Cypriot communists have issued a warning…
Snip:
The opposition in Cyprus has recently warned that Israel is establishing a “backyard” in the EU island nation, in response to increasing property acquisitions in the country by Israeli investors.
“Israeli buyers are purchasing significant land parcels and strategic economic assets,” spokesperson for the Progressive Party of Working People (AKEL), Stefanos Stefanou, said in June. “They are building Zionist schools, synagogues, gated enclaves … Israel is preparing a backyard in Cyprus, and this cannot but sound the alarm for us.”
“Israeli newspapers speak of a targeted policy of expansion of Israel in Cyprus,” he said. “We do not say that out of xenophobia or antisemitism,” he added, stressing that “Israel is occupying us.”
He noted that Israel has bought large quantities of land and is establishing gated communities, predominantly in Larnaca and Limassol. “These are not just holiday homes. These are settlements in all but name.”
They know their time in Palestine is over and they’re already setting the stage for another occupation
If I was cypriot this would put the fear of god in me. At the very least they look like they are getting a parasitic rentier class
Start building tunnels
Israeli newspapers speak of a targeted policy of expansion of Israel in Cyprus
Do we have examples of this?
Not because I disbelieve it but being able to show it would be nice.
There are several problems with touching this topic as a leftist, obviously Israel already demonstrates being a settler colony but libs are gonna get extremely uncomfortable with the idea that they might be doing it again, it will give them heebiejeebies and they will call it “leftist great replacement”. If they make that association in their minds it will set them right back to “leftists are antisemitic”.
A strong body of evidence is required demonstrating who and why it’s being done or we will all have a very hard time with this. Obviously if the parcels are large then it’s millionaires doing it, who?
Gave it a look and found these, not smoking guns but adds to the case:

https://archive.is/lyMUG “The Second Israel? Israelis Are Streaming Into Cyprus to Buy Anything in Sight” Haaretz
Couldn’t get an archive link on the last one because the site is being a shitter.
they’re literally taking land from syria now that
lost his magical shield.i’m unfamiliar with them going after cyprus or bragging about it specifically, but they’re definitely expansionist and if a lib denies that they’re not worth your time.
Isn’t this basically how it started in Palestine?
It was one of the tactics used. Buy land -> learn to work land from locals -> evict locals.
Yes, but not really, by 1948, Jews only owned a majority of the land in 2 districts near Haifa, and a plurality by a small margin in 2 other districts. The buy land policy was not successful at all, most of what they got they did due to the partition, international interference.
Get fucked accepting blood money. At least you’re getting paid for it.
Where does that logic lead? It’s not like working class people get a say when their landlords sell to colonizing firms
Yeah you’re right, I’m a salty little POS, sorry!

fuck off with your zionist bullshit! colonizers are not immigrants and equating these two is a disgusting display of your fascist ignorance. colonialism must always be fiercely opposed because it leads to deep-rooted systemic exploitation and staggering economic disparities. it ruthlessly suppresses indigenous cultures and identities, erasing centuries of history and heritage. It traps nations in economic dependency, causes global inequalities and perpetuates grievous injustices like land dispossession and systemic racism. immigrants on the other hand are usually victims of imperialism first and foremost and must be assisted as part of our basic human decency, decency that your morally removed anti-human seppo ass obviously doesnt have. also, gated communities and “investing in business” are cringe as hell anyway, though thats besides the point.
