Late last week, Tommy Robinson addressed hundreds of supporters at an event hosted by the Tel Aviv International Salon. “I want to give you some hope,” Robinson said. “I’ve been warning the British public about the dangers of Jihad for a decade. There’s been a mass awakening since October 7.”
Supporters shared their admiration for Robinson, highlighting his persistence and clarity. “I just love how he doesn’t stop going, no matter the consequences,” one woman said. Another man added, “He has this moral clarity that you don’t see everywhere. It gives me hope that Western civilization still has a chance.”
Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs Amichai Chikli, who invited Robinson to Israel, called the event a success. “I expected 500 people. We crossed more than 1,000,” he said. The gathering followed Robinson’s invitation to Israel after a tragic synagogue shooting in Manchester, where he has been a prominent critic of Islamic fundamentalism.
