The radical right's anti-Zionist paradox: Israel or Sarracin?

The same forum that rails against the Muslim invasion devotes more energy to demonizing Israel. The contradiction is no small matter: while one faction insists that Zionism is the root of all evil — including Sarracinic immigration — another holds that the real enemy is in the mosques, not the synagogues. Far from being resolved, the debate grows more bitter in mutual accusations that reveal the internal fractures of Spain's national populism.

The specter of the Jewish conspiracy

A majority current in the discussion holds that Israel and Zionist elites are the true architects of Europe's Sarracinization. According to this thesis, the goal would not be the Muslim invasion per se, but the destruction of European nations through ethnic chaos, while Israel consolidates itself as an ethnostate. Surnames such as Rothschild, Soros or Thiel are mentioned as part of a global elite that instrumentalizes immigration to weaken nation states. Some participants go as far as describing Zionism as "the Jewish version of Nancy", based on the "blood and soil" principle of the German Völkisch movement.

This position rests on a radical critique of the State of Israel, which it accuses of genocide, apartheid and ethnic cleansing, and extends guilt to all Jews who support Zionism. The expulsion of Jews and Jovenlandeses by the Catholic Monarchs is mentioned as a historical precedent that should be repeated.

The counterargument: the Moor is at the gate

Against that current, another faction — a minority but equally belligerent one — accuses the anti-Zionists of being obsessed with a distant enemy while ignoring the tangible threat: the growth of the Muslim population in Spain and Europe. For them, the priority should be to "exterminate the Moor" before wasting time on Jewish conspiracies. They consider anti-Zionism a useful distraction for the left, and blaming Israel for immigration an excuse not to act against Sarracin.

Some point out that Israel itself has Muslim citizens and that its current leaders do not align with Soros, so the theory of a unified Jewish conspiracy lacks any basis. This position, however, does not deny the existence of global elites that favor immigration, but places them on a transversal plane, not exclusively Jewish.

The unresolved question

The debate leaves an uncomfortable question: if the Spanish radical right considers Israel and Zionism enemies, why do parties like Vox maintain alliances with the Israeli government? The most widespread answer is that Vox is an instrument of Zionism, and that its anti-immigration rhetoric is a cover. Others, however, believe it is a necessary evil to stop the left. The rift between anti-Zionism and anti-Sarracinism remains open, with neither current managing to prevail.
