Tommy Robinson In Israel
Why is Tommy Robinson in Israel?
Tommy Robinson, long vilified by the UK establishment for speaking out against Islamic extremism, has been officially invited to Israel by Amichai Chikli — Israel’s Minister for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism.
Minister Chikli described Tommy as a “courageous leader on the front line against radical Islam” — and personally invited him to Israel as an honoured guest of the state.
As Tommy told our reporter Avi Yemini moments after landing in Tel Aviv:
“I’m here to show solidarity with the Jewish people and with Israel’s strong leadership. The problems Israel faces with jihad are the same ones Britain and Europe will soon face — because we’ve empowered extremism.”
For years, Tommy has been treated as a pariah in the UK — banned, arrested, and smeared for defending free speech and standing with Jewish communities. But here in Israel, he’s been welcomed as a friend and ally.
As Avi put it at the airport, “He’s gone from enemy of the state in Britain to friend of the state in Israel.”

So he actually went to kosher kebab places when he saw them in the UK. But now he is in the country of kosher shawarma. I hope he enjoys.
