Tommy Robinson has previously stated he would "fight for Israel in a war."

This thread examines Robinson and EDL's very clear material relationship with the Zionist Movement and considers the possibility that the racist attacks and pogroms in Britain are part of that fight.
Tommy Robinson's co-founder of the EDL was an individual called Paul Ray.

Paul Ray worked for Israeli intelligence, infiltrating and spying on the pro-Palestinian International Solidarity Movement (ISM) of which Rachel Corrie was a member.

The information he gathered was submitted to multiple intelligence agencies. He went on to co-found the EDL with Tommy Robinson.Image
"We are exploiting them..."

The EDL English Defence League LTD was registered on the companies house by former Israeli soldier Roberta Moore. She was head of the EDL's Jewish Unit, which had around 100 members. When asked whether the EDL was exploiting the Zionist Movement, she retorted, "If anything, we are exploiting them."

In the early years, the EDL regularly partnered with the Zionist Federation to host demonstrations in support of the Israeli Embassy.

On 28th of February 2013, Roberta Moore changed the name of the EDL on companies house to the Jewish Defence League UK.Image

The other time the English Defence League was registered on companies house was by Tommy Robinson's assistant Helen Gower.

Until 13th of June 2014, it seems to have been registered as the THE ENGLISH & JEWISH DEFENCE LEAGUE (EDL) LIMITED.

A reminder that the Jewish Defence League (JDL) is proscribed as a terrorist organisation in the United StatesImage

Tommy Robinson's connections to the fascist Zionist terror group the JDL do not end there.

An early supporter of the EDL who spoke at their rallies outside the Israeli Embassy was former Israeli military trainer Rabbi Nachum Shifren. He was also the driver for infamous JDL founder Meir Kahane.Image
According to his former employee, Lucy Brown, Tommy Robinson received £10,000 monthly from Robert Shillman, a board member of the Friends of the IDF.

Shillman is filmed speaking here at the Zionist Organization of America.
Tommy Robinson is pictured here with a steward provided by the Campaign Against Antisemitism.

The CAA's founder and director is simultaneously a director of the JNF, the largest settlement building org in occupied Palestine.

The Israeli PM and President are patrons of the JNF. Image
Tommy Robinson previously described a key figure on the Board of Deputies, Robert Festenstein, as his legal advisor.

The Board of Deputies states in its 2020 Trustees Report that it has a "close working relationship with the Israeli embassy and strengthened links to the IDF." Image
Decades of propaganda have led to today's racist attacks, but one of the least examined aspects of this has been Robinson's own statements, which contextualise it as revenge for pro-Palestinian protests.

His long relationship with the Zionist Movement needs further investigation as an issue of national security.Image

Douglas Murray is an Israeli asset.

He even received an award from Israeli President Isaac Herzog for propaganda services in the midst of the Gaza genocide.

"It’s an extraordinary privilege for me to align with the State of Israel..." gushed Murray at the president's residence. Image
In 2024, Douglas Murray was scheduled to host a fundraiser for Israeli soldiers in London, but the event was cancelled after workers refused to staff it even when they were offered triple pay.
Douglas Murray worked for many years as a director of the Henry Jackson Society alongside executive director Alan Mendoza.

Mendoza is also president at the UK branch of the largest settlement-building organisation in Palestine, the JNF, where Netanyahu is a patron.

It looks like US President Donald Trump will seek to "recognise Israeli sovereignity" over the West Bank.

This thread examines the possibility and those around him pushing for it.
Trump's presidential campaign was bankrolled by Israel lobbyist Miriam Adelson, the widow of Casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson.

One of her demands of Trump was the recognition of Israeli sovereignity over the West Bank. Image
Trump's relationship with the late Sheldon Adelson went back many decades. Adelson pumped hundreds of millions into AIPAC, Birthright, illegal settlements in the West Bank and even the failed political campaign of Rabbi Shmuley.

Both Trump and Adelson's names were included on a list of individuals that Benjamin Netanyahu considered to be funders of his political campaign.Image

It seems the pagers that exploded in Lebanon, injuring close to 3,000 people and killing a 10-year-old girl, were manufactured by Motorola.

This thread explains how Motorola is far more deeply integrated with the Israeli military than most non-Israeli technology companies.
Motorola developed a special encrypted system tailor-made for the Israeli military, unconnected to any civilian networks.

It was the product of a joint project between Motorola Israel and the Israeli Army named Mountain Rose. The aim was to prevent counter-surveillance by resistance forces in the region.
Motorola also setup the Wide Area Surveillance System known as MotoEagle for the Israeli Ministry of Defence. This system is essential to the settlement network and apartheid wall infrastructure.

Motorola also supplies the Israeli police with the Astro25 communication system, through which the officers interact with each other.

"I’ve already seen you deliberately leave the pavement and walk against this march…your comment is disingenuous"

Footage emerges of conversation between Israel lobbyist Gideon Falter and a police officer during the recent demonstration.
It should be noted that Gideon Falter is Vice Chairman at the UK branch of the largest Israeli settlement building body in Palestine, the JNF.

Patrons of his branch include Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
"Gideon Falter's organisation, the CAA, was setup to protect the Israeli Embassy when the Tricycle Theatre in Kilburn refused its funding for a film festival..."

So, it seems Candace Owens has been cancelled by Ben Shapiro and the Daily Wire for opposing Israel's genocide in Gaza.

The Daily Wire is funded by Kape Technologies, whose CEO is Israeli Intelligence Duvdevan Unit veteran Ido Erlichman.
Before founding The Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro was funded by Robert Shillman, a tech billionaire on the board of The Friends of the IDF.

Shillman also funded Tommy Robinson at that time.
Shapiro and the co-founder of The Daily Wire, Jeremy Boreing, both helped Israel lobbyist Dennis Prager set up the YouTube channel Prager University, where they worked under Israeli Unit 8200 Military Intelligence veteran Marissa Streit.
