Jewish Cyprus?

This was suggested in another thread.

WI Zionists started buying farms in Cyprus and moving poor Jewish refugees to work them?

POD is roughly the same as Theodor Hertzl's (sp?) Zionists starting in the late 1800s, gaining steam during the early 20th century, but only becoming a stampede after WW2.

How would the Great Powers convince Greece and Turkey to relinquish control of the island after Jews out-numbered Greeks and Turks?
 
Well the island was British territory from 1878. It was only after Britain butter out that the Turks and Greeks got back involved.
 
Turks and Greeks take a time out from killing each other and unite against the common enemy so that one day they can go back to killing each other.

The Jewish settlers may think, well this sucks, at least when we were in Palestine we had people trying to kill us in the Holy Land. Let's go there so at least our suffering has some sort of religious purpose behind it.

Palestine was the place Jews wanted to be. Cyprus means nothing to them, it's just another island that was never a Jewish homeland. Britain gains nothing from giving Cyprus to the Jews either.
