CAMERA helps Christina put Israel in focus

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.

Like its American big brother, CAMERA-UK is dedicated to promoting fair, accurate and balanced coverage of Israel in the British media.

And never has it been needed more than during the current climate, where Israel is attacked from all sides — including the left and the right.

Her official title is communications assistant but, in reality, the 33-year-old’s remit involves much more.

For Scotland-born Christina monitors the Scottish media for antisemitism or anti-Zionism, and runs its UK campus division, as well as its Christian-Jewish relations’ department.
