Epstein, Africa, and Zionist Intelligence Operations, Part 1

This calculated endangerment of Jewish children formed an integral part of the Zionist regime’s strategy. Moroccan authorities, especially after independence in 1956, faced growing suspicion toward Jewish institutions precisely because of such covert militarisation.

The pattern is unmistakable. Zionist propaganda routinely accuses Palestinians of using human shields, yet here stands documented evidence of the settler colony deliberately placing children between its operatives and potential discovery. Every accusation is a confession.

The 1954 Casablanca kindergarten operation lays bare a foundational tactic of the Zionist entity: weaponising vulnerability to advance colonial aims. The Misgeret were active across the whole of North Africa, and we will revisit their activities in Part 2 of this investigation.

Mossad-Morocco Intelligence Ties and Covert Operations

This collaboration between Morocco and the Zionist entity represents a stark example of anti-imperialist betrayal, where an Arab nation aligned itself with a settler-colonial regime built on the dispossession of Palestinians, all while suppressing its own people’s aspirations for genuine sovereignty. The Mossad’s infiltration of Morocco began in earnest during the late 1950s and early 1960s, a period marked by Morocco’s transition from French colonial rule to nominal independence under King Mohammed V, and later his son, Hassan II. Far from fostering true liberation, this era saw the Zionist intelligence agency embed itself deeply into Moroccan state structures, aiding in the creation and bolstering of repressive apparatuses that served both Zionist expansionism and Moroccan authoritarianism.

The Mossad’s role in establishing and supporting Moroccan intelligence groups was multifaceted and insidious. In the early 1960s, under the direction of figures like Isser Harel, the Mossad provided training and technology to Morocco’s nascent security services, including the Directorate of Territorial Surveillance (DST) and the General Directorate for Studies and Documentation (DGED). This assistance was not altruistic; it was a quid pro quo. In exchange, King Hassan II permitted the Mossad to set up a permanent station in Morocco, allowing Zionist agents to operate freely on Moroccan soil. This base facilitated espionage against other Arab nations, including wiretapping and surveillance during key summits, such as the 1965 Arab League meeting in Casablanca, where Mossad bugs captured critical discussions that contributed to Israel’s preemptive strikes in the 1967 Six-Day War. Such actions underscore how Zionist imperialism co-opted Moroccan resources to undermine broader Arab anti-colonial struggles, turning Morocco into a proxy for Western and Zionist interests in North Africa.

Mossad helped build Morocco’s intelligence apparatus from the ground up, supplying organisational expertise and operational know-how in exchange for intelligence cooperation. King Hassan II authorised Mossad’s permanent presence on Moroccan territory, which enabled systematic monitoring of Arab League activities. The partnership included joint operations against perceived mutual threats, further entrenching Zionist influence in North African security structures.

Operation Mural: Mossad’s Clandestine Exfiltration of Moroccan Jewish Children

A particularly egregious chapter in this history involves the Mossad’s orchestration of clandestine operations to exfiltrate Moroccan Jewish children, often framed as ‘rescue’ missions, but amounting to coercive migration that disrupted communities and served Zionist demographic goals. One such operation, known as Operation Mural, was overseen by David Littman and his wife Gisèle Littman (better known by her pseudonym Bat Ye’or, the infamous Islamophobic writer whose works propagate the ‘Eurabia’ conspiracy theory, demonising Muslim immigration to Europe as a threat to Western civilisation). In 1961, the Littmans, posing as Christians working for a Swiss NGO in Casablanca, facilitated the secret departure of 530 Jewish children to Israel under the guise of summer holidays in Switzerland. This was not voluntary emigration but rather a covert Mossad-directed effort, exploiting Morocco’s post-independence restrictions on Jewish exit to portray the kingdom as hostile, thereby justifying Zionist intervention.

The operation nearly unravelled when Moroccan police intercepted a group of children at the airport, suspecting foul play. However, Mossad’s embedded influence in Moroccan intelligence circles ensured intervention. High-level Moroccan officials, possibly bribed or coerced through existing alliances, cleared the children’s exit, allowing the mission to proceed. This incident highlights the Mossad’s manipulation of Moroccan sovereignty, using intelligence leverage to override local law enforcement for Zionist ends. Bat Ye’or’s later writings conveniently omit her role in these operations, instead weaponizing them to fuel anti-Muslim narratives that align with Zionist propaganda.

Operation Mural succeeded in evacuating hundreds of children despite Moroccan restrictions. David Littman coordinated the 1961 effort with Mossad backing. The children were presented as participants in a holiday program to evade detection.

The Egoz Tragedy: Human Cost of Zionist Demographic Engineering

Further illustrating the human cost of these Zionist-Moroccan entanglements is the tragic fate of the Egoz ship in January 1961. The Egoz (originally Pisces), a dilapidated vessel leased by the Mossad, was part of a series of clandestine voyages smuggling Moroccan Jews to Gibraltar en route to Israel. On its 13th trip, carrying 44 passengers — mostly families with children — the ship sank in stormy seas off the Moroccan coast, drowning all aboard except for three crew members. This disaster, occurring amid Morocco’s emigration ban, exposed the perilous risks imposed on vulnerable communities by Zionist urgency to populate the settler state. The sinking prompted international outcry, pressuring King Hassan II to relax restrictions, leading to Operation Yachin (1961-1964), which saw over 90,000 Moroccan Jews transported to Israel — often under duress, with families separated and assets confiscated. These operations were not humanitarian; they were demographic engineering, stripping Morocco of its Jewish population to bolster Israel’s colonial project while weakening Arab solidarity.

The Egoz sank on 10 January 1961, killing 44 people, including many children. The vessel was operated by Mossad for illegal immigration purposes. The disaster accelerated negotiations for larger-scale emigration. Operation Yachin followed and moved tens of thousands of Moroccan Jews to Israel.

Conclusions

This history of Mossad-Morocco ties exemplifies Zionist imperialism’s global reach, co-opting post-colonial states through intelligence pacts that perpetuate division and repression. By aiding Morocco’s security apparatus, the Zionists ensured a compliant ally that spied on fellow Arabs, suppressed dissent (including the 1965 assassination of opposition leader Mehdi Ben Barka, allegedly with Mossad involvement), and normalised relations in 2020 under the Abraham Accords, betraying Palestinian liberation. These alliances are tools of domination, where Zionist penetration of African nations like Morocco, Côte d’Ivoire and others, advance a neocolonial agenda, eroding sovereignty and fuelling conflict. The aim, it would appear, is to extend Zionist power and control in pursuit, so I argue, of a kind of Pax Judaica which is rapidly replacing Pax Americana. 

In recent years, however, the Zionists have been joined in their imperial ambitions by a vassal state: the United Arab Emirates. The UAE has enabled the Zionist state to vastly extend the range of its reach. Full details will be in Part 2 of this two-part series.
