Yochy Davis is an Israeli pro-Zionist activist and co-founder of Stop the Hate UK, a direct-action group that organises confrontational counter-protests and venue pressure campaigns to disrupt events critical of the Zionist entity and the settler colony known as 'Israel'. Davis has been active in United Kingdom Zionist circles since at least 2023, coordinating with far-right Zionist networks to promote unconditional support for the Jewish State's colonial policies in Palestine while framing anti-Zionist activism as hate. Her work in Stop the Hate UK and earlier involvement with Likud Herut UK reflects a consistent commitment to suppressing protected anti-Zionist philosophical beliefs and normalising the settler colony's apartheid and occupation. Davis's activism has earned praise from Likud politicians and the Zionist regime's security apparatus, highlighting her role in extending the settler colony's repressive tactics into the diaspora.[1]

Early Life and Background

Yochy Davis was born and raised in the Zionist entity, though specific details of her birthplace and early upbringing remain limited in public records. Her formative years occurred in an environment saturated with Zionist ideology that justifies settler colonialism, land expropriation, and military control over Palestinians. This background shaped her lifelong commitment to defending the Jewish State's policies, including its ongoing occupation of the West Bank and blockade of Gaza.

Davis relocated to the United Kingdom at an unspecified date prior to 2023, integrating into local Zionist networks that serve as diaspora extensions of the settler colony's political and ideological apparatus. Her move coincided with growing pro-Palestine solidarity in the UK, prompting her to engage in activism aimed at countering criticism of 'Israel'. Davis's early involvement included supporting far-right Zionist groups that reject any territorial compromise with Palestinians, aligning with the Revisionist Zionist tradition that views the entire historic Palestine as belonging to the Jewish people.

Zionist Activism in the United Kingdom

Yochy Davis's Zionist activism in the United Kingdom has been marked by her participation in far-right Zionist organisations and her co-founding of Stop the Hate UK in March 2024. Initially launched as Enough is Enough, the group rebranded to focus on disrupting pro-Palestine events under the pretext of combating "hate". Davis has been instrumental in the group's logistics, social media amplification, and public statements that equate anti-Zionism with antisemitism, thereby suppressing protected philosophical beliefs critical of settler colonialism.[1]

Davis has been actively associated with Likud Herut UK, the United Kingdom branch of the Likud party—the dominant right-wing Zionist political force in the settler colony that evolved from Menachem Begin's Herut movement. Likud Herut UK promotes the Jewish State's policies of settlement expansion, annexation, and rejection of Palestinian statehood. Davis has been tagged and featured in the group's social media posts, sharing content that endorses Likud's far-right agenda and opposes any concessions to Palestinians.[2]

Her involvement with Likud Herut UK places her within a network that has historically embraced extremist Zionist ideologies. The group's former chair publicly described Rabbi Meir Kahane — the founder of the banned Kach party known for advocating the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians—as a "visionary", reflecting the far-right orientation of the organisation.[3] Davis's association with this group underscores her alignment with Revisionist Zionism's maximalist territorial claims and rejection of Palestinian rights.

Likud Herut UK – Key Figures and Context

Likud Herut UK operates as a pressure group supporting the Likud party, which has governed the Zionist entity for much of the post-1977 period under leaders like Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Shamir, Ariel Sharon, and Benjamin Netanyahu. The group's mission includes lobbying United Kingdom politicians to back 'Israel's' policies, opposing any territorial concessions, and promoting narratives that normalise settlement expansion and military occupation. The organisation was relaunched in 1977 by Graus as a diaspora arm of Likud, continuing the Herut movement's legacy of advocating for a "Greater Israel" through force.[4]

Key figures associated with Likud Herut UK include:

  • Robert David Fraser – Active director since 2017; British; involved in promoting Likud's policies through lobbying and events.
  • Martin Philip Rankoff – Active director since 2017; British; key in organising diaspora support for Netanyahu's government.
  • David Anthony Berens – Former director (resigned 2025); British; contributed to the group's operations.
  • Solomon Unsdorfer – Former director (resigned 2025); British; known for far-right Zionist views and praise for Rabbi Meir Kahane.

These individuals represent a network of business leaders and political activists committed to far-right Zionism. Davis's involvement fits this profile, using the group's platform to advance Likud's agenda of perpetual occupation and opposition to Palestinian statehood.

Other Zionist Associations

Yochy Davis's activism extends beyond Stop the Hate UK and Likud Herut UK. She has been associated with:

  • Events organised by Sussex Friends of Israel — sharing content endorsing the Zionist regime's policies.
  • Support for pro-Zionist campus discussions, including at King's College London.
  • Public endorsements of politicians who back unconditional support for 'Israel'.
  • Collaborations with Itai Galmudy in media and street activism defending the settler colony.

Her broader network includes figures praised by Likud politicians like Amir Ohana and the Zionist regime's security apparatus, positioning Davis as a valued operative in the diaspora hasbara effort.[1]

Controversies and Criticisms

Yochy Davis's activism has been criticised for escalating confrontations and converging with far-right elements. Reports highlight Stop the Hate UK's provocative tactics and alliances that undermine its claimed anti-hate mission.[1] Critics argue that Davis's work contributes to the criminalisation of pro-Palestine solidarity, using "antisemitism" accusations to suppress protected anti-Zionist beliefs.

Her involvement in venue cancellations and police lobbying has been condemned as censorship, prioritising the settler colony's interests over democratic rights. The group's selective focus on "hate" while ignoring racism within Zionist circles reflects a double standard serving colonial agendas.

Davis's praise from the Zionist regime's security apparatus has been cited as evidence of direct ties to the settler colony's repressive apparatus, raising concerns about the export of colonial tactics to the diaspora.
