British far-right activist Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon, has sparked controversy after sharing inaccurate information about the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. In a social media video posted on Sunday, Robinson, visiting the site as a guest of the Israeli government, claimed that the church’s accessibility was due to Israeli control. However, he omitted crucial historical context: the church has been protected under Muslim caliphs for centuries, and its 20cm-long iron key has been entrusted to two Palestinian Muslim families—the Nuseibehs and Joudehs—since 1187, when Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi established this arrangement to ensure neutrality among Christian denominations. Social media users swiftly corrected Robinson, emphasizing the long-standing Muslim-Christian coexistence symbolized by this tradition. Critics accused Robinson of spreading propaganda that whitewashes Israeli violence against Palestinians, particularly Christians. They highlighted instances of Israeli attacks on Christian sites, including the destruction of the 5th-century Church of Saint Porphyrius in Gaza and the burning of the Church of Saint George in the West Bank. Robinson’s visit, facilitated by Israel’s diaspora minister Amichai Chikli, has been widely condemned, including by Jewish organizations like the Board of Deputies of British Jews, which labeled him a ‘thug.’ Robinson defended his trip as a ‘fact-finding mission’ amid what he called ‘propaganda against Israel.’
