At the 38th EDON Festival in Nicosia, Cyprus, Arab Barghouthi was invited to speak on stage by the youth wing of AKEL, a longstanding organisation that stands in solidarity with Palestine. He called for international action to secure the release of his father, Marwan Barghouti.

"My Father Marwan Barghouti represents something
that no oppressor can imprison. Hope that Palestinian
children grow up in peace. Hope for freedom and that
freedom is possible." - Arab Bargouthi

Free Marwan, Free Palestine

Once again, the government of the Republic of Cyprus has deliberately misled the public, choosing to protect the interests of a foreign military power and shield themselves from scrutinity and accountability.

At a time when climate change is making wildfires more frequent, more intense, and increasingly difficult to contain, the government's actions exposes the lengths they will go to to support colonial powers at the expensive of the people's livelihood.

STATEMENT BY ANARCHIST INITIATIVE FOR RESISTANCE TO ZIONISM:

"In the dawn of Friday 31/07 we carried out an artistic intervention at the abomination-billboard on the highway of Larnaca-Limassol. Said billboard, of the sellout and now at the target company Niche Billboard, was part of the electoral campaign of the war criminal Gadi Eisenkot, written in hebrew to target israeli tourists and residents of our island. Eisenkot, despite being a supposed opposition power to the genocidal demon Netanyahu, remains a force of evil that needs to be erased from the face of the earth, since not only did he serve as chief of staff to the occupational military forces, he is also the architect of the terrorist ‘dahiye doctrine’, a military system of war promoting disproportionate violence and complete destruction.As individuals with conscience, with solidarity to our neighbouring and tortured peoples of Palestine and Lebanon, and with an unwavering refusal to let the further normalisation of zionazi propaganda in our island, we decided to send a clear response. With our ropes, our paints, our hatred and our solidarity, we painted over the advertising monstrosity with the colours of the Palestinian flag that now constitute an international symbol of the oppressed.

Although the covering of that revolting ugliness with something more beautiful and the economic cost to Niche billboards can be seen by themselves as ‘cause for celebration’, the quintessential purpose of our action was less for its material imprint and more so for its statement: to the zionist auspicious colonisers, as well as their Cypriot politicians and capitalist partners, we say clearly, we will resist your every step. This land and this soil belongs to its cats and moufflons, to its carob trees and cedars, to the workers and people that watches over them, not to your parasitic and ecocidal clan. To the Cypriot society we want to promote a message of hopeful resistance in this geopolitical climate of despair.

While the government of the Republic of Cyprus has taken no position as 'I$raeli' politicians have been allowed to normalise aparthe_d and fund electoral propaganda on the island, the people have chosen not to remain silent.

They have stepped forward to take direct action and denounce this complicity and to make it clear that the people of Cyprus reject the whitewashing of war criminals and will not succumb to their propaganda.

It is up to all of us to continue exposing these attempts at normalisation, to stand in solidarity with those resisting oppression, and to ensure that Cyprus is never used as a platform to legitimise injustice.
