Attributing “hybrid attacks” against European governments to Israel

What it claims

Israel is accused of deliberately provoking migration crises in Europe to punish countries that support Palestine. By citing anonymous foreign intelligence sources, the narrative promotes the claim that Israel uses illegal migration as a tool for political blackmail.

Target audience

Examples (paraphrased)

We paraphrase rather than quote: propaganda's exact wording is built to spread, so we carry the claim and not the craft. Each example cites the post it came from.

• Chinese intelligence suspects Israel of organising the illegal migration crisis in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta.

Goal

To portray Israel as a hostile force threatening the stability of European allies and to provoke the country's diplomatic isolation.

Techniques used

• Appeal to AuthorityUsing references to Chinese intelligence and Spanish media to lend weight to the accusations.
• Loaded LanguageUsing the term “hybrid warfare” to describe Israel's actions against European states.

The real grievance it exploits

Israeli fears regarding the deterioration of relations with Europe and the rise of international hostility towards Israel due to the war.

How to counter

• Technique exposure: Note the source: Iranian outlets cite alleged “Chinese intelligence” to blame Israel for problems of European or African origin. This is a classic method of shifting responsibility.
