Israel’s Support For Morocco’s Siege Of Ceuta Backstabs The Entire West
Likud’s use of the Abraham Accords to support Morocco’s aggression on Spanish territory reveals an opportunistic alignment that uses the Abraham Accords as a Trojan Horse against Europe
In late July, Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta faced an unprecedented migrant surge when tens of thousands of people (estimates ranging from 50,000 to over 70,000), primarily military aged males, crossed from neighboring Morocco by swimming around coastal barriers or scaling fences, briefly overwhelming the enclave of about 83,000 residents, an invasion straight out of Camp of the Saints. Most of the Moroccans who rushed into Ceuta have already head back to Morocco, yet several thousand remain, leaving local authorities to manage ongoing humanitarian strain, overcrowded reception centers, and fears of further coordinated crossing attempts.
If these invaders were granted residency, they would ultimately have the ability to have free movement through all of Europe’s Schengen zone. This had the potential to trigger a migrant crisis that harms all of Europe, as Italy temporarily closed free travel from Spain. However, Spain ended up swiftly deporting more people in a day than most right-wing governments in Europe have managed to over the span of years, preventing a full blown crisis. Spain’s swift response shows that states can repel migrant invasions if they really want to.
Even if Spain’s prime minister, Pedro Sanchez, is a leftist, it doesn’t look like Spain is caving into handing over Ceuta to Morocco. Moroccans are using their people as human shields, a tactic to try to get them killed or injured so that they can play the victim. Most of the migrant deaths were because Moroccan police forced migrants into the sea to cross into Ceuta to orchestrate a fake humanitarian crisis to blame on Spain. These are kinetic events that are designed to inspire fear and create disorder and are no different from when Russia and Belarus weaponized migrants against Finland and Poland. There are also historic parallels to Rhodesia, as far as using fear and terror to get the “colonists” to return back to Europe to reclaim that land.
Even if Israel didn’t orchestrate the attack directly, Israel’s open statements of recognizing Moroccan territorial claims and prominent zionists and high ranking Israeli officials, including their foreign minister, celebrating the siege that put the lives of Spanish citizens in direct danger, shows extreme hostility toward Spaniards and Europeans. Netanyahu’s son, Yair, urged ‘Arabs’ and ‘Muslims’ to ‘free’ the Spanish territories back in 2019 and retweeted a map showing half of Spain under Islamic control, as “Al-Andalus,” the historic Moorish province. Since Spain was the historic battlefield of defending Europe from Islamic invasion, Netanyahu’s son’s statements are such an upfront to all Europeans and makes it crystal clear that the Netanyahu regime is as much of an adversary to the West as any Sunni Muslim extremist who desires a caliphate.
It is not just Israel that supports Morocco’s territorial claims over Spanish territories but also the Trump administration and GOP. The US ambassador to Morocco praised Morocco at the very same moment of the siege, Trump posted a video about a highway named after him in Morocco’s disputed Western Sahara territory that same day, and Trump had previously made some veiled threats against Spain. A neocon DC think tank, American Enterprise Institute, has been lobbying Marco Rubio on this invasion of Ceuta for several months. Michael Rubin, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, suggested that the US lobby Morocco to storm the two Spanish exclaves with the help of civilian masses. In March 2026, Rubin called on the Trump administration to formally recognize Ceuta and Melilla as occupied Moroccan territory, branding Spain ‘a colonial power’ running colonies across the Strait of Gibraltar. Shortly afterward, Republican representative, Mario Díaz-Balart, chairman of the House Subcommittee on National Security and one of Marco Rubio’s closest congressional confidants, declared publicly that the enclaves ‘are not in the geographic territory of Spain’ but rather in Moroccan territory, and that their fate should be ‘established, negotiated, and discussed between friends and allies.’
A few weeks ago, the House passed a bill that green lit and funded the transfer of Spanish territory to Morocco, which every Republican except Thomas Massie voted for. Not to mention that these White Hispanic Cuban Republicans like Mario Díaz-Balart and Marco Rubio have betrayed their Spanish heritage. I suspect that the rightwing Miami Cubans hope that America will create a puppet government in Spain and appoint them as the elite.
