Emanuele Ottolenghi: There is a certain irony in the fact that a boat full of "Jews for Justice for Palestinians" set sail for Gaza from Northern Cyprus.
Northern Cyprus remains an illegally occupied territory that belongs to EU-member Cyprus, but was seized by force in 1974 by the Turkish army.
Its legal status as a fictionally independent state is only recognized by Turkey. The Turkish military forcibly removed hundreds of thousands of ethnic Greeks from that territory and settled its own population to permanently alter the ethnic balance of the area.
