Gun-toting British anti-Muslim activist poses on Israeli tank

A prominent British far-right activist and anti-Muslim campaigner has posted photos of himself posing with a gun on an Israeli tank in the occupied Golan Heights.

 

Tommy Robinson, who leads Pegida UK, the British branch of the German-founded Pegida movement, posted the photo on Wednesday and wrote: "All those people telling me to be careful in Israel , I think I'll be ok".

 

The founder and former leader of the anti-Muslim English Defence League (EDL), whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, arrived in Israel on Monday, posting the message "The Eagle has landed" on Twitter.

 

On Tuesday he posted a photo of himself posing by a road sign in the illegally occupied West Bank.
