Cyprus govt arrests anti-genocide activists for flying Palestine flag over Israeli team’s match – SKWAWKBOX

Protection of Israel from scrutiny continues

The Cyprus government has aligned itself with the genocidal Israeli state by arresting three activists who flew the Palestine flag above the new Limassol stadium during a match tonight between Pafos FC and Maccabi Tel Aviv that should have never taken place:

Maccabi Tel Aviv’s deeply racist fan base hit the headlines late last year when they terrorised the city of Amsterdam, then played the victims with the collusion of Dutch and European governments and media.

Maccabi supporters are notorious for their racist chants – and the impunity they enjoy as they rampage during away games.
