You talk about morals and human rights and violations and you generally ride the high cloud of morality or at least you want us to believe so. But, you mustn't forget that you were found out. Measured and weighed and double standards is your game. The fact is you can never be trusted and given half a chance you will revert to your old self. Remember the story with the Palestinians, with whom you compared us with. In no time at all and before the ink had time to dry, you switched allegiance and suddenly you started seeing things form the Israeli perspective. You Piratis have lost all credibility and one can never take for granted what you say.
You are the hypocrite and you are the one who is using double standards and I am now going to prove it (yet again).
My position was always based on principles and it is unchanged.
I support the liberation of the occupied part of Cyprus and
in the same way I support the liberation of the occupied Palestinian lands. Where are the double standards?
I recognize the right of Palestinians to collaborate with Turkey if they believe that this will help them solve their problem and
in the same way I recognize the right of Cyprus to collaborate with Israel if we believe that this will help solve our problem. Where are the double standards?
Obviously the Palestinians care far more for Palestine than they care for Cyprus, and similarly we obviously care more about Cyprus than we care for Palestine. After all it is the Palestinians who first accepted help from Turkey and were then out in the streets flying the Turkish flags. Or did you forget about this?
So no hypocrisy or double standards from me. But now let me point the obvious double standards and hypocrisy coming from you:
You are trying to excuse the Turkish occupation of Cyprus by blaming the Greek Cypriots because a few of us reacted to the Turkish violent aggression against us and responded with violence. But you do
not do the same when it comes to the Palestinians. The Palestinians responded
FAR more violently than we ever did, and they continue to respond with violence, which includes suicide bombers, taking hostages, launching missiles in Israeli cities etc etc. And yet you never said that it is the Palestinians, and not the Israelis, who are to be blamed for the problem there, like you do in the case of Cyprus.
Double standardsSo you have now yet again been shown to be hypocrite who employees double standards.
On the other hand my principles remain unchanged. I support a free Palestinian state as I always did, and at the same time I support the interests of my our country (not on the expense of any other) as I always did. Our collaboration with Israel is welcomed, just like the Palestinians would welcome a collaboration with Turkey, but this doesn't make me forget the wrong doings of Israel. Neither I am one of those who will go around flying the Israeli flag, since I know that Israel's interest in Cyprus is also just for serving their own interests at this time, and there is nothing to say that in a few years they will not be best friends with Turkey again.
And by the way, your double standards and hypocrisy are not exhausted only in the comparison between Cyprus and Palestine. You employee double standards and hypocrisy
all the time. Another one of your double standards was exposed earlier in this thread when Wyoming pointed out how you always blame the whole GC community for the actions of a few GCs (e.g. EOKA B), but you do not blame the whole TC community for the actions of a few TCs (e.g. TMT).
I would have said that you lost all credibility, but you didn’t have any to begin with. I doubt you even make an effort to be credible. All you care about is to say things that sound nice to your Turkish friends. You tell them the baseless nonsense that they want to hear so they will like you. You are really pathetic!
