacy groups were under-resourced and uncoordinated.

“We formed the Israel Coalition to resource, unify and amplify the most successful online pro-Israel initiatives.”

Veteran campaigner against antisemitism David Collier added: “For too long our grassroots - which have led the fight against anti-Zionist lies, extremism and rising antisemitism have been fighting with both its arms tied behind its collective back.

“The Israel Coalition will give us all the freedom to fight back properly and give the British Jewish community the Zionist representation it truly deserves”.
