• Organised speakers, such as Alan Fischer, who spoke about the demonisation and deligitimisation programme against Israel; and Ronnie Gotkin who spoke about the relationship between Arab and Jew dating back to the founding of Islam.
• Organised screenings of videos such as The Case for Israel by Professor Alan Dershowitz and taken part in organising the screening of the Gilad Shalit video at the Sephardi shul hall.
• Organised a ‘buycott’ to support Ahava beauty products at Wellness Warehouse, Cavendish Square, in response to a call for a boycott against Israel and Israeli products.
