The miracle that multiplied the number of Jews in Spain
Quoted excerpts
“The manipulation exercised by Israel and the international Jewish lobby goes beyond the geographical limits of the Middle East and extends its tentacles across a large part of the world map.”
“There is no doubt that the hand of the Israeli government and its embassy is present in all this; with their well-known skills, they act as a propaganda machine for their country.”
“The idea of the Jewish quarters is nothing more than an attempt to Judaise Andalusia and an exaggeration of Jewish heritage in Spain at the expense of the Arab and Muslim cultural and architectural legacy.”
Analysis
The image of tentacles extending across the world map draws on the figure of the octopus, with which Nazi propaganda depicted the Jewish conspiracy to dominate the planet. Attributing this manipulation to Israel and to an “international Jewish lobby” reactivates that myth, which the IHRA recognises as antisemitic. The octopus was the symbol with which Nazi propaganda represented the Jewish conspiracy to control the world.