This was Morocco’s reward for recognizing Israel and joining the Abraham Accords, and punishment against Spain for supporting the Palestinians. Morocco agreed to join Trump’s Gaza “Peace Board” along with Kosovo, a Muslim puppet regime of the US, to help Israel occupy Gaza. Morocco has had covert cooperation with Israel since the 1960s and the Moroccan royal family has been anti-Khomeini since the Iranian revolution. Trump is also upset that Spain refused to let America refuel aircraft at US bases for the Iran war.
Istanbul/Bosphorus Strait and the Strait of Gibraltar are crucial geopolitical choke points and the Bosphorus already belongs to Turkey, so it is crucial that Europeans control Gibraltar and not the Arabs or Americans, which I think is America’s plan since it lost control of the Strait of Hormuz to Iran and the Houthis are blocking Israel’s access to the Red Sea.
The purpose of the Abraham Accords, besides countering Iran, was for Israel to build an alliance with wealthy, albeit despotic and amoral, Arab regimes like the UAE, so that Israel can bypass having to deal with Europe altogether, thus severing off Israel as part of Western Civilization. This siege on Ceuta is the culmination of the Abraham Accords being weaponized against Europe. Israel and America’s alliance with Gulf State Wahhabi/Salafist Islam has been deeply disturbing, such as their support for the Syrian rebels against Assad. This goes back to Turkey and Saudi Arabia funding Islam in Europe while they were both stanch allies to the US during the Cold War. Israel’s growing technological, economic, and dual-use military ties with China is another hedge against a declining Europe and cultivate non-Western partners that place no demands on democratic norms or European solidarity.
I predict that Israel will break away from the West and form a new geopolitical alliance with Abraham Accord countries in the Gulf, India/Hindu Silicon Valley elites, and possibly China, as Europe is turning against Israel. America can be part of this alliance but the Democratic Party, who will dominate electorally for the next few election cycles, is beginning to turn against Israel and younger Republicans are also less crazy about Israel. Thus, I view Iran economically weakening GCC/Gulf countries by closing the Strait of Hormuz as a direct sabotage of this plan that will force Israel to be nicer to Europe. This is also why Zionists feel rushed and are doing this all out power grab, such as trying to merge US intelligence with Israel.
Pedro Sanchez is certainly to blame for his open borders policies, including an amnesty for illegal aliens, but that doesn’t absolve Israel and America. While I detest Spain’s leftist government, this is fundamentally an attack on all Europeans, Europe’s territorial integrity and national security, on the behalf of Morocco, Israel, and the United States, as Ceuta is the gateway to Europe. The zionists and Trump admin have become the enemy of Spanish and European nationalists who might have otherwise sympathized with Trump and Israel and detest Sanchez as a traitor.
The only way to prevent another migrant invasion is to punish both Morocco and Israel. When Morocco threatened to annex Ceuta and Melilla in 1978, Spain’s PM Adolfo Suárez replied, “Do you know we can bomb Rabat in 48 hours.” Spain can retaliate against Morocco by backing Algeria and Western Sahara separatism and putting sanctions on trade with Morocco that can collapse their economy. More European nations need to sever diplomatic and economic ties with the Netanyahu regime and US military industrial complex. Spain has ordered two frigates from the Spanish Navy to approach Moroccan shores, to send a message to Morocco to not fuck with them again and to assure the Spanish people of their security.
The way basic American right-wingers think is that Jewish liberals are like George Soros but Netanyahu is good because he is right-wing and supports Trump, thus he stands up for the West against Islam and leftism. Netanyahu likes America to the degree we are subservient to him, but he detests Europe which is the ancestral core of the West. Not to mention that a lot of American conservatives are also very anti-European, such as Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, telling Tucker Carlson that a cooperative market involving Gulf nations and technological hubs like Israel could easily outpace Europe. While Israel’s center-left like former prime minister and opposition leader, Naftali Bennett, are on the same page as Netanyahu regarding Palestinian statehood and support for the wars in Gaza and Iran, Bennett and the Israeli Left’s diplomatic posture toward Europe is distinctly less antagonistic and more cooperative than Likud’s. Thus, Israel’s right-wing political factions and security establishment strongly support Morocco against Spain, while left-wing, centrist, and Arab factions oppose using Morocco as a tool to punish Madrid.
