Palestine Tet – 92 – Spying on Gaza, Bombing Yemen: Colonial British Base Angers Cypriots

Nicosia, Cyprus – January 1987. At an “anti-U.S. base rally” – in attendance (I was told) – 200,000. As I recall, the rally was outside the big base at Akrotiri. I was one of the speakers. The rally was organized by the same Cypriot Peace Council that is organizing protests against Cyprus’s involvement in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.  (R. Prince/Photo)

As the Gaza spreads embracing Egypt Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen into its cauldron, nearby Cyprus is getting sucked in as well against its will.

Cyprus is being drawn into the Middle East war malstrom against its will and its citizens are opposed to their role as a military staging and intelligence gathering station for NATO.

185 miles offshore from Lebanon and Israel, it is the home of major British and American airbases and communication spying centers for the Middle East.

Watch this video “Spying on Gaza: Bombing Yemen” .

It alleges intensive British (and American) military activity heading east (ie, towards the Eastern Mediterranean coast of Lebanon ande and Israel) since October 7.

Cyprus is thus being used as an accessory to Israel’s genocide in Gaza and this without the permission and/or knowledge of the Cypriot government. As the war continues and intensifies, Israelis are flocking to Cyprus in droves.

The Second Israel? Israelis Are Streaming Into Cyprus to Buy Anything in Sight
