The video shows someone in the Moroccan gendarmerie unloading migrants from a truck. We don’t know any context other than that: where and when was the video taken, was this officer trafficking migrants or did they stop a truck they suspected was trafficking people and forced them to unload? If you’re dumping migrants over a sea border, dumping them in the middle of a road doesn’t seem very sensible. And IIRC that officer never shows his face, so identification will be next to impossible (could even be a staged video if you want to go the conspiracy route, to spur further division between Spain and Morocco).
Morocco also hasn’t seemed very keen on exploiting the situation. Initial inaction can clearly be explained as surprise and requiring some mobilisation. Plus, Morocco cooperated once it kicked off, taking back everyone.
That Israel seeks to exploit this happening seems obvious. But even that video clearly states at the end that none of what was discussed is evidence of Israeli involvement.
To be clear, I’m all fine with speculating, and I think it’s valuable to discuss this sort of stuff. And I don’t discount the possibility that Israel is involved after all. But I do take issue with it being presented as established fact, in a way that conveniently amplifies far-right talking points, with some added antisemitism on top. We should be singing Sanchez’s praises for sending all of these migrants back successfully, defending the border (unless you’re of the “workers of the world should know no borders” kind ofc, that’s also valid), rather than entertaining conspiracy theories with no evidence.
Morocco is not a dictatorship lol.

That’s being done by an elected government. The opposition you’re referring to here is the wesrern Sahara specifically.
