A huge concert is planned at Wembley arena in London on 17th September. Under the title Together for Palestine a long list of acts are performing, including Brian Eno, Damon Albarn, Hot Chip, James Blake, Jamie XX, Paloma Faith, and Nai Barghouti.

The Together for Palestine event website says: “Every penny donated will go to supporting Palestinian-led humanitarian organisations saving lives under fire. All funds will go through Choose Love, a UK-registered charity who support local partners in conflict zones.”

So who gets the funds? It doesn’t say. If we look on the Choose Love website, we find that the charity has partners in both what it calls “Israel” and what it calls the “Occupied Palestinian territories.”

Its “Israel” partner is the New Israel Fund, a Zionist funding mechanism which claims to be interested in human rights but will not support even mild actions like BDS.

Amongst its Palestinian partners are the International Rescue Committee, an organisation headed by former British Foreign Secretary David Miliband and set up originally by the CIA. The classic account of the organisation describes it as a “covert network”

Given the lack of clarity on which "Palestinian-led humanitarian organisations saving lives under fire” would be beneficiaries, I wrote to the press contact advertised: [email protected].  This resulted in a reply from “Tom Mehrtens (they/them) Director of Music SATELLITE414”  Tom wrote that:

100% of the funds will be split between the below three organisations for these outlined activities…

• PCRF - children’s medical relief and they are especially known for secondary/tertiary care (amputations, reconstruction etc)
• Taawon - Noor orphan care program. 5-point intervention to the age of 18 for 20k children with family placement as default mode. This is probably the largest non-state, national-level war orphan program in the world.
• PMRS - does primary medical relief and are the most on the ground amongst the population. Many of the ambulance services are run by them.

I also asked Tom at Satellite 414 who was the client that they were working for. He replied that it was “Together for Palestine.” This is odd, since there is no such organisation - no charity, no company.  On the Together for Palestine website it says explicitly that the event "is independently organised by T4P Events". I wrote back to clarify this but received no reply. So the question of who pays the bills to the PR firm is unclear. It might be Choose Love or it might be T4P Events (which is a company). Let’s look at each in turn.

What is Choose Love?

Choose Love is based in the UK and US, and among its many funders in 2023 were Combined Jewish Philanthropies, Goldman Sachs Gives, Jewish Communal Fund, and Open Society Foundations, all of which are Zionist. Also listed is the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, widely known as a CIA pass through.

Choose Love says that it is administered by an innocent sounding group called Prism the Gift Fund.  But further investigation reveals an altogether different picture.

Prism the Gift Fund was set up by Anne Josse. Josse is described by the Jewish Chronicle as “an Orthodox Jew who … co-runs private equity firm Regent Capital (with Prism co-founder Gideon Lyons)” She ran the Zionist funding agency the New Israel Fund UK in the 1990s. When younger, she travelled to occupied Palestine and spent time at a religious seminary, as well as having been chair of the Manchester University Jewish Society, the Manchester branch of the Zionist Union of Jewish Students..

The charity operates as a donor advised fund, a mechanism to obscure public knowledge of where funding for recipients originates. The charity, unsurprisingly, is deeply embedded in the Zionist movement. It runs the activities of the Jerusalem Foundation - engaged in ethnic cleansing in East Jerusalem [Al-Quds] as well as at least two other Zionist family foundations (the Bluston Charitable Settlement, of which Anne Josse is a trustee, and the Pelz Trust), which also give to the IOF and other genocidal charities.

In the last year or so, Choose Love has stated that it has severed its relations with Prism the Gift Fund and is now independent. I understand that this happened in 2024 and that a dispute over the genocide prompted the split.

Have Brian Eno and the other artists involved been fully apprised of all these details?

What is T4P Events?

In the small print of its website, Together for Palestine discloses that the event “is independently organised by T4P Events in aid of Choose Love’s vital fundraising.”

What is T4P Events? 

It’s a company registered at Companies House on 29 May this year. It has two directors.  Anna Catherine Nolan and James Sadri. Let’s have a look at their background.

James Sadri says he is a ‘migrant’ and has three links on his Instagram page to campaigns he has worked in.  As well as T4P Events, there is Led By Donkeys and the Syria Campaign.

The Syria Campaign and propaganda for regime change in Syria

The Syria Campaign is a Public Relations outfit which claims: “We are a human rights advocacy group supporting Syria’s heroes in the struggle for freedom and democracy.”

In reality, it was created to give PR cover to the British intelligence operation known as the White Helmets, which involved itself in war crimes in pursuit of regime change in Syria. Perhaps the most famous Syria Campaign output was Killing the Truth, a dossier full of lies intended to suggest that scepticism about fake chemical weapons attacks in Syria were “Russian disinformation".

The White Helmets

Anna Nolan was co-founder and Director at The Syria Campaign, where she says she “helped elevate Syria’s heroic civil society.” In addition, Nolan claims to have been on the advisory council of the White Helmets since 2019 and is still on it.

In 2017 she personally went to collect the Good Housekeeping Woman of the Year award given to “Syrian heroes” described as  “The women of The White Helmets”. 

Obviously, the publicity did not picture or mention the most senior woman in the White Helmets: Emma Winberg (pictured below). She ran the operation on the ground and is a serving MI6 officer. This was revealed after her husband James Le Mesurier was found dead outside their flat in Istanbul while she reportedly “slept”. Le Mesurier himself was a former British military intelligence officer.  Their roles were a key indication that the White Helmets was an MI6 led and funded operation. According to official disclosures, in total, since 2014, the Foreign Office (on behalf of MI6) has given the White Helmets a total of £60,330,856, including the latest payment of £2.3 million in 2024.

The Syria Campaign also received support from the US intelligence community, funnelled through the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the National Endowment for Democracy and other sources, including directly from the White Helmets and from the Syria Truth and Accountability Centre, both of which have been directly funded by the UK Foreign Office via its MI6 slush fund, the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund. They also received support from Choose Love

Nolan appears to have a history with regime change propaganda which goes back before her involvement with the Syria Campaign.  In fact, she spun the Syria Campaign out of a PR firm called Purpose, for which she worked, in 2014.

At the time ,connections between Purpose and the Syria Campaign were disparaged by James Sadri himself as a “crank conspiracy”. But now Nolan publicly admits that she worked on the Syria campaign while still at Purpose between January and June 2014.

War crimes in Syria?

The White Helmets are plausibly guilty of war crimes in Syria, including participation in a managed massacre of civilians for the purposes of faking chemical weapons attack in Ghouta (2013), Khan Sheikhoun (2017),  Douma (2018), and other incidents.  All those involved in directing their activities - including those in MI6 as well as accessories to their activities, like James Sadri and Anna Nolan of The Syria Campaign, could and should potentially face war crimes charges in the future.

Choose Love and the White Helmets

In their 2024 “Impact” report, Choose Love continue to lie about the White Helmets' involvement in allegedly clearing “toxic” chemicals in Syria, playing into false propaganda suggesting the Assad government was involved in chemical weapons attacks.

Choose Love also admits that it gave the White Helmets over half a million dollars to put on their fake show of digging for “secret” prisoners in Sednayah prison after the fall of the Assad government and the installation of an al-Qaeda/ISIS government there. Even the White Helmets had to admit that their operation failed to find any “secret” areas or prisoners. Half a million dollars wasted. Both France 24 and even CNN reported on how they were fooled by this story. It is notable that Choose Love refers to the disaster that has befallen Syria with the regime change led by former al-Qaeda and ISIS commander, Julani, as a “liberation”.
