• Zionist Links: Tommy Robinson and the EDL have ties to extremist Zionist groups.
• Robinson’s financial support from Zionist sources questions his real motives.
Tommy Robinson, a figure often associated with the far-right in the Uk, is best known for founding the English Defence League (EDL).
Robinson’s ascent is intrinsically connected to his affiliations with extremist Zionist elements and influential international actors. These associations are, in significant part, a manifestation of his pervasive Islamophobia.
This article draws on insights from various sources, including Double Down News and the extensive research by Lowkey, to shed light on the complex and often obscured connections behind Tommy Robinson and the EDL.
The formation of the EDL wasn’t solely Robinson’s effort; it involved key figures like Paul Ray, who played a significant role in laying the groundwork for the organisation. Paul Ray, who had previously infiltrated a pro-Palestinian organisation, reportedly worked closely with Israeli intelligence. His activities, combined with those of Roberta Moore, a former Israeli soldier, were instrumental in registering the EDL and later leading its Jewish Division.
Moore’s connections to the Jewish Defence League (JDL), a group designated as a terrorist organisation by the U.S. government, reveal the depth of the EDL’s ties to extremist Zionist movements. These associations suggest that the EDL’s creation may have been influenced by Zionist extremists with a broader agenda beyond mere reactionary opposition to Islam.
Zionist Connections and Financial Support
The financial backing of Tommy Robinson adds another layer of complexity. Robinson’s role as a fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Centre was funded by tech billionaire Robert Shillman, a board member of Friends of the Israel Defence Forces. Shillman’s financial support, reportedly amounting to £8,000 per month, underscores the international interest in Robinson’s activities. The Middle East Forum, another organisation linked to Zionist extremism, also provided significant funding, further questioning where Robinson’s true allegiances lie.
Roberta Moore and other EDL members maintained close relationships with the JDL, an organization that advocates for extreme measures, including the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. These connections raise significant concerns about the true nature of the EDL. Figures like Rabbi Nachum Shifren, a close associate of JDL founder Meir Kahane, frequently appeared at EDL events, further cementing these troubling ties.
Roberta Moore, who played a pivotal role in the founding of the EDL’s Jewish Division, has also drawn attention for her sickening admiration of Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian far-right extremist responsible for the 2011 Oslo and Utøya attacks. Moore has publicly expressed support for Breivik’s anti-Muslim views, referring to him as a “hero” in certain far-right circles. Her endorsement of Breivik, a figure widely condemned for his acts of terrorism, further exposes the extreme ideology driving some of the EDL’s leaders and raises serious concerns about the dangerous rhetoric that permeates the group. Moore’s alignment with such a notorious figure underscores the extremist nature of the EDL’s connections and their potential for inciting violence.
A Patriot or a Pawn?
Oh Tommy Tommy, the patriot who has an Irish passport, an Irish mother, lives in Spain and ran away to Cyprus. As English as Chicken Tikka Masala.
Tommy Robinson’s public persona as a British patriot is increasingly at odds with his connections to international Zionist extremists. His statements and actions, such as his declaration that he would fight for Israel in a conflict, raise serious doubts about his claims of defending British values. Moreover, his callous remarks about British soldiers killed by Israeli airstrikes in Gaza starkly contrast with his self-styled image as a defender of British interests.
The connections between Tommy Robinson, the EDL, and extremist Zionist organisations like the JDL are not just concerning—they demand further scrutiny. These links, which have been largely ignored by mainstream British media, suggest that the EDL have been more than just a reactionary group—it may have been part of a larger, more sinister agenda. As Robinson continues to influence far-right circles, it is essential to examine these relationships and question his true motives.
