UK Activist in Jerusalem Declares Solidarity With Israel, Warns of Jihadist Threats

British activist Tommy Robinson visited Israel around the second anniversary of the October 7 attacks, telling Arutz Sheva that he came at the invitation of a government minister and to stand publicly with Israelis. In interviews filmed in Jerusalem, he described touring sites in the south and viewing graphic evidence from the attack, which he said strengthened his resolve to challenge what he regards as widespread disinformation about Israel in Western media and politics. He also criticized European leaders and institutions that, in his view, have downplayed Islamist extremism in pursuit of political advantage.

Robinson said his movement has organized large demonstrations in the UK and argued that ordinary Britons broadly support Israel even if political leaders avoid saying so. He added that peace is unlikely so long as jihadist ideologies remain ascendant, framing Israel’s battle as a defense of Western cities as well. The visit drew pushback from critics in the British Jewish community and beyond, who oppose his presence and politics; supporters countered that his advocacy has been unwavering and that silencing controversial voices will not defeat antisemitism or terrorism.

As he prepared to address an evening event in Tel Aviv, Robinson urged Israelis not to view European policies as reflecting the true sentiments of the public, claiming that disillusioned voters increasingly reject leaders who appease radical factions. His comments encapsulate the wider information war surrounding Israel’s security, identity, and narrative on the world stage.