The political ideology of Israel’s Right is that Jews are an exceptional chosen race that are the inheritors to a great ancient civilization and that Europe represents Rome who oppressed their ancestors and destroyed their temple, and American Christian Zionists are merely useful idiot goys. The Israeli Right is made up of religious Zionist Orthodox factions, right-wing youth, Holocaust survivor families, and populist political blocs like Likud and Otzma Yehudit whose views are defined by historical grievances over the Holocaust. They view Europe as inherently antisemitic, thus view European criticism of Israel as grounded in centuries old antisemitism. They see an unbroken line connecting the Crusades, the Inquisition, and the Holocaust to modern EU funding of Palestinian NGOs and European arms embargoes. Their worldview is summarized by the Hebrew phrase, Am levadad yishkon (“A people that dwells alone”).
The right-wing Mizrahi block resents the cosmopolitan Ashkenazi elite who founded Israel, whom they view as mimicking condescending European colonial attitudes toward Middle Eastern culture. They view modern Western European critique of Israel’s defense policies as lecturing, detached, and fueled by latent European bias. They believe that Israel must stop pretending to be a European outpost and accept that its permanent destiny, economy, and security are anchored in the Middle East. You also have a growing segment of tech/business leaders focused on the Gulf states who view Europe as a declining continent that does not understand the brutal, zero-sum reality of the Middle East. They argue that alliances with strongman Arab regimes like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, or Morocco are far more reliable and valuable than a green-energy partnership with Brussels. The Likud coalition also includes secular Russians, who are ethnically mixed with Slavic gentiles. This demographic supports a hardline position against the Arabs but unlike the Orthodox and Mizrahis do not harbor anti-European or anti-gentile views.

The secular Ashkenazi Israelis (Chilonim), who are analogous to America’s WASPs, tend to have a positive view of Europe. Liberals, centrists, and labor Zionists champion strong Western-style integration with Europe. They believe Israel’s greatest asset is its status as a liberal, Western-style democracy highlighted by Israel’s participation in European sports leagues and the Eurovision song contest. For them, isolation from Europe means a slow slide to autocracy, religious fundamentalism, and economic ruin, even if they are still fundamentally zionists who dislike the anti-Israel politics in Europe. Former labor PM, Ehud Barak said in the Epstein leaks that he wanted to convert Russian Slavic gentiles to emigrate and whiten Israel to counter the Arabs, a statement Netanyahu vehemently denounced, as it insults his Mizrahi base.
Israel’s rightwing Ultra-Orthodox Religious Parties like Shas and United Torah Judaism have neglected sex trafficking from former Soviet countries because the trafficking victims were non-Jewish under Halakhic law, and are Eastern Europeans, whom they hold ethnic resentment against and the clients were disproportionately Orthodox Jews. In contrast, Israel’s secular left, such as the Meretz party and leftist politicians like Zehava Galon, have been the most aggressive in combating sex trafficking from former Soviet countries.
The early Zionists, who were primarily secular Jews from Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, viewed Israel as an extension of Europe. However, there was a shift away from Europe as a reaction to the Holocaust with a wave of Eastern European Orthodox Jewish refugees and later waves of Mizrahi Jewish refugees from the Middle East. There was still this window in the 80s when a more moderate western friendly zionism could have worked, but Yitzhak Rabin’s assassination by a rightwing Mizrahi terrorist put an end to that possibility. Israel’s demographic future is more Orthodox and Mizrahi and they will turn Israel into a Jewish version of Saudi Arabia while the secular cosmopolitan pro-Western population is increasingly marginalized and emigrates to the West.
I also dislike the anti-zionist left because they use the same arguments against Israel that delegitimize White settler colonial states like America. I am not interested in debating whether the original Jewish colonization of Palestine was morally justified, but rather my issue with Israel is their ongoing militarism in the Middle East and hostility to Europe. The irony is that Zionism might work if Israel actually were what leftists claim it is, which is a vassal state or colony of Europe, or buffer zone between Europe and the Muslim world. Israel desires to be a regional superpower and is not content being some colonial vassal of Europeans whom they fear could turn on them like in the past.
Zionists are using leftist dialectics like calling Spain a colonizer while calling themselves indigenous, which is not a good way to maintain alliances with nationalists in the West. For instance, Danny Danon’s statement that “It’s time Spain explains to the world why it still maintains colonial enclaves in Africa.” Israelis are throwing Europeans under the buss rather than acting like we are all in this together against the global south who view us all as colonizers. Zionists are bringing up old irrelevant colonial war crimes while they are currently committing war crimes paid for by Uncle Sam. For instance, Zionists accuse Spain of using chemical weapons on civilians during the Riff Wars in the 1920s while Israel is using chemical weapons on Lebanon today. It is really gross that Zionists are blaming Spain for the small handful of Moroccan deaths that Morocco was responsible for while Israel is carpet bombing civilians and blocking humanitarian assistance in Gaza as collective punishment. Israelis acting like humanitarians, calling on Spain to show restraint and claiming that Spain’s military was too cruel shows real chutzpah. It is also a tactic of American imperialists, such as during the Cold War, to attack Europeans for colonialism as a way to geopolitically counter European influence and detract from US foreign policy and corporate exploitation of Third World resources. This is why I don’t have any patience for leftists complaining about historic European colonialism.
