Tommy Robinson Asks: '55 Muslim States - But No Room for Israel?'

Tommy Robinson has been a deeply divisive figure in British politics since the rise of the English Defense League in the early 2010s. His detractors have labeled him a “white supremacist” and an “Islamophobe,” while his supporters have hailed him as the only person speaking truth to power over mass migration and radical Islam.

This division has, naturally, stretched into the British Jewish community. Yet as the crisis of security for the British Jewish community has worsened, in particular since October 7, when antisemitism exploded across the UK, more and more British Jews have warmed to the formerly untouchable Tommy Robinson.

The Jerusalem Post sat down with Robinson following the Unite the Kingdom rally, which drew unprecedented crowds. The rally, which saw attendees march the streets of London holding the Union Jack, occurred during a period in which deep controversy had been sparked over the lack of prominence for the British and English flags, while Palestinian flags are present in many areas.
