*sigh* In previous decades, we always felt perfectly safe in Greece. I wonder what has gone so badly astray... why is anti-Semitism taking such a hold in Greece, do you think? Did they get right inside the Jewish Museum?
The Greek Orthodox Church and the newspapers are allowed to continually fan the fire of anti-Semitism without harness. The Jewish Greek communities have no common bond, as they all operate as separate entities. There is no cohesiveness and there are no adult program to strengthen what is left of the Jewish Greek community. May the Almighty send the Messiah in our time to bring an end to all of this suffering to our people Israel.
