Theory Briefing
- Anti-Israel social media accounts spread claims blaming Israel for border disruptions at Ceuta, Spain's enclave on the African coast.
- The conspiracy spread over a single weekend, showing how fast a geopolitically charged narrative can attach to an unrelated crisis.
- No evidence linking Israel to the Ceuta situation was presented — the theory relied entirely on assumed motive and online amplification.
- Ceuta's migrant crossings are a long-running tension between Spain and Morocco, giving the conspiracy a real crisis to latch onto.
