You can't accuse Israel of being anything other than squeaky clean, according to some posters on here. I had the same sort of reaction when I mentioned reports that Israel and Netenyahu had ignored a number of warnings in the run-up to the 7th October attacks, and that it wasn't outside the realms of reason that Netenyahu may have made decisions he believed to be politically expedient. |  |

I don't really understand the relevance of Netanyahu Jr's post? It's clear what he means, which is nothing to do with the subject. |  | |  |

I don't see any conspiracy theory being posted. I see a post by Netanyahu son being posted. I see it as opening a wider debate about colonialism of Arab lands. Perhaps you would like to explain why it is abusive? |  | |  |

I am certainly not, but you used the label 'Arab Lands', not me. Cueta seems to be a relative success story, albeit on a smaller scale. It's about half Spanish European and half Arab. I didn't really know a great deal about it until this week tbf. |  | |  |

As ever, you appear to be conflating Israel with Judaism. Suggesting Israel may be conspiring is *not* anti-semitic, however much the pro-Israel lobby would love that to be the case. |  |

Arab lands was the term used by Netanyahus son in the original tweet. Do you think he was wrong to use it? Though i personally was thinking more about Cueta. A place I knew a bit in the 90,s |  | |  |

| 49,000 migrants crossing in one day to Cueta on 10:58 - Jul 31 by Guthrum | There are legitimate issues around immigration and to what extent it should be limited, or to what social and economic benefits new arrivals should be entitled. Particularly as the vast majority of immigration is legal (e.g. international students). However, it has been whipped up into a storm by those more concerned with votes than truth, particularly by conflating legal with illegal immigration and attributing criminality to those who have come. The proper debate is not being had, so a lot of what is said and written on the subject can be dismissed as hyperbole, if not outright manipulation. |
You're not wrong- seems absolutely absurd that it is seemingly never actually mentioned that the reason things are as they are, is because all legal routes were closed! It's an entirely manufactured problem. |  | |  |

Implying that Israel is somehow engineering mass immigration in to Europe is a classic case of antisemitism. It's levelled against Israel because Israel is a Jewish state, and it is an old fashioned Jewish conspiracy theory. I'm no fan of Israel, but the origins of such a theory are pretty obvious.

and you're imagining stuff. as ever. where have i said anything about anti-semitic? made up conspiracy theories are moronic whatever the motive and no decent person would spread them. |  |

Not sure of the long term plot but it's being widely discussed here that the Moroccans have the support of Israel and the US in orchestrating the mass movement of kids into Ceuta. One prominent Catalan politician I saw just now describing the use of their own kids as cannon fodder to appease their backers. As I said before I don't think it's conspiracy theory to suggest who might be behind this. It clearly wasn't a spontaneous movement of people so some orchestration was almost certain. It's only natural to look at countries who have recently been threatening Spain or ones with historical grievances. Or a combination of them all. |  | |  |

| 49,000 migrants crossing in one day to Cueta on 15:16 - Jul 31 by BarcaBlue | Yeah, I don't see the outrage here. Israel and the US have recently been threatening Spain. Relations with Morocco have always been strained. Then there's the smuggling gangs and their backers. Tens of thousands of young Moroccans didn't independently wake up yesterday morning and decide they were going to give it a go. The only logical explanation is of outside influence by one or more parties working together. |
It very much doesn’t look like just a busy day for normal migration. There have been suggestions that it’s Morocco playing silly beggars. You mentioned relations are often strained. Has there been a particular falling out recently over anything? (As in, are there any current disputes that mean it could just be Morocco loosening security to show Spain they have a tool to use?).

The most recent is Spain switching to Algeria for its gas supplies meaning a closer relationship to a country often at odds with Morocco particularly over the Western Sahara. Morocco has strengthened ties with the US and now recognizes Israel as a State so it probably feels more emboldened to pull stunts like this knowing it will have powerful backers in the US and Israel. There's suggestions the new 1000km highway north to south in Morocco will be named after Trump but as it was Trump who broke the news, the official naming is in doubt. |  | |  |

Thanks. It all sounds very political doesn’t it. I don’t see how it’s particularly relevant to the immigration ‘debate’ (debacle?) over here in the UK. |  |

I think it's part of a wider debate and a process of destabilisation in the region from the US. Italy has announced it's closing Schengen agreements temporarily which is completely daft as this is all still confined to the African continent. It means Trump, Musk etc can point to serious issues ongoing in Spain and Europe regarding migration. Israel can look on smugly at the unrest, Farage etc can hark on about threats to our civilization so everyone's a winner. Well except the 30 or so kids who drowned yesterday. |  | |  |
