  • Plenty of grafity all over Greece I’ve seen lately with phrases like “all IDF soldiers are murderers” and “Zionists not welcome” and “Israel is a terrorist state” etc. I and basically all Greeks agree with those. I suspect the butthurt reaction from the Israeli envoy will only increase sales of spray paint in Athens


  • I do believe that PASOK’s tone would be different if they were currently the ruling party, because they’d have more to lose, and that ND, the current ruling party, would be more critical of Israel to gain points. However, this guy seems genuine enough from what I read, and by that I mean ND aligned media scolded him heavily for what he said, so he must be doing something right to piss them off.

    Let me give you some perspective here.

    First of all I wanna say I agree with the guy.

    He’s trying to run for leader of Greece’s PASOK party, projected to be second in polls right now.

    He is however not in the party currently running the government, which has been elected with the widest victory in recent decades. The ruling party stands firm on the side of Israel and will beg forgiveness for the mayor’s statement, strongly condemning it.

    The people, however, are with Gaza.

    So the Greek government is mostly pro-Israel, despite this guy making strong statements and his party backing him up, it’s mostly to posture against the current ruling party to gain in polls and for the mayor to gain more support in his bid to become the second party’s leader.










  • In all honesty he probably doesn’t believe any of what he publicly says. Trump probably offered him less government scrutiny for his inherently dangerous projects (tesla self driving, SpaceX experimental rockets etc) as well as the billionaire tax breaks and he’s just trying to get him elected for his own personal profit. I’ve never seen a billionaire’s life be affected by a government decision, they all do as they please anyway (unless they’re in China or Russia)
