Christian Action for Israel was a Christian Zionist group established in Geneva in 1973.[1][2] The organization's self-described goals were to, "pray for Israel.. (and) promote tourism, trade, investment and afforestation... (and oppose) anti-Semitism." Christian Action supported, "a peaceful secure Jerusalem united under Jewish control."[1]
The organization was active in a number of countries, including Britain,[3] Canada,[4] and South Africa.[5][6]
In 1975 a South African branch of Christian Action for Israel was founded[7] in Cape Town by the late Basil Jacobs, a steel merchant and devout Christian, Claude Duvernoy, a French Presbyterian Minister living in Jerusalem.[8][9] 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][10] Hedding then spent 11 years as head of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem.[10]
