I saw a claim linking wildfires in Patagonia to Israeli tourists, then a bigger claim that fires are being set so land can be bought cheaply. What evidence would connect those claims, rather than just put them next to each other?
What would actually prove the land-buying fire theory?

You would need evidence for each link separately: reliable findings about how specific fires started, evidence tying specific people to them, and records showing who bought affected land and when. A report that officials suspect tourists, by itself, would not establish a coordinated plan or a government role.

The leap from “someone may have started a fire” to “a country is burning land to acquire it” is enormous. Nationality alone tells you nothing about motive or coordination. Look for named, independently checkable evidence, not a chain of posts repeating the same allegation.

I’d separate the wildfire story from the wider prediction about war and wealthy people relocating. Even if one part turned out to be true, it would not automatically support the others. The land-buying claim needs its own evidence, especially buyers, dates, and a demonstrated connection to the fires.
