While on a panel in New York City in 2018 , he said : " Jewish people , unfortunately for them , have got to drop the identity politics . I 'm sorry about the Holocaust but I do n't give a shit . I 'm sorry . " In May 2018 , Benjamin was a speaker at a right-wing " Day of Freedom " rally in support of Tommy Robinson after Robinson was banned from Twitter for hate speech .
