North West Friends of Israel are a more substantial organisation than SFI, but equally rabid, with an equally casual relationship with anything approaching truth, and with equal contempt for established civil liberties in this country.
NWFOI warmly welcome the English Defence League to their demonstrations on the grounds that “ the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
See committee member Natan Levinson on the subject……
NWFOI gain their impetus from counter demonstrating outside the Manchester store, Kedem. However, the aims and objectives extend well beyond the fate of Kedem. As they cheerfully admit, the aim is get the Public Order Act “strengthened” to take the sting out of demonstrations against the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian Territories, and to have currently peaceful and legal demonstrations, declared illegal. To this end they encourage, and campaign for, the repeal of the Human Rights Act. In this they have the support of the mainstream Jewish Organisations, particularly the Community Security Trust. Further, to this end they look to provoke and have arrested, pro Palestinian demonstrators
Again there is a fair sprinkling of criminal minds in the organisation, notably the Jewish Chronicle’s favoured spokesperson, Anthony Dennison. Dennison is co chair of NWFOI.
He is an ex solicitor that the High Court ruled should be struck off. He was closely involved in the ” no win, no fee” scam, and, essentialy, was held to have defrauded his own partners in the then law firm, Rowe Cohen. Dennison appealed his striking off, and The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding that Dennison represented ” a substantial risk to the public”. He certainly does. Not least those pro Palestinian demonstrators he and his comrades manage to get framed.
His fractured character seems to permeate into the most minor details of Dennison’s life .He is the ” manager” of Maccabbi, an under sixteen football team in Manchester. Last year his team were involved in a game they were losing 9-2 with ten minutes to go. At this point there was something of an incident. Two players got involved in a bit of a fracas, common in football games. However, there seems to have been an exchange of racist epithets. Dennison seized the opportunity to haul his team off the pitch, representing the spat between two players, one from each side, as his team being subjected to wholesale anti semitic abuse. The Manchester FA were less than impressed by Dennison’s antics. The two players were suspended and Dennison was fined and suspended for foul and abusive behaviour.
Natan Levinson at 0:31 secs says;
“Anybody that’s not British for example, they (EDL) will go against them.”
Er Nath’ so why are you inviting the EDL along, whilst you’re waving your non-British flags? Where’s your patriotism, loyalty Nath, with Israel? You’re certainly not British in my book, whilst you’re carrying that terrorist State’s flag around.
Anthony Dennison pffft! He looks like he’s a mate of Greville Janner, if you know what I mean, nasty very unsavoury.
Here’s a protest against the Maccabbi Tel Aviv football club when they came to England.
“Protest on 16th September 2015 outside the Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Chelsea FC football match at Stamford Bridge London demanding apartheid be kicked out of football. Following on the successful sporting boycott against South African apartheid, Israeli apartheid should similarly be boycotted and Israeli teams excluded from international sporting arenas like UEFA and FIFA.”

Had an encounter with what appeared to be NWFOI a couple of years back, at a book-launch event in Manchester with Max Blumenthal. They are real intimidation-peddlers.
