Gideon Grinstein

Gideon 'Gidi' Grinstein is the founder and current president of the Reut Institute, an Israeli think tank known for arguing that 'delegitimization' is a key political threat to the country and should be vigourously countered.The Delegitimization Challenge: Creating a Political Firewall, Reut Institute, accessed May 31 2012
According to his biography, between 1999 and 2001 he was Secretary and Coordinator of the Israeli negotiation team for the Permanent Status Negotiations with the PLO and then worked as Deputy Director General for the Economic Cooperation Foundation, before founding the Reut Institute in 2004.Gideon Grinstein biography, Reut Institute, accessed May 31 2012.

==Stance on Palestinian statehood bid==
On May 31 2011 Grinstein wrote in Haaretz that Obama should support the bid for statehood at the United Nations. He stated:
::"...Obama is missing the opportunity under his nose; a declaration of a Palestinian state in September includes the possibility of a diplomatic breakthrough as well as significant advantages for Israel. The establishment of such a state will help anchor the principle of two states for two peoples, shape the permanent situation with Israel controlling the security assets and the new state's surroundings, and diminish the refugee problem by marginalizing UNRWA and limiting refugee status. 
::"Despite Obama's speeches, the diplomatic process will remain at a dead end as the moment of decision in September approaches. Then the United States will have another opportunity to do the right thing: to ensure that the establishment of a Palestinian state conforms to Israel's needs".Gideon Grinstein, Obama's Mistaken Approach to Peace, Haaretz, accessed 29 May 2012. 
According to pro-Palestinian writer Ali Abunimah, Grinstein’s position was motivated by the hope of limiting the creation of a Palestinian state to a "Bantustan under overall Israeli control that will ‘solve’ Israel’s legitimacy and diplomatic problems while marginalizing Palestinian rights, especially refugee rights".Why Does Anti-Palestinian Reut Institute support UN Recognition of Palestinian "State"?, Electronic Intifada, accessed 29 May 2012.

The event covered strategies and policy recommendations 'across the five principal components of Israel’s national security – defense and foreign policy; economics; education and society; governance; and Jewish Peoplehood policy', with the aims of achieving 'a qualitative leap in all the dimensions of its national policy'. This included the possible use of military force against Iran, as well as discussions on energy security, partiotism, governance, Islam and education, to name a few.

Gil Mihaely

Gil Mihaely co-founded with Elizabeth Levy the French magazine Causeur, reportedly to disseminate the views of the 'neo-reactionnaires' (New Reactionaries).Hugh Schofield, France shaken up by Zemmour and 'new reactionaries', BBC News, 14 December 2014 
==Views==
===New Reactionaries===
The BBC's Hugh Schofield writes that Mihaely rejects being labelled as part of a new school of thought but quotes him as saying:
::In the late 1970s we had what became known as the 'nouveaux philosophes' (new philosophers). These were people like Bernard Henri-Levy, who broke away from the Sartre-inspired establishment because they could see the reality of totalitarianism in China and Russia. They saw a new reality, and realised they had to change their thinking. The same is happening now. Today there are thinkers who can see today's new reality: the Arab world, our immigration neighbourhoods, Islam. And they realise they have to change their ideas.
Mihaely has also reportedly stated 'the big division today is over the nation state' and said that the magazine's position is that 'the nation is still the only framework in which politics has any meaning.'
Schofield has observed that the New Reactionaries 'stand accused, by expressing such strong views on Islam, identity and the nation, of promoting the cause of the far right.'

Fraser was an early adviser to the Quilliam Foundation and stuck with it from 2008-2010, despite criticism and a significant number of advisers ceasing involvement. Fraser writes of his involvement:
:Some have accused the new organisation of being a front for an anti-Islamic neo-conservative agenda. I have been attacked for being one of its official advisers — as if that makes me a “useful idiot” to some extreme right-wing agenda. Of course, a number of conservative voices have been among its most active supporters, and some of its members have been harshly critical of multiculturalism. But what this organisation stands for is too important to hitch itself to any one political philosophy.

Giles Merritt

Giles Merrit is a Brussels lobbyist is director of Forum Europe and secretary-general of Friends of Europe, he also runs a think tank called the New Defence Agenda (renamed Security and Defence Agenda from 1 February 2006).
According to a Corporate Europe Observatory report on the 2004 European Business summit:
 
:Merrit is a Brussels lobbying veteran whose CV includes running the Philip Morris Institute for Public Policy Research in the 1990s, being director of the thinktank Forum Europe and Secretary general of Friends of Europe, as well as establishing the "Fairer World Forum" (in response to the globalisation debate). NDA was set up by Forum Europe (which Merrit was the director of), with whom they still share a building (Bibliotheque Solvay, in the parc right next to the European Parliament). At the EBS, NATO's Jamie Shea introduced NDA as "the leading forum in Brussels bringing together NATO, EU and other partners". Merrit in his introduction expressed his worries about whether the UK would reduce defence expenses, as the UK and France are the only EU countries that "have their defence act together".
Merritt's activities are based in the Bibliothéque Solvay which is run by La Maison de l'Europe, on the advisory board of which Merritt sits. The Bibliothéque Solvay is situated in a park very close to the European Parliament and is used by Merritt for many of his lobbying meetings.
