Article Summary

This article examines how the tragic migrant crossing in Ceuta, where dozens died, was quickly reframed by politicians and media as part of a larger narrative about Islam, migration, and civilizational threat, rather than being treated as a humanitarian crisis. It argues that this shift wasn't spontaneous but served political interests, particularly those of nationalist and pro-Israel voices who link Muslim communities to security threats. The piece encourages readers to question how tragedies like this are used to push fear-based agendas.
