 Tommy Robinson went to Israel on a government-funded propaganda tour only to get humiliated repeatedly and condemned by members of the foreign government he sought to serve.Rabbi Yishai Fleisher, a former advisor to Itamar Ben-Gvir who serves as the international spokesperson for the Jewish Community of Hebron, told Robinson the British “have a special place in hell for turning on the Jewish people.”
“Robinson—who fashions himself a British nationalist—just sits there and takes it, assuring him Brits love Israel,” I noted on X.
Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, who Wikipedia notes is the “first openly gay right-wing member of the Knesset and the first openly gay man from Likud to serve in the Knesset,” further humiliated Robinson by shushing him for jumping the gun and interrupting him during his little scripted spiel.
The trip quickly turned into an apology tour with Robinson visiting the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Museum in Jerusalem to atone for his sins:
He also disavowed British nationalists who think ethnic Brits are the real British people and told the Israeli media that unlike ethno-nationalists, he doesn’t “believe that Jews are flooding Europe [with immigrants].”
When Robinson tried his shtick claiming that the Anti-Defamation League and the Board of Deputies of British Jews are somehow in bed with pro-Palestine groups and don’t represent Jews, the i24 reporter countered that they’re diehard pro-Israel groups—at which point he just started stammering.
A Jewish Majority poll released in February found that 79% of American Jews “are members of or generally support the policies of the Anti-Defamation League.”
