Israel has co-opted Western right-wing protests to lump genuine concerns with its own agenda<\/strong><\/p>\n Call me cynical, but am I the only one who gets side-eye strain every time another anti-immigration protest takes over London’s streets? At this point, it feels less like a grassroots uprising and more like a recurring stage play. But who’s the director?<\/p>\n Yes, yes, we know there’s a problem. Our overlords know it too. That’s why they don’t even bother anymore to pretend that they’re “managing”<\/em> it. Instead, they’re desperately trying to sweep the whole mess under a rug and hoping that nobody notices the bulge.<\/p>\n Just a decade ago, the idea of British politicians ringing up African nations like, “Hey lads, we’ve got a few too many imports. Want to warehouse them for us until we figure out what the hell we’re doing?”<\/em> would’ve been unthinkable. But that’s exactly what the Rwanda deal<\/a> was. A political yard sale of asylum seekers. And now the EU has been trying to copy the trend. Outsourcing responsibility is the new badge of enlightened statesmanship. The EU can’t agree on what time to break for lunch, but when it comes to dumping migrants on poorer nations, suddenly it’s kumbaya time.<\/p>\n Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer had tried clinging to the ideological fantasy of the establishment left: looking out across Britain and seeing a beautiful rainbow of cultures, conveniently airbrushed of crime stats and housing shortages. When he took office last year, he smugly declared his Tory predecessors’ deportation plan “dead and buried.”<\/em> Oh, how quickly the corpse has been exhumed! Now he is floating the idea of “return hubs”<\/em> in foreign countries for asylum seekers.<\/p>\n Why the U-turn? Maybe it has something to do with Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party currently polling<\/a> at 35% – a record 15-point lead over Starmer’s Labour. Self-preservation always trumps virtue signaling. And nothing shifts a politician’s priorities like the sound of voters measuring you for a political coffin.<\/p>\n Starmer clearly understands that either the migrants go, or he does. The luxury of “demographic suicide”<\/em> policies only exists when your population is oblivious enough to shrug and go back to scrolling. That’s no longer the case in Britain. Or Canada. Or France. Or Germany. Basically, anywhere leaders tried to play open-border humanitarians while voters footed the bill in more ways than one.<\/p>\n \n Read more<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n And right on cue enters Tommy Robinson, forever reinventing himself as Britain’s last line of defense, while somehow always landing face-first in the donation jar. This time, he’s pretending to haul the entire nation up the escalator of destiny by the handrail. Over the weekend, his “Unite the Kingdom”<\/em> rally drew an estimated 110,000+ people. He called it “the spark of a cultural revolution in Great Britain.”<\/em> Sure, Tommy. Surf that grift wave.<\/p>\n But here’s the thing that I can’t unsee. Robinson and his crew are sustained by pro-Israel donors. The Observer recently reported<\/a>, for instance, that Jewish-American tech billionaire, Robert Shillman, has bankrolled him and his colleagues through “fellowships.”<\/em> Shillman’s hobby appears to be funding anyone who can bang the anti-Islam drum loudly enough to double as PR for Israel. He has also backed<\/a> folks like the late Charlie Kirk, who was honored at the weekend’s rally.<\/p>\n Other Israel-backed entities, like the Middle East Forum, have white-knighted for Robinson amid his various legal woes, financially backing “Free Tommy”<\/em> protests and leaders, as the Financial Times has reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n And when Kirk was assassinated last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu didn’t miss a beat. Taking a few minutes off from flattening Gaza, he mourned Kirk as a victim of “radical Islamists and ultra-progressives.”<\/em> Except that Kirk was allegedly killed by a 22-year-old white kid from a MAGA family in Utah, raised on guns and memes. But why let facts interfere with a perfectly good morality play?<\/p>\n Netanyahu doubled down in his Fox News appearance, painting Islamists and progressives as one giant evil blob. It’s the same rhetorical sleight of hand that the EU loves, where Russia and ISIS somehow end up in the same sentence, like geopolitical partners in crime. The trick works because it’s a lazy, simple shortcut that bypasses any critical thinking. Perfect for audiences who prefer their villains pre-packaged and easily digested with their morning coffee before getting on with their day. And in this case, it’s a grotesque and cynical attempt to manipulate the same populist right that abhors every attempt of his to drag the West into regime change wars into making common cause with Israel.<\/p>\n
