For example, this year AJC had meetings with the team of commissioner Hadja Lahbib (on 26/03/2025) and commissioner Dubravka Šuica (on 15/02/2025) 1. Also, AJC publishes a list of "Transatlantic Friends of Israel", among them several active and former MEPs such as Lukas Mandl and Frédérique Ries 2. Through these "friendships" they push to intensify the relationship between Israel and the EU. In doing so the EU further facilitates the ethnic cleansing and oppression of the Palestinial people 3
Their reach is widespread, as seen with their campaign to "end the discrimination against Israel at the UN" 4
, signed by 318 MP. In this campaign AJC states that there's a bias against Israel referring to a UN report collecting data on Israel's systematic use of sexual, reproductive and other forms of gender-based violence.5
More specifically, acting director Benedetta Buttiglione lobbies for close cooperation on on the domain of defense.6 After 19 months of pounding Gaza, Buttiglione still dares to repeatedly advocate for the right of self-defense of Israel.7
These propaganda trips include visits of settlements and discussions with complicit high-ranking politicians such as the Deputy Minister of Defense, all with the intention to force a pro-Israel narrative in EU.8
ELNET organizes luxery trips to Israel inviting European politicians: close to 300 parliamentarians1 and leaders visited Israel in the first seven months after Israel’s attacks on Gaza began. the goal is always that these delegations do the work of pushing Zionism back home. ELNET lobbyists have boasted in meetings how these trips have “literally turned politicians around as pro-Israeli”.2
ELNET is also known for inviting European defence officials, military strategists and security experts to Israel to "get inspired" and spread the military message of Israel back home. One of the main goals of ELNET is a military partnership between the EU and Israel in which they support each other economically, in research and on the field. They work to intensify this bond in which EU helps create the weapons and strategies that are used to kill and oppress the Palestinian people and that Israeli weapon fare, tested on the people of Gaza, is sold to Europe to use here. .3
ELNET UK has funded UK MPs and staffers. Because of their lack of transparancy, it's imossible to verify if this happens in the EU too.4 According to then ELNET-president Navon, parliamentary delegations directly impact the level of support that Israel gets from Western countries. In May (2024), he told supporters online: “A few months ago the European Parliament passed a resolution with a very large majority that conditioned any ceasefire on the immediate and unconditional release of all Israeli hostages and on the defeat of Hamas. Now this resolution would never have been passed without the many years of work done by ELNET."5
EJA/EIPA sets up a network between EU parliamentarians and staffers and their counterparts in Israel, they lobby towards political, economic and cultural ties between the EU and Israel.1 Since oktober 7th they have attempted to influence key decision makers into choosing the side of the genocidal machine, framing Israel as the victim. They have tree lobbyists with an active pass to the EU and their organisation exist of some very influential Zionists pushing the genocidal agenda in Brussels.2
The organisation functions as a propaganda tool to transmit lies and fear about the Palestinian movement and solidarity movements among the EU political network and the Jewish community in Europe. It propagates the image of the Palestinian activist as a terrorist and of solidarity movements as a treat towards the Jewish community, heavily lobbying for aggressive repression of the 'global antifada'.
Though they profile themselves as a Jewish organisation fighting anti-semitism, the Coördination comity of Jewish Organisations of Belgium (CCJOB) has distanced itself from EJA and its founder Manachem Margolin saying this organisation is not a representation of the Belgium Jewish community.3 They are known for using the fight against anti semitism as an alibi to spread hatred on other communities and lobby for repression of refugees and Palestinians. Scaring public figures who recognition the genocide happening on the Palestinian people by calling them anti-semitic.4
