Tommy Robinson, long vilified by the UK establishment for speaking out against Islamic extremism, was officially invited to Israel by Amichai Chikli — Israel’s Minister for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism.
Minister Chikli described Tommy as a “courageous leader on the front line against radical Islam” — and personally invited him to Israel as an honoured guest of the state. As Tommy told our reporter Avi Yemini moments after landing in Tel Aviv: “I’m here to show solidarity with the Jewish people and with Israel’s strong leadership. The problems Israel faces with jihad are the same ones Britain and Europe will soon face — because we’ve empowered extremism.”
For years, Tommy has been treated as a pariah in the UK — banned, arrested, and smeared for defending free speech and standing with Jewish communities. But here in Israel, he was welcomed as a friend and ally. As Avi put it at the airport, “He’s gone from enemy of the state in Britain to friend of the state in Israel.” Why did Rebel News covering this? Rebel News is the only media outlet that is covering Tommy’s ‘state visit’ honestly. Friend and Rebel News reporter Avi Yemini was in Israel to cover this remarkable trip. Avi and his cameraman Benji were on the ground to show you the real story — without the BBC or Sky News spin.
Tommy Robinson has never gotten fair treatment from the media. We didn’t expect that this trip would be any different, which is why Rebel News was there to document everything. From Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, we bring you behind the scenes of this unprecedented visit: Tommy meeting Israelis, engaging with political leaders, and seeing first-hand how Israel deals with the same threats the West now faces.
