Christian Action for Israel

Christian Action for Israel is a Christian Zionist group based in Geneva[1] with the stated aim to counter anti-semitism and anti-Israel misinformation, expose what is sees as the prevailing Anti-Israel bias in mainstream media, expose and counter Holocaust denial, and to support just Jewish causes.[2]

In 1975 a South African branch of Christian Action for Israel was founded[3] in Cape Town by the late Basil Jacobs, a steel merchant and devout Christian, Claude Duvernoy, a French Presbyterian Minister living in Jerusalem.[4] In the years 1991–2000 the South African chapter was headed by Malcolm Hedding, a South African-born anti-apartheid activist and evangelical minister.[5]
