Unironically, admitting Israel, Palestine and Lebanon into the European Union might actually be the solution to this whole fucking clusterfuck.

Edit: major major reforms should take place of course, and Israel should dismantle apartheid and pay reparations, while Lebanon should dismantle the sectarian dysfunction of their government, but as a long term horizon this region needs the wildly successful EU model of peaceful pacification more than any other region in the world.

Does Greece has an anti-Semitism problem? Yes, unequivocally. We also have a much bigger Islamophobia problem. Beyond that, the "rankings" are meaningless.

In terms of policy, our government is one that straight up kills migrants at sea and allies itself with a genocidal apartheid regime.

The people taking action here did a good thing. It's people like this that save Greek honour.

The ADL counts opposition to Israel as antisemitism. Any metric based on the IHRA definition is just garbage and propaganda.

Edit: the ADL is worse than "silly". They are enablers of antisemitism so long as the antisemites are pro-Israeli. Zero credibility.

Edit2: you're quoting a list that lists 93% of Palestinians as antisemites. What a fucking sick joke.

Paradox of tolerance at play here.

Yes Frau Von der Leyen, and Europe has had a big hand in it, too, especially the destruction of the international rule of law for the sake of the genocidal Israeli apartheid regime. Never before has Europe so blatantly undermined International Law and institutions, never before has Europe been so blatantly a genocide enabler. You murdered international law and now you're going to go around shedding crocodile tears for it. You fool nobody. Europe has relinquished immense amounts of soft power, political goodwill and moral standing in the world.

The few European countries, such as Ireland and Spain that did break the mold are the only saving grace but I'm not sure they are enough to salvage the entire project. We, collectively as Europeans, are now responsible for having enabled a genocide, and shielded its perpetrators.

See, according to Germany's political establishment and mainstream, you, an actual Jew, are antisemitic. The German establishment knows better than you. And there is absolutely nothing creepy or antisemitic in them telling you you're a bad Jew.

Edit: not to mention that this person right here is probably feeling immense satisfaction at having been downvoted to oblivion. Because they are likely perceiving this whole thing as them taking a brave stand against antisemitism. This is them being pure rational Germans against antisemitic irrationality. That's where we're at.

If Greece was doing what Israel is doing and my fellow Greek electors were responsible for electing for 20 years in free and fair elections the government that does it AND they were polling the government coalition responsible for doing it first for the next election AND in opinion polls overwhelmingly supported the genocide and I was one of the few brave souls doing the protesting, not only would I be ok with the conflation, I would be encouraging.

Holding autocracies to account is easy: send the dictator to the Hague.

Holding democracies (even flawed ones like Israel's) to account is harder.

It won't happen overnight, but it will happen. Support the Hind Rajab Foundation. We'll make the fuckers pay.

The Israelis are going to regret this for decades to come. The world will not forget.

Χέσε μας ρε που η Ελλάδα είναι η πιο αντισημιτική χώρα του κόσμου.

What is disgusting I that you are conflating legitimate non violent pressure to the citizens of a genocidal state to do their duty as citizens with hatred towards Jews.

There is only one thing more repulsive than the Ls and that's the Cs.
