Tommy Robinson supports Israelis playing an English team

As reported by the Canary, politicians and media figures have rallied to defend Israeli football hooligans at the expense of the British public. Highlighting just how batshit this is, noted far-right agitator Tommy Robinson has joined this axis of political hooligans on the side of the Israeli hooligans:

Tommy Robinson the Zionist

Robinson has a long history of supporting Zionists (a.k.a. those who endorse Israel’s settler-colonial / ethno-nationalist ideology, both in Israel and abroad.) As activist and rapper Lowkey laid out:

Tommy Robinson has previously stated he would “fight for Israel in a war.”

This thread examines Robinson and EDL’s very clear material relationship with the Zionist Movement and considers the possibility that the racist attacks and pogroms in Britain are part of that fight.

In his thread, Lowkey details Robinson’s many connections to Israeli and British Zionists, including the following:

Tommy Robinson previously described a key figure on the Board of Deputies, Robert Festenstein, as his legal advisor.

The Board of Deputies states in its 2020 Trustees Report that it has a “close working relationship with the Israeli embassy and strengthened links to the IDF.” pic.twitter.com/Q3g5Nkj6Cs

Opinion on Robinson among Zionists is certainly divided. Some of them seemingly welcoming his support while others suggest it’s a bad idea to associate with a guy whom many see as a criminal “cokehead“. Regardless of what the Zionist pundits think, however, Robinson is currently in Israel at the invitation of Israeli minister Amichai Chikli:

We will always stand with freedom and democracy with people of Israel & the Jewish population of Britain in the face of jihad & tyranny . 🇬🇧 🇮🇱

Tommy vs England

In response to Robinson’s Maccabi Tel Aviv tweet, 5 Pillars editor Roshan M Salih accused Robinson of organising a “rally”:

Tommy Robinson is now planning a rally in Birmingham to support Maccabi Tel Aviv on the day of the match. He and his goons will definitely be met by the people of Birmingham.

Serious violence is now an almost certainty in Birmingham on November 6 and all because Keir Starmer…

While Robinson didn’t use the phrase “rally” in his tweet, it’s hard to see how it won’t end up as one if his fans heed the call. At the same time, people have highlighted that Robinson’s pivot to supporting hostile, military-age foreigners might have a limited shelf life with his broader audience:

Comedian Tadhg Hickey highlighted that Israel and Robinson are both embarrassing themselves by associating with one another:

Still absolutely pissing myself that Israel’s last ditch attempt to rehabilitate its image is Tommy fucking Robinson. pic.twitter.com/OQlRIWIRtH

To be fair, not every Israeli or Zionist supports Robinson, but of those who do, their opposition is becoming a little muddled:

It’s getting quite confusing isn’t it with some British Zionists objecting to the racist football hooligan Tommy Robinson visiting Israel but at the same time demanding that racist Israeli football hooligans be allowed to visit Britain. pic.twitter.com/kMC5tx0MMu

The most alarming thing is that Robinson isn’t just standing with the genocidal Israeli government; he’s also standing alongside the majority of the UK’s political leaders:

This is where we are.

Keir Starmer, Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch and Ed Davey all on the same side as far-right thug Tommy Robinson in defending an Israeli Football Team that chants songs about raping Arab women and killing Palestinian children.

Several people made comments like this in reference to the fact that Israel has been caught paying influencers $7k per post to promote the genocidal regime :

Labeling anyone who defends Palestinian rights as Hamas is a cowardly attempt to silence the truth. I think Tommy Robinson is just a $7,000 Israeli mercenary doing his job. https://t.co/oBGsWD7XfO pic.twitter.com/vGMxMvxXxh

Grotesques

As we’ve reported, it’s grim to see our politicians and pundits supporting Israeli football hooligans at the expense of the British public. The fact that Tommy Robinson is now making the exact same argument as Keir Starmer highlights just how bad things have gotten in the UK.

Just imagine if all our political leaders and commentators were standing shoulder to shoulder with Russian football hooligans in defiance of the police and the public. You probably can’t imagine it, because it obviously wouldn’t happen. And sooner or later, we need to get to the bottom of why our political class is prioritising the feelings of Zionists over the safety of British citizens.

“Just imagine if all our political leaders and commentators were standing shoulder to shoulder with Russian football hooligans in defiance of the police and the public.”

An interesting example which demonstrates just how effective the propaganda of The Official Narrative (TON) is.

The actual reality is that our leaders have been standing shoulder to shoulder with football hooligans made up of far right and Neo-Nazi factions for over a decade already. Not from Russia, though, but from Ukraine.

Here’s a taster from May 2024 which saw actual far right football hooligans kicking off events which saw a Trade Union building torched and over forty peaceful protestors murdered – some beaten to death as soon as they hit the ground after jumping from upper stories to escape being burnt to death:*

* Presumably, Russians also have a right to defend themselves from being shelled and shot by nazi Bandera thugs because they speak the “wrong” language, follow the “wrong” religion, have the “wrong” culture, and being the “wrong” and inferior ethnicity?
