CHRISTINA Jones was imbued with a love for Jewish people and Israel from a young age.
In fact, one of her first memories is of her maternal grandfather telling her — aged four — to stand up for the Jews and “the nation of Israel”.
Therefore, it was no surprise the career path she has taken has involved the Jewish state.
Raised an Evangelical Baptist, Christina works for CAMERA-UK, which is the UK division of the American-based Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis.
