A major anti-Muslim propaganda campaign targeting Britain has been traced back to Israel, according to a new investigation by academics Marc Owen Jones and Sohan Dsouza. The campaign, which peaked before the UK's 2024 general election and the subsequent anti-Muslim riots, involved thousands of paid advertisements warning of an Islamic takeover of the country, supposedly orchestrated by Qatar.
Over the course of 2024 to 2026, the researchers recorded more than 154 million exposures to the campaign's British-targeted material. The first wave of British advertising began running in the months leading up to the 2024 general election, with the ads continuing through the winter and spring in the run-up to the riots that followed the Southport murders.
