Tommy Robinson, who changed his real name from Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon, is known for his anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim rhetoric. He co-founded the English Defence League, a far-right, anti-immigrant organisation, in 2009 and led the group until 2013. He has also been involved with other far-right organisations, including the British National Party (BNP) and Pegida UK.
In 2018, Tommy Robinson faced contempt of court charges for live-streaming a Facebook video outside Leeds Crown Court. He filmed and broadcast footage of defendants involved in a sexual grooming gang trial, violating a reporting ban.
However, he only served 2 of his 13 months.
The Middle East Forum (MEF), a pro-Israel conservative think tank, claimed to have funded Robinson's legal expenses. They stated they were assisting Robinson by financing his legal defence, applying foreign pressure on the UK government for his safety, and organising rallies in his support.
But what can Zionist and pro-Israel entities gain from supporting Robinson?
