A group of angry Israelis announced on Thursday night that they will leave for Cyprus next week on a flotilla and call for an end to the Turkish occupation of half of the island and its reunification under Cypriot rule.

D'ya think they will protest loudly about Israeli's who have bought property in the TRNC? Invested over there? Spend holidays there?

Or do you think they will not mention those?

How many Israelis will be buying property now? Not very many if at all.

Yes, officially Israel does not support the practice!

[Gasman]

No idea how many will be holidaying there now! Apparently hundreds of thousands of them holidayed in Turkey in the past. I don't expect they will be going there now!

If you hope to attract them to the RoC in large numbers instead - you'd be well advised to get the Hotel Industry here to smarten up their act a bit.

I'm all for any boost to the Cyprus Tourist Industry. They don't have much other industry. The construction industry is suffering badly.

Paphitis - you like the ambiguous, but it just makes you look scheming and cheap. Step up and be clear - are you for or against RoC supporting the sending of aid ships to Gaza to break the blockade, or do you believe that Israel is correct in stoping the ships by any means necessary.

How many times do I have to tell you!

There is no official RoC policy of support.

I also believe the Israelis have a right to board the vessels given the fact that they perceive a terrorist threat and have intercepted large shipments of
arms in the past.

I didn't ask for official RoC policy - I asked are you for or against...

Seems like you are still weasling out of the question.

Regarding the second issue of using force in international waters, how does that not then fall into the questioning perceived threats by Turkish military ships in international waters. If it is OK for Israel then surely we won't hear you criticising Turkey for militarily keeping in check perceived risks on its doorstep..... Take a viewpoint and stick to it - lest you be called a lying stinking weasle...

Yes!

I only support official RoC policy and nothing else!

Yes, I am with the Israelis on this one. Yes, Israel has the right to board vessels if it feels it is in danger.

No, I do not support any restrictions on the flow og aid.

Well Paphitis thanks for your answer, I'll look for no more complaints from you on this forum if Turkey militarily pressures on international waters under the context of "if it feels it is in danger". A few knives, bullet proof red crescent vests, and night vision goggles should be sufficient reason for capital action.

I'll extrapolate, Solomou - in your pontifications about the flotilla incident - deserved what he got. Even most TCs, that are enemies of GCs in your eyes, believe that was excessive and wrong. You sicko.

Only in your Turkish Logic.

Yes, the entire TA was in danger of one young boy demonstrating on the Green Line.

Turkey even harrasses Greek boats within Greek territorial waters, nevermind the High Seas!

[Acikgoz]

Your logic applied in a broader context.

You said it, you stick to it.

Is that rabbi dude who set up a synagogue in Kyrenia still practicing and preaching up north? There were some posts on here a couple of years ago.

He converted to Muslim religion. He found Jewish religion too violent.

@ Simon

You are wrong.

It is not NATOs responsibility to defend Australia. We have our own ANZUS Treaty, but are not as reliant on the US as Europe is.

Also, Australia has invested heavily in Nuclear Research. Many billions in fact, and many ADF have died. We are always designing delivery systems and looking for an F-111 replacement. Make your own mind up.

The NPT will not stop anything when push comes to shove.

Paphitis, if Australia was under serious attack (including nuclear) what do you think NATO or ANZUS (take your pick, it's all about the US at the end of the day) would do? Let's use a bit of common sense. Australia has invested in nuclear research, but so have many countries, it's ridiculous to assume that because of this Australia has nuclear weapons. I can think of several countries off the top of my head that have conducted extensive nuclear research, including Brazil, South Africa, Canada and Libya. Are you saying it is likely all these countries have nuclear weapons as well? Nuclear material has many other uses other than for weapons, and delivery systems do not have to have nuclear warheads on them. Further, the NNPT is very relevant here. The only country that has withdrawn from it is North Korea, and the only country apparently in breach is Iran. Is that the type of company Australia intends to keep in the future? Iran and North Korea?
