Tommy Robinson in Jerusalem: The story British media won’t tell

WATCH: “The Quad” with Fleur Hassan-Nahoum

What happens when Tommy Robinson comes to Israel and finds that the truth is nothing like what he was told?

Israeli innovation envoy Fleur Hassan-Nahoum and journalist Emily Schrader sit down with British far-right political activist Tommy Robinson for an unfiltered conversation about media bias, Islamic extremism, antisemitism and the future of Western civilization.

Robinson, visiting Israel for the first time since the Hamas-led massacre in southern Israel on Oct. 7, reflects on what he’s learned traveling throughout the Jewish state. He exposes the lies he believes are fueling antisemitism and Islamism in the United Kingdom, sharing why his early criticism of the Palestinian Authority, its “pay-for-slay” policies and jihadist ideology earned him enemies in mainstream media and political circles.

The conversation also delves into Robinson’s own controversial past as founder of the English Defence League; accusations of racism and Islamophobia; and his personal transformation after visiting Israel; witnessing Jewish resilience; and touring Yad Vashem in Jerusalem.

Topics covered include Britain’s unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state; the threat of mass immigration and Islamist extremism in Europe; the failure of political leadership; the media’s role in fueling antisemitic narratives; and why Robinson now sees Israel as a frontline defender of shared Western values.
