Labours Zionist friend have landed the party in trouble again. Less than 6 months after Lord Levy (Pro-Israeli fundraiser for Labour) was questioned during the cash for honours affair. Labour's new chief fundraiser Jon Mendelsohn (Former Labour friends of Israel chair) has landed the party in trouble again.
By accepting donations for Labour from Jewish businessman and former Labour Friends of Israel activist David Abrahams via 3rd parties, Jon Mendelshon has contributed towards tarnishing the image of the party in public. Jon Mendelsohn is listed as the 28th most influential person in ‘British Jewry’ by the Jewish Chronicle earlier this year. The paper wrote: ‘At ease in the corridors of power, Mendelsohn has the contacts and know-how to advance Israel's case in his LFI role.’ Paying for a pro-Israeli view in Labour politics may soon backfire on LFI activists and bring the Labour party into jeopardy.
