ISRAEL: CYPRUS'S NEW FRIEND ?

Postby miltiades » Fri Aug 09, 2013 7:57 am

When I first joined the CYF, I was astounded to say the least at the antipathy and resentment held by some fellow Cypriots in regards to Israel.

I entered into many tempestuous debates with those that saw I Israel as Cyprus's adversary, reiterating time and time again that Cyprus needs powerful and influential allies and not ineffectual connections that could offer Cyprus nothing politically or financially.

I also stated that for the interests of Cyprus I would go to bed with the devil, any devil, and was severely rebuked by some whose love of nations.futile to Cyprus's interests, blinded their logic.

I'm extremely happy to see that at long last Cyprus is making friends with Israel and alliances concerning financial as well as strategic interests.

On one occasion, some years back, armed with a spray can , I erased an offensive graffiti on a wall in a busy Limassol road
that some moron had written "F..K ISRAEL, F..K TURKEY, F..K THE USA.

Long and prosperous may this new found friendship last.

There's a lot of sense in what you say Milti, needs must, but who do you think taught Turkey that you could (if you were best mates with the Yanks) take someone else's land and re-populated it with your own people. Even arsehole Cameron was singing Turkey's praises a few days ago when he should have been giving them a bollocking for illegally colonising Cyprus.

I understand what you say Gerry.
Frankly I'm ONLY concerned with what its good for Cyprus.

There are myriads of problems the world over, in this instance my focus is " whats best for Cyprus."

I agree with Miltiades on this. A strategic alliance with Israel and therefore the US is the best counterweight Cyprus can wish for to confront Turkish designs on the island. It's a very significant development especially regarding the island's natural resources which we need a military partnership with Israel to defend.

The estrangement of Israel and Turkey coinciding with the discovery of gas reserves couldn't have come at a better time for us.

So I say shalom to our Israeli friends. May we prosper together!

This is the 3rd time you’ve started a pointless thread like this!

You are trying to pass yourself off as a “clever visionary” when in actual fact you were in support of cruel Israel foreign policy against Palestinians/Lebanese and wrote some despicable things about children who were suffering.

Here’s one such thread where you clearly showed what you’re really all about:

It is pointless entering into any fruitful debate with you GR, you are on record as an Israeli hater and a Hamas lover.
So get lost Plonker, you have not got a clue !!

It is a lot of playground nonsense to call them our "friends". Sure, they were never our enemies. We've lived side-by-side with the people for thousands of years. Certainly Cyprus have done them a lot of favours in the past.

The most we can say is that we have a good working relationship with the Israelis. It's business ....not playtime, Milty mou!

I will NEVER allow you to twist the facts that your support of (US/Israeli) war crimes against humanity, were for the good of Cyprus and that you were right all along that we should’ve supported such evil acts!

Your attempts to twist the facts and try to capitalize on it today just because Israel and Cyprus have some business agreements in progress are further evidence of your evil personality.

As we say in Cyprus: “O nouros dou shillou en ishionni!”

The point that I was making is that Israel was vilified by so many plonkers, not least the biggest one GR who continually and incessantly picked and pasted anything that showed I srael and America in a bad light.

The interests of Cyprus are not with Hamas, Al Qaeda, and other minions. Our interests are best served by having powerful friends, Israel is one such ALONG WITH THE usa.

My fellow Cypriots, wake up, focus entirely on the interests of our island for the sake of our future generations.
We have nothing to gain and much to lose by creating alliances with anti West nations.
Don't listen to the idiotic outbursts of the GRarses of this world, they are impotent.
