We abroad are used to believing that Eretz Yisrael is now almost totally desolate, a desert that is not sowed....But in truth that is not the case.

JNF-UK: a bad examplar


Tnuat Or, the organization that is JNF-US's partner (that is, funding recipient) for Blueprint Negev, lists three partners in their Negev projects: JNF-UK, JNF-US and Nefesh b'Nefesh. (Note however, JNF-US is the only organization that lists Tnuat Or.)

KKL sued JNF-UK over the use of its name in 2005. From the KKL side, JNF-UK was sending most of its money to other Israeli charities. Recently, KKL-JNF established its own UK branch. According to KKL's website: "We wish to inform you that JNF Charitable Trust UK no longer represents the worldwide organisation Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael (KKL-JNF) headquartered in Jerusalem, Israel. The sole representative organisation sanctioned to collect funds on behalf of KKL-JNF in the UK is the KKL Charitable Trust."
