Israeli men aged 21 and 22 have been arrested by police in Cyprus for attempted murder. One of the men allegedly stabbed a Cypriot man — as well as two security guards who tried to stop the attack. The attempted murders happened in Ayia Napa, leaving one of the guards in critical condition after emergency surgery.
When police arrived to intervene, the attacker spewed insults at them. Both Israelis had to be subdued, leaving one injured from a blow to the head.
UK news blackout when it concerns Israeli crimes
No UK media or politicians appear to have mentioned the attack. Reports of violent and arrogant behaviour from Israelis in other countries abound — and not just from Israel’s notorious football thugs. Israel’s attempts to buy up land and properties in Cyprus as a bolthole to flee to when Israel’s victims retaliate have also raised tensions.
Regardless of context, there is simply no way UK media and politicians would ignore an attack on Israelis the same way they have this and other attacks by Israelis.