Zionists are saying that Moroccans are simply entering Moroccan colonized lands which sounds a lot like what anti-American Mexicans say in California. The US Republican congress saying that Spain should be “negotiating” with Morocco over “the future” of Ceuta is the equivalent of some foreign country saying the US should be negotiating with Mexico over the future of California and Texas. Ceuta is like what Puerto Rico is for America so if say Cuba invaded Puerto Rico, the US military would have responded swiftly and harshly.
Ceuta has belonged to Spain since 1668 which is far longer than Israel has existed. Why doesn’t Turkey abandon its territory in Europe and return Constantinople to the Greeks? If you want to call it neocolonial fine, but there is a strong case that Europe needs some buffer against the Middle East and Africa. Thus, the French conquest of the Maghreb in the 19th Century was justified as a reaction to the Barbary pirates. This is the same argument that Israel is making, which I sort of get, but we should not be backing their greater Israel project, especially now.
The Muslims who support Morocco’s fake claims over Ceuta and Melilla the most, besides Moroccans themselves, include staunch Israeli ally the UAE, and Pakistanis in Europe who believe in a global Islamic caliphate rather than focused on Palestine. Even if plenty of pro-Palestine Sunnis support Spain out of gratitude for Spain’s support for Palestine, you have this Sunni Arab supremacist ideology among some pro-Palestine types that want a caliphate in Spain, as well as pro-Palestine leftists that view both Spain and Israel as colonizers. Morocco has been called a disgrace and traitor to Islam in online posts, including from other Muslims.
Pro Iranian academics/voices and Algerians, the latter who are also Sunni, are expressing the most support for Spain over Morocco among Muslims. Representatives of the Iranian government have claimed that the mass migration from Morocco to Spain was effectively a gift from both Israel and the United States. It is ironic that Iran’s minister of foreign affairs, Sayed Abbas Aragchi, is more pro-European than Trump and Netanyahu.
Morocco is a historic adversary of Europe going back to the Moorish invasion and Barbary Pirates, who enslaved over one million Europeans, while Iran is not unless you want to go way back to when the Persians attacked the Byzantine Empire. The Persian Safavids helped save Europe by weakening the Ottomans before the siege of Vienna. I don’t think Iran’s legitimate hatred of American Imperialism and defending themselves from US aggression is comparable to the deep seated resentment that a large segment of Israelis have over European antisemitism or Sunni Arabs’ dream of a caliphate that expands into Europe.
Morocco is in close proximity to Europe and they weaponize their diaspora in the same way that Mexico has done in the American Southwest, while Iran is distant from Europe and views their diaspora as traitors. Moroccans are one of the worst behaved, violent, and anti-White diasporas in Europe which makes it especially ironic that they are allied with US imperialism and Zionism. The big irony is that the more third wordlist, anti-imperialist factions, including Algeria, are more aligned with Spanish interests on Ceuta. Morocco has colonial ambitions toward Algeria and Western Sahara in the same way that Israel does toward Palestinian territories, Lebanon, and Syria. The Arab conquest that created Morocco erased Berber identity, so Arab identifying Moroccans are much bigger colonizers than Spaniards in North Africa.
The night of the attack I was using inflammatory rhetoric on Twitter against both Israelis and Moroccans. My tweet in which I said that I’ve been reasonable before but Israel made it clear they are an enemy of the West went viral with over 2 million views. This was because Ana Kasparian quote tweeted it, Ben Shapiro quote tweeted her, and then all these hasbara bots jumped out of the wood work. This is the first time in a very long time that I’ve had zionists attack me online because I’ve been fairly balanced and there are so many people now who are so militantly anti-Israel that I look moderate by comparison. The funny thing is I also got accused by pro-Palestine people of not caring about Gaza and only hating on Israel for supporting the siege of Ceuta.
