Why are US ‘pro-Israel’ groups boosting a far-right, anti-Muslim UK extremist?

WASHINGTON — Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon, aka “Tommy Robinson,” is one of the most prominent anti-Muslim activists in the world. A political adviser to a right-wing British party, he is the founder and former chair of a far-right Islamophobic group.

Recently sentenced to 13 months in prison for illegally filming a court proceeding involving Muslims accused of sexual assault and publishing it on Facebook Live, Robinson is more than just an agent provocateur. He’s one of the main forces bringing extremist forms of hate and bigotry from the fringes to the mainstream.

Why, then, are some of his biggest supporters — financial and otherwise — a loose coalition of reactionary, self-proclaimed pro-Israel backers?

According to a recent investigation by The Guardian, Robinson is being bankrolled by a nexus of international organizations. Many of those groups, it turns out, are part of the American right-wing infrastructure supporting the Israeli cause.

For one thing, religion needs to be removed from policy making, and people need to re-establish the secular state. Racists lose so much when they don’t have religion to fall back on to create divisions

The Israeli Minister of Diaspora endoresed the anti-semetic National Rally candidate in the recent French election.

Israeli Prime Minister Netenyahu has been aligning with the anti-semetic Trump in the US elections.

There has always been a significant amount of anti-semetism in the Zionist coalition. Hitler’s “final solution” was his solution to the “Jewish question”, which had been explicitly talked about in Europe since at least the mid 1700s, but was popularized in 1843 with the publication of Bruno Bauer’s book “The Jewish Question”.

Before Nazi Germany came up with it’s final solution, they considered a more modest proposal of resettling their Jewish population outside of Germany, including some support for Zionist movement. Their only major opposition to Zionism was a concern that it would destabilize the region. Otherwise, it would get Jews out of Germany, thus solving their Jewish Question. Ultimately, Nazi Germany settled on a much less well structured approach of “voluntary emigration” by making life intolerable for their Jewish population, before finally settling on their final solution.

Once Israel was established, her anti-semetic neighbors seized on the opportunity to resolve their Jewish question by finally forcing out their Jewish population (who now had somewhere to go).

Zionists literally tried to ally with Nazi Germany against Britain so they could conquer Israel.

Israeli once founded realised the millions they needed weren’t coming from the rest of the world and had to change tactic to provoking neighbouring countries to force their Jewish populations to flee to them instead.

Have you looked at the company the current Israeli PM keeps recently? His buddies are mostly far-right dictators and aspiring dictators.

And he’s far-right himself.
