Tommy Robinson's Trip to Israel Reveals a Growing Bond Between the Far Right and the Israeli Government
International Business Times ^ | 16 October 2025 | Carson Beale

Tommy Robinson, the founder of the English Defense League and one of Britain's most polarising figures, has travelled to Israel while awaiting a court verdict in the UK. The far-right activist — known for his anti-Muslim campaigns — was invited by Israel's Minister for Diaspora Affairs, Amichai Chikli, according to The Guardian. The trip drew swift criticism from British Jewish groups, who called the invitation 'deeply inappropriate'.

Robinson's politics have always revolved around Islam. For over a decade, he's portrayed himself as a defender of Western civilisation under siege — from refugees, from multiculturalism, from what he calls 'Islamisation'. That message, long condemned in Britain as racist and inflammatory, finds a more sympathetic audience in parts of Israel's nationalist right. In a video shared on social media, Robinson praised Israel for what he called its 'strong, patriotic leadership', telling followers he felt 'respected, not silenced' there.

For many on Israel's far-right, the feeling is mutual. Under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli government has deepened ties with European nationalist movements, including those in Italy, Hungary, and the Netherlands. These relationships are rooted in a shared political language — one of security, borders, and cultural defense. 'Under Netanyahu's leadership, Israel strengthened its ties with Europe's populists and embraced national-interest Euroscepticism to sustain its settlement expansion in the Occupied Palestinian Territories while advancing its broader foreign and domestic agenda', notes Dr Sharon Pardo of Ben-Gurion University.

Anyone not far left is “far right” by their definition. Oppose immigration? Oppose the homosexual agenda? Want your children kept safe from sexual predators? Support individual freedom and accountability? These are all “far right” positions.

<< what he calls ‘Islamisation’. That message, long condemned in Britain as racist and inflammatory >>

With Britain’s Muzzie pop. getting near 10%, Islamisation is exactly what’s happening there and throughout most of Western Europe, T-Rob is just calling a shitskin a shitskin.

It’s not “far right” to recognize that Europe has a serious Muslim problem. Actually you’d have to be an idiot not to recognize this.

It is shocking to categorize anyone who is not a leftist as extreme right, when the reality is that the left is the one who has become radicalized.
