MK Gadi Eisenkot's new outdoor campaign in Cyprus features the slogan 'We don't give up on any voice,' and has drawn criticism from anti-Semitic YouTuber Fidias Panayiotou, according to the source.
MK Gadi Eisenkot has launched a new outdoor advertising campaign in Cyprus featuring the slogan "We don't give up on any voice," according to the source. The campaign drew criticism from YouTuber Fidias Panayiotou, who questioned why Israeli tourists are in Cyprus. The source described Panayiotou as anti-Semitic. The new campaign follows Eisenkot's earlier billboard campaign in Cyprus tourist areas, which The Zioneer reported on Sunday, July 26, at 19:30 Jerusalem.
Earlier reporting by The Zioneer on Sunday, July 26, at 19:30 Jerusalem detailed that Eisenkot's billboards had been placed in areas of Cyprus where Israeli tourists congregate, bearing the message "Israelis, enjoy! You deserve it." Initial reports that same evening described local anger over a perceived "breach of sovereignty." N12 journalist Dafna Liel confirmed the billboards' locations and message. The campaign was identified as part of Eisenkot's election efforts.
As The Zioneer previously reported, the earlier billboard campaign drew local criticism. The Zioneer also reported on a separate outdoor campaign by the Yesh! party in Cyprus, which sparked anti-Semitic reactions. The broader context includes anti-Israeli sentiment on the island; earlier this month, The Zioneer reported that Israelis were attacked in Cyprus, though details remained scarce.
The new campaign's exact locations, scale, and duration were not detailed in the report. It is unclear whether this represents a continuation of the previous billboard campaign or a separate initiative.
