Shame on Cyprus for its hypocrisy over Gaza flotilla

SHAME, absolute SHAME on Cyprus’s so called political leaders for their recent stance on obstructing European MP’s and the supporters of the Gaza humanitarian flotilla. Cyprus, despite the crocodile tears of its President is now exposed to the world for its hypocrisy in supporting the totalitarian coalition military state of Israel in its suppression of the destitute Palestinian people of Gaza.
How dare Cyprus ever again appeal for world sympathy for the aggressive and totally illegal partition of its country. Surely Archbishop Makarios is now turning in his grave as the obvious deal-seeking political yes-men in Nicosia compromise the morality of freedom-loving people.
Yours, in sympathy with all true freedom-loving people.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