Nioh Berg, who is a rightwing Iranian Jew based in the UK, is one of the few sane and smart prominent zionists in calling out Israelis celebrating the seige as harming the pro-Israel cause. Even if there are pro Western Jewish and Israeli zionists who speak out on behalf of Europeans, what matters is the stances and actions of those who are actually in power or have influence in America and Israel. A lot of zionists who defend Europe struggle to keep the worst people on their team in check and often end up siding with their fellow zionists over anyone on the Right who comes across as remotely antisemitic when calling out bad behavior.
-Yoav Kaufman X bio says “Israel is fighting the West’s future war”
The situation in Ceuta literally appears like the crude antisemitic White nationalist trope of Jews using Muslim migrants as “bioweapons” against Europeans. This lends credence to antisemitic conspiracy theories about Jews opening the gates of Toledo and financing the Moorish invasion of Spain, which I don’t endorse, and even if partially plausible were likely exaggerated. It is true that Jews got along better with the Moors and were persecuted during the Spanish inquisition, thus hold some grudge against Spain. Benzion Netanyahu, the father of Netanyahu, wrote a book about the Spanish Inquisition and expulsions of Jews, which likely influenced Netanyahu’s hatred of Spain. The siege of Ceuta counters the narrative that Israel is a bulwark of the West against Islam. Why are we in a war on behalf of a country who runs cover for a Moroccan op to take over a European possession?
Germany’s AFD is now blaming the US and Israel for the siege and they’ve been relatively pro-Israel, which just shows how much Trump and Israel are losing allies in Europe. Even, Auron MacIntye, who is not some groyper but rather a fairly normie MAGA figure, is noticing Israel’s role in Ceuta now. Even from a pro-Israel standpoint, the Israelis are sabotaging their own best interests and they will have few friends left because of this. There is this antisemitic trope of Jews as cunning geniuses who are masters at propaganda but the Zionists have made huge strategic blunders and are losing the propaganda wars.
It is really gross how JD Vance and Fox News were exploiting the crisis to blame on the Left when the Trump admin is at least partially responsible. The Trump admin and much of MAGA INC are also trying to cover up the Israeli angle. The Democrats are at least open about being the anti-White and open borders party but the GOP are especially traitorous in how they claim to be the guardians of the West. The Iran war and excessive support for Israel expends precious political capital that the GOP can’t spend on immigration and will help bring the Democrats back to power who will open the border again.
Whether you support Spain or Morocco is a litmus test for whether you are an ally or adversary of Europeans. Both large portions of zionists and anti-zionists are equally hostile toward Europeans. There is this bizarre overlap of neocon zionists and thirdist worldist revenge fantasies being on the same page against Spain on Ceuta. There are no absolute moralistic principles in geopolitics like being consistent in opposing colonialism but rather only friend enemy distinctions and Israel has chosen to side with the enemies of the West.

Technically Loomer is right- the long-term impact of the Ceuta incident will be to push Europe in general and Spain more specifically to the right- but it beggars my belief that actual Israeli decision-makers would be stupid enough to (A) gloat about it in public and (B) think this would somehow increase support for Israel if anyone connects the dots. They'd have to have a fucking screw loose.

Well... the current birthrates disparities alone will do that, but I guess we'll see what happens with the Haredi once Bibi is voted out. Barak was sadly correct about the Mizrahim, of course. It would be a something of an irony if Israel was ultimately destroyed by... perhaps one of the most legitimately-humanitarian cases of allowing mass immigration of asylum seekers, fifty+ years ago.
I don't know whether the extent of Israel's glee over this is exaggerated -- Spain acted against them, and they're returning the favor, just as Trump is -- and remember, everything always gets blamed on Jews (in this case Israel), and this is no exception. Do you really see an actual anti-European streak in Israel? It's bizarre because it would be contrary to the traditional perception of Israel as an outpost of Western civilization. Be mindful of convenient excuses to drag Jews and Israel into the blame game by almost everyone under the sun, as was the case with COVID, the financial crisis of 2008, 9/11, and the Charlie Kirk murder.
With that said, I agree with your general assessment that Israel is becoming non-white and hence more separated from white civilization. I would argue this is happening on a racial level. The original settlers of Israel were Europeans, but now there's a lot of racial intermarriage there, and it's becoming like Latin America -- a non-white country. I would argue that this racial component lies at the root of America's cooling love affair with Israel.
