After two intense weeks documenting Tommy Robinson’s visit to Israel, Avi Yemini provides an unfiltered account of the trip’s emotional highs and lows. The coverage highlights Robinson’s interactions with Israeli civilians, soldiers, and hostage families, as well as his reflections on the country’s policies and global perceptions.
Robinson described the journey as “beautiful, harrowing, heartbreaking, and fun” all at once, emphasizing the range of emotions experienced during his time in Israel. He noted the gratitude expressed by many Israelis for his efforts to “tell the truth,” a sentiment he found both surprising and disheartening. “It’s pretty mad and sad… people going, ‘Oh my God, thank you,’” he said. “Thank you for what? For saying the honest truth of what’s happening?”
The former UK anti-Islamism advocate also shared a spiritual moment during his visit, recounting how Christians prayed for him and the profound sense of connection he felt. He mused about returning to Israel for baptism, stating, “I think I felt the Holy Spirit.”
Robinson criticized Western inaction on immigration, praising Israel’s approach to border security while contrasting it with policies in other nations. He remained unfazed by backlash against his visit, asserting, “I go where I want, whenever I want. Israel’s a beautiful country. I’m coming back.”
The article concludes without addressing the funding model or logistical details of the reporting, focusing solely on Robinson’s experiences and statements.
