Oxford college referred to charity regulator over 1m investment in Israeli settlements By Imran Mulla A college at England's elite Oxford University has been referred to Britain's charity regulator after it emerged that it has over £1m ($1.26m) worth of investments in illegal Israeli settlements. The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP), a UK-based group, launched a formal complaint on Tuesday with the Charity Commission against Oxford's All Souls College, which has an endowment of nearly £500m and was founded in 1438 by King Henry VI.
