Tommy Robinson’s Israel trip has widened the far right rift

The British nationalist and racist bigot Tommy Robinson is a long-time supporter of Israel. In aid of this, he’s currently visiting Israeli allies as part of a much-publicised tour. While little Tommy himself is having the time of his life, the trip is going down very poorly with his far right compatriots:

Divide

Robinson has pushed antisemitic conspiracy theories despite his long history of supporting Israel, which constitutionally considers itself to be the ‘Jewish nation-state‘.

How, then, can we explain this alliance between Robinson and Israeli politicians?

Firstly, although Robinson is far right, so is the Israeli government:

British far-right activist Tommy Robinson met with Amir Ohana, Speaker of the Knesset, in Israel — where Ohana warned:

“Like every single Western nation, Israel is being flooded with migration.”

As Mint Press conclude in the above tweet:

Robinson, invited by Israel’s government, is known for his anti-immigration activism and criminal convictions. His presence in the Knesset has sparked criticism from Jewish organizations in the UK, who say Israel’s invitation normalizes dangerous ideologies.

Their alliance signals a growing nexus between ultra-right politics in Europe and state-backed agendas in Israel — with immigration, nationalism, and the Palestinian question all wrapped together.

While the far right is always defined by hostility towards ‘out groups’ within the nation state, that doesn’t mean they can’t support their fellow fascists abroad. Most famously, the far-right governments of Germany, Italy, and Japan formed an ‘axis’ of support during WWII.

In its efforts to shore up international backing, Israel has infamously worked with antisemites who are willing to support the ‘Zionist’ project (i.e. the colonial ideology of maintaining and expanding a Jewish ethno-state in the Middle East).

Robinson is one of many international fascists who Israeli politicians have seen fit to work with. The problem for Robinson is that his far right countrymen are increasingly confused about why he’s working with Israel.

Far right, all wrong

The woman in the tweet at the top is Jayda Fransen, who used to be part of Britain First. She’s now part of the Christian Nationalist Party, and she’s part of a growing backlash to Robinson on the fractured far right.

Tommy Robinson does have a special place in hell, but it’s not for being British or turning on the Jews.

Anyone enslaving themselves to these freakshow foreigners needs to be casted out of the movement forever.

Sickening. Fuck Tommy Robinson. https://t.co/ibLMaZxYLz

You’ll notice that many of the comments from these people are brazenly antisemitic. Sadly, this is the sort of commentary which gets a pass on Elon Musk’s Twitter.

Steve Laws is part of ‘Remigration Now’:

Look at this Zionist piece of shit sat there letting these savages talk shit about us.

Pathetic. https://t.co/6OawbpIDz3

‘Remigration’ is the policy of deporting everyone who isn’t part of the indigenous population. This would be difficult to achieve in England, of course, as the ‘indigenous population’ has been intermingling since at least the Roman Empire. At the same time, we’re sure Laws doesn’t care about the specifics; he just wants to banish non-whites.

Oh, and in case you’re thinking Laws is worse than Robinson, you should know that a group called ‘Generation Remigration’ spoke at Robinson’s ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally.

Saskia Teague is one of the female Gen Z influencers on Twitter who like to dabble in far-right rhetoric. Unlike some of her contemporaries, however, she’s progressed from Islamophobia to antisemitism:

Questioning Jewish corruption does not make you anti-Semitic.

Jews have comitted some of the worst atrocities in history yet remain the constant perpetual victim.

Even during a time of English replacement I seem to hear more about the impact on the ‘Jewish community’ than I do…

— Sas (@Saskiateague) October 12, 2025

As you can see, there’s clearly an audience for this sort of bigotry on Musk’s Twitter. This is what she had to say about Robinson:

Imagine if a Muslim had told Tommy Robinson that the British deserve a special place in hell.

Israel is not our friend. What have they actually got to do for people to realise?

The denial is embarrassing and we’re all paying the price, day in, day out.

James Goddard is an ‘orthodox nationalist’ who’s famous for looking like the son of Adolf Hitler and Rodney Trotter:

“British people have a special place in hell for turning on the Jewish People”

F Right Off Juden

Who bombed the King David Hotel?

Who sold weapons to Argentina during the Falklands?

Tommy Robinson is an anti British shit weasel, who sides with Jews over their own? https://t.co/novq63BhWt

Goddard referenced the fact that Israel has been caught paying influencers $7,000 per post to praise Israel:

In a bizarre moment from Tommy Robinson’s govt-funded hasbara tour of Israel, Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana shows Robinson a book w/ the word “Jew” written 6 million times.

You can tell it’s scripted. At the 47s mark, Tommy jumps the gun and motions to the book—only to get shushed. pic.twitter.com/O7von3Yilh

Gareth Icke, the son of notorious conspiracy theorist David Icke, said this:

Notice how the ‘mighty British patriots’ all become rabbit in headlight toddlers when they are summoned. https://t.co/we27oXfb3T

The turn against Israel is also happening within the American far right. Chris Menahan runs Information Liberation, and has appeared on Info Wars and Zero Hedge:

During Tommy Robinson’s Israeli govt-funded tour, Israeli spox Yishai Fleisher tells him the British “have a special place in hell for turning on the Jewish people.”

While Robinson’s contemporaries have been frothing with rage, the left have been mocking him:

I am really enjoying this Season of ‘Tommy Robinson gets Humiliated in Israel’. Hoping for a second season

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

It’s pretty obvious that Robinson has done some significant damage to his reputation with this Israel trip. Now, every last one of his posts will be a feeding ground for piranha-like fascists who want to elevate their own standing. And although we’d like to say it couldn’t be happening to a worse guy, these people are all as bad as each other.
