		<description>For recent Jewish life in Greece see

http://abravanel.wordpress.com/2010/06/13/attacks-on-jews-gaza/#comment-138

Desecration of cemeteries, Holocaust memorials and other attacks on Jews.

By the way, I found no evidence that Pissias is actually a Professor anywhere -- judging from what he says that is not the only LIE.

Many Greeks collaborated with the Nazis including the Royal Guard
-- Tsoliades. After the liberation the collaborators (called &quot;nationalists&quot;) fought a long bloody civil war with those (called &quot;communists&quot;) who resisted the Nazis.</description>

		<description>Unfortunately it looks like the &#039;peace activists&#039; got exactly what they wanted by attacking the Israeli soldiers as soon as they boarded. The reporting on this is going to be woeful. 100s of activists attempt to stab, shoot and lynch Israeli soldiers and yet we all know that this will be a &#039;massacre&#039; or &#039;murder&#039;. So depressing...</description>

		<description>DREAMS

My dream is seeing the one-time far-left activist Catherine Ashton in the docks in &quot;s&#039;Gravenhague&quot; (The Hague) for providing Hamas and their ilk with aid, abettment and moral support - breach of international law! Duh!</description>

		<description>According to the activist Audrey Bomse, it was not a humanitarian mission but an attempt to break the blockade on Gaza. And she did not expect any violence. Now how delusional is all that?

Oh, I nearly forgot, the BBC refers to them as PEACE activists!

		<description>Joshua said, &quot;Jews are often not perceived as true Greeks, although many families have lived there since the 15th century&quot;. 

Mostly true. The overwhelming majority of Greek Jews, the Sephardim, have (or had) roots going back to the 15th century when they fled Spain. But the Romaniotes go back to earlier Byzantine times; I have met a few in New York.</description>

		<description>A &quot;story&quot; concerning the Guardian from the 90s (CIF Watch)
I thought others may be interested.
Unbelievable! (Almost...)

&quot;Well, well, well. Look what else turned up in the JC Archives.
The issue of 6 September 1996 carries a report of the Advertising Standards Authority’s ruling that a half-page advertisement which had netted The Guardian (under Rustbucket’s editorship) a cool £8000 “went beyond the bounds of reasonable free speech and was likely to cause serious offence to some readers”. The advertisement in question had been referred to the Authority by David Hunt, a Tory MP who chaired the Inter-Parliamentary Council against Anti-Semitism and complained aboout the ad’s “classic anti-Semitic propaganda” (I’m using the hyphen because I’m quoting). The offensive half-page advert had appeared in the paper in May that year, during the Haj pilgrimage (the report doesn’t say what organistion placed the advert). The advert contained the following endearing sentiments by Ayatollah ul-Udhma Khameini:
- an attack on “bloodthirsty Zionists”
- describing Zionists as “a malignant cancerous tumour” who are “anti-human” and control the western media [Evidently not Rustbucket&#039;s section of it, eh?!]
- describing Israel as a “usurper regime” in the “heart of the Islamic region”.
The Authority accepted the Guardian’s defence that its acceptance of the ad did not suggest endorsement.
The Guardian also explained that it had taken the advert on the grounds that it was “within the bounds of taste and decency” [!!!] and that it had not considered it antisemitic [!!!]; moreover, the Guardian continued, the advert appeared following a period of “Israeli attacks on civilians in Lebanon” and was therefore “understandably vigorous and uncompromising”.
Rustbucket is quoted in the report as telling Hunt that in the light of his complaint the Guardian was “examining our procedure” in order “to make sure that any similar subjects in future would undergo proper scrutiny before appearing in the paper”.&quot;</description>

		<description>Who is Vangelis Pissias? What does he teach at what university?

The Greeks fought against the Germans but also used the opportunity to commit massacres against non Greek minorities especially Albanians and then conducted a civil war between Right and Left that began while the Nazis were still in occupation. About 1 million people were displaced.

The ideal instructors to the Gazans.</description>

		<description>Please don&#039;t shout down me, but I just tried to think into it, would it not perhaps been better if these extremist parasites just gained a pass and entered Gaza? Wouldn&#039;t their campaign have just more easily fused out and be better from Israel&#039;s PoV? I tend to think that it might... I don&#039;t know.</description>
