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.”

    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.
