Donate to support Israel through UKLFI
Our Mission
We use the law to counter attempts to undermine, attack and delegitimise Israel, Israeli organisations, Israelis, and supporters of Israel.
UKLFI Charitable Trust is a separate charity set up by UK Lawyers for Israel to advance legal education on Israel and antisemitism and to provide legal support to victims of antisemitism, particularly antisemitism which manifests itself with regard to Israel. Further details here.
UKLFI Charitable Trust has its own website with information about its activities and educational resources here.

Testimonials: what people say about UKLFI
-
You and many others worked very hard for this important success against the PFA. It seems they will go to no end to win little battles in order to maintain the status quo while remaining the persecuted, suffering victims. I think it is important to win these battles. It’s just such a shame that you, Caroline and others have to put in so much time and hard work for what would otherwise be trivial matters. As small as the issues are, they are important and wining the argument is important. Thank you all for your hard work.” – Robert Sack
