UK’s Tommy Robinson gets lectured by media figures during Israel visit

During a visit to Israel this week, UK far-right activist and convicted criminal Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, appears to get lectured during interviews with Israeli media figures Yishai Fleisher and Fleur Hassan-Nahoum.

Fleisher told Robinson the UK has “a special place in hell for turning on the Jewish people,” referring to the UK’s recognition of a Palestinian state last month, while Hassan-Nahoum questioned Robinson about his knowledge of Jewish history in the UK.

“I done the Holocaust Memorial Museum today. I understand it a lot better now,” Robinson answered.
