Pegasus, the real cause of the antisemitic campaign instigated by Pedro Sánchez

Last week we saw here the consequences for Spain of Morocco's spying on Pedro Sánchez.

Morocco's spying on Sánchez and the serious implications it has for Spain
Sánchez equates Israel, an attacked country, with Russia but doesn't accuse Putin of 'genocide'

Sánchez knew that Morocco was responsible for spying on his mobile phone....

As you may recall, last Thursday The Objective published a detailed account of the day and manner in which Moroccan intelligence services spied on Sánchez's mobile phone. This news shed light on the policy of subservience that Sánchez has since pursued towards Morocco, seriously compromising Spain's interests and our national security.

This Tuesday, The Objective sheds light on other consequences of this espionage: those related to Israel. The Pegasus software used by Morocco is manufactured by an Israeli company. The aforementioned online newspaper reveals that Sánchez secretly sent several delegations to Israel to learn the extent of the Moroccan espionage (recall that the Spanish government took a year to acknowledge this information theft). The manufacturing company could only confirm that the espionage was carried out by Morocco, so the Spanish government knew who had stolen the information.

... but he directed his anger against Israel, not Morocco

According to The Objective, the Sánchez government did not believe the Israeli explanations: "The Israeli response was met with great irritation by Sánchez's team and the president himself: they told him they did not know what material had been stolen and denied having any copies of that information, a version that Moncloa did not believe." This publication adds: "Highly reliable sources link that situation to certain decisions that the Sánchez administration would make years later regarding Israel, practically leading to the severing of diplomatic relations."

In the end, beyond his political and ideological pretexts, everything Sánchez does is marked by the priority he gives to his personal interests, including his relationship as Prime Minister with other countries. In the case of the Jewish state, Sánchez has falsely accused Israel of "genocide" (an accusation he has never made against Putin's Russia for its massacres in Ukraine), ordered an arms embargo against Israel (which has ended harming the Spanish Armed Forces, causing them to lose access to important weapons systems) and even lamented not having "nuclear bombs" to use against that country, in a scandalous statement that revealed the degree of disturbance of the socialist leader.

His irate reaction against Israel contrasts sharply with his docility towards Morocco, the country responsible for the espionage, which should be the one to draw Sánchez's ire, since it is Morocco, not Israel, that stole the information and possesses it. The Socialist leader's reaction is as irrational as if, faced with a hit-and-run committed with a Chrysler, Sánchez were to order reprisals against the United States (the car's manufacturer) instead of the driver.

A reaction that exposes Sánchez's antisemitism

This irrationality exposes a prejudice very common on the Spanish left, one that Sánchez now displays without any shame: antisemitism. If Israel were not a Jewish state, it would not have suffered reprisals like those Sánchez has launched against it. This is not mere speculation. After the spying against him, Sánchez had reasons to order reprisals against Morocco, but he did not (on the contrary: everything indicates that he yielded to Moroccan blackmail to prevent the stolen information from being made public). Furthermore, in September 2024, the Nicolás Maduro dictatorship kidnapped Spanish citizens without receiving any kind of reprisal from Sánchez, whose party, the PSOE, voted against demanding that dictator end the repression in Venezuela three months later.

The antisemitic campaign instigated by Sánchez as retaliation

Sánchez cares about the Palestinians as little as he did when they were victims of Hamas's crimes, without the Socialist leader saying a word. Pegasus is the real cause of his antisemitic campaign against Israel, a reprisal for an information theft committed by Morocco, a theft that only benefited that African country and in which the stolen information is in Rabat, not in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. Sánchez once again put his personal interests before those of Spain, instigating a wave of antisemitism with episodes as serious as the violent boycott instigated by the government against La Vuelta in Madrid, for having accepted an Israeli team, and which just yesterday led to a new antisemitic incident in the Reina Sofía Museum, which is under the Ministry of Culture.
