Israel’s Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli has extended a high-profile invitation to British activist and outspoken immigration critic Tommy Robinson, calling him a “courageous leader” in the fight against radical Islam. Robinson, known for his unapologetic stance against jihadist extremism and his support for Israel, is set to visit the Jewish state in mid-October, immediately following his October 13 court appearance in the U.K. “In the wake of the horrific Manchester terrorist attack, Israel and the Jewish people stand firmly with our allies in the United Kingdom,” Chikli wrote on X. “Tommy is a courageous leader on the front line against radical Islam… He has proven himself a true friend of Israel and the Jewish people.” The invitation marks a striking gesture of solidarity between segments of Israeli leadership and Western nationalists who have consistently supported Israel’s right to self-defense — especially since Hamas’s October 7 massacre. Robinson, who accepted the invitation, emphasized the trip as a personal mission—not one motivated by compensation or fanfare, but by shared values and a mutual struggle. “The horrific Manchester attack has strengthened my conviction that the United Kingdom and Israel are fighting the same battle—against the scourge of Islamic jihad,” Robinson posted on X. “Their fight is our fight. I’m a proud British patriot and a Zionist.” During his visit, Robinson plans to tour key sites across Israel, including Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, and the Nova Festival site — scene of Hamas’s atrocities on October 7, 2023. He also intends to visit Yad Vashem, the Jabotinsky Institute, and the Knesset, where he’ll meet with Israeli lawmakers including Chikli. The visit, he said, will be an opportunity to deepen his understanding of Zionism and Jewish history. “Jabotinsky is the ideological forefather of Prime Minister Netanyahu, one of the great leaders of the world.” Robinson noted, adding his desire to learn more about the roots of Jewish national self-determination. Robinson’s vocal support for Israel hasn’t come without backlash. After some liberal Jewish groups criticized the invitation, Robinson didn’t back down. “The elitist Jews, the woke, liberal, open-borders Jews—they don’t represent ordinary Jews,” he said. “The conservative Jews who invited me—like Netanyahu and Chikli—do.” As expected, Robinson’s candor sparked further accusations of antisemitism—claims he flatly rejected. “Calling out ‘elitist Jews’ is not in any way antisemitic,” he said. “That is a tool used by infantilised indoctrinates who despicably use the term/slur (dependent on context) to protect themselves from legitimate criticism while simultaneously covering their ideological opponent with a disingenuous mud they hope sticks so they don’t have to tackle the real issue. Attacking the man while ignoring the message is a typical leftist bulls*** thing to do and it doesn’t wash with me.” Prominent Jewish voices defended Chikli’s decision and Robinson himself. Speaker of the Knesset Amir Ohana declared, “Looking forward to hosting you at the Knesset mate! You’re doing a great service to your country, but more than that. As I have said repeatedly since Oct 7th, far from being a local struggle — this is a global battle, between the forces of radicalism, extremism and fundamentalism, and those of freedom, liberty and democracy. Western civilization is under attack — and it’s our duty to stand firmly together — and win. See you in Jerusalem!” Looking forward to hosting you at the Knesset mate! You’re doing a great service to your country, but more than that.

As Israel faces mounting global hostility and Jews in Europe confront rising antisemitism, Tommy Robinson’s visit may prove more than symbolic — it may be a defining moment in the growing alliance between nationalist conservatives and defenders of the Jewish state.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden—Though a fraction of the size, Sweden has faced issues similar to America’s in recent years, including mass immigration and a wave of violent crime.   “In some parts of Sweden, there are routine bombings. There are gang attacks and assassinations on rival groups,” said Wilson Beaver, a senior policy adviser for defense budgeting and NATO policy at The Heritage Foundation.   While both Sweden and the U.S. place significant focus on preparing for threats from outside their respective borders, Sweden, like the U.S., has taken measures to improve domestic safety, including further restricting immigration.   “The deputy prime minister of Sweden has really taken a very tough stance” on mass migration into Sweden, Beaver told The Daily Signal during an interview outside Sweden’s Royal Palace. Ebba Busch, who serves as deputy prime minister and is a part of Sweden’s center-right Christian Democrats party, has said that migrants who don’t assimilate to Swedish culture can return to their home countries.   Outside of an influx of Ukrainians fleeing the war between Russia and Ukraine, the largest percentage of immigrant to Sweden in recent years have been from Middle Eastern countries, such as Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq.   Amid a wave of gang violence, the Swedish parliament, which leans conservative following the 2022 elections, took steps to discourage immigration, such as making it harder to gain a residence permit. Sweden has also begun accepting fewer asylum-seekers. In 2024, Sweden granted the lowest number of resident permits to asylum-seekers on record.   “Sweden is redirecting its focus from being a country for asylum immigration to now being a country for labor immigration,” according to the Swedish government.   Similarly to Sweden, under the leadership of President Donald Trump, the U.S. has stopped paroling illegal aliens into the U.S. and is conducting operations across the country to arrest and remove criminal illegal aliens. The Trump administration is also working to crackdown on crime across the U.S. and has deployed National Guard troops to Washington, D.C. Sweden’s government is also taking aggressive action to increase defense spending and further security on the world stage.   Despite being the newest NATO member, Sweden is rapidly becoming one of the largest defense spenders and plans to be spending 3.5% of its gross domestic product on defense by 2030.   Sweden’s increased defense spending is not only critical because of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, but also because the U.S. is expected to reduce the number of troops it has in Europe in order to increase military presence in the Indo-Pacific due to the threat of China.   The U.S. is working with “allies, countries like Sweden, to ensure that any American capability that is reduced is replaced by a new European capability,” Beaver said.   With the exception of Spain, NATO counties have agreed to spend 3.5% of their GDP on defense, and an additional 1.5% on civil preparedness, protection of infrastructure, and the like, by 2035.    Beaver said he is seeking a shift across Europe as more and more NATO countries recognize the need to take responsibility for European security and not rely on America.   Europe, Beaver said, can anticipate a more “responsible and secure environment” as they “depend a little bit less on the American security umbrella and think a little bit more about how to do things on their own again.”   The post European Country Taking Conservative Approach to Immigration, Security appeared first on The Daily Signal.
