Disinfo: Fascist-oriented regimes in Latin America invite Israelis to provide advice on depopulating indigenous peoples

Summary

Fascist-oriented regimes in Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, Paraguay, Guatemala, and Chile, eager to displace indigenous peoples, have invited the Israelis back to their nations to provide advice on depopulating indigenous regions as systematically as Israel has done to the Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Disproof

A recurring conspiracy theory, loaded with anti-Semitic sentiment. There is no evidence to support the claim that such an invitation was ever made.

Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages.

The NATO puppet regime in Kyiv acts only in the interest of NATO, not in the interests of Ukraine

The NATO puppets in charge of Ukraine do not act in the interests of Ukraine, but in the interests of NATO, and, until that changes, peace for the Donbass remains a distant hope.

Disproof

Recurrent pro-Kremlin narrative, challenging Ukrainian statehood. For example, pro-Kremlin media has claimed that Ukraine has become a vassal of Germany and Ukraine is under US control. Ukraine is a sovereign state. Neither the US nor NATO controls Ukraine. Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity continue to be violated by acts of aggression by the Russian armed forces since February 2014.  

Western intelligence may be behind the killing of the White Helmets’ founder

The Russian Foreign Ministry pointed out that a number of British and American media published articles last November stating that Russia was the first to benefit from the death of Le Mesurier, while there were other voices suggesting the possibility that Western intelligence services are behind the killing of the founder of the White Helmets.

The ministry confirmed that Russia was interested in keeping Le Mesurier alive and in good health so that he could reveal the truth about the activities of the White Helmets, but that external parties supervising these activities were not in favour.

Disproof

An example of one of many disinformation and propagandistic claims about the White Helmets. Pro-Kremlin media routinely accuse the White Helmets of “working for terrorists” and being the making of Western intelligence services. No evidence is given to support these claims.

The "White Helmets" movement originated in Syria in 2012. The organisation - which is made up of 3,400 volunteers including teachers, engineers, tailors and firefighters - states that it has no affiliation to any political or military actor and is committed to render services to anyone in need. Volunteers save people from the rubble after bombings, despite the danger of dying themselves as a result of repeated airstrikes.

Russophobic Baltic States are beggars and vassals of the West

Today the Baltic states are trying to erase the memory of the rich Soviet heritage. Soviet power built advanced plants, hydroelectric power stations, ports, and housing in the Baltic states. The well-being was taken for granted, but today it is mainly presented as proof of Soviet “occupation”. With the collapse of the Soviet Union the prosperity of the Baltic States ended. The handouts from Brussels turned the Baltic States into beggars and vassals of the West, with ruined economy, protracted financial crises and massive flight of people abroad. Today the Baltic Russophobes are only capable of “containing Russia”. The Baltic States turned Russophobia into their most demanded product in the West.

Disproof
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative denying the Soviet occupation of the Baltic States, also consistent with disinformation narratives about socio-economic degradation in the Baltic States as opposed to their alleged well-being under the USSR, lost sovereignty / external control, and ubiquitous Russophobia. The economic situation of all three Baltic States is strong and demonstrates some of the leading economic growth indicators in the EU. The dynamics over the past years are available here.

Read our past stories about Russophobia in the Baltic states and elsewhere The “Russophobia” Myth: Appealing to the Lowest Feelings and see similar disinformation cases alleging that Russophobia is the main activity of the Latvian state, that Latvia is a US vassal state, that Russophobic Lithuania plans to tear Belarus away from Russia by dragging it into the Western energy network, the Baltic states have lost industry, agriculture, and population as a result of EU membership, and that Lithuania is temporarily NATO-occupied territory ruled by non-Lithuanians.
