At the Ancient Theater of Epidaurus, a place of world culture, transmitter of universal messages of peace and reconciliation, at the end of the play "Oresteia", spectators and actors of the National Theater shouted the slogan "Freedom in Palestine".
We wonder why none of the audience and the actors of the show thought to ask for the "Freedom of the Hostages" forgetting that 120 Israeli citizens, women, men and children of all ages, have been held for 282 days in the bowels of Gaza, by desperate terrorists and no one knows whether they live or under what conditions they survive.
Selective memory that defies the fate of the hostages, just because they are Jews, is inconsistent with the spirit of culture of the Ancient Theater of Epidaurus.

Israel is celebrating 76 years since its foundation, since the establishment of the National Home of all those Jews who throughout history suffered exile, discrimination, persecution, all those who desperately sought a safe haven when they escaped the gas chambers, but no one he wanted to receive them.
In its 76-year history, Israel has achieved miracles of progress in all fields of science, health, technology, innovation, Arts and Letters, social solidarity and welfare despite adversity and differences. It is the country where cultures and religions meet, people who come from the 4 horizons of the universe – from Europe and Africa, from America and Asia – where hundreds of thousands of Jews settled and integrated to build together the home of the Jewish people .
But at the same time, Israel remembers... it remembers its children! Every family mourns relatives, friends, neighbors. Israelis mourn the 30.140 soldiers and civilians who fell for the independence of the State of Israel and the safety of its citizens during the wars and terrorist attacks against it. 1.600 of them fell victim to the terrorist attack of October 7, 2023 and the war that continues to this day. A war that can only be stopped by the release of all the hostages held by the terrorist organization Hamas.

The Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece and the Greek Jewry unequivocally condemn Iran's attack against Israel, on April 14.4.2024, with hundreds of missiles and stand by the side of the long-suffering people of Israel who, once again in their history, are demonstrating extraordinary strength and resilience. The barrage of Iranian attacks was launched to harm Israeli citizens, as part of Iran's longstanding policy of wiping the State of Israel off the world map. Thanks to the high sense of patriotism, the high technological expertise and readiness of the Israeli security forces along with the cooperation with allied countries - such as the USA, Great Britain, France and Jordan - this attack was successfully intercepted.
The recent Iranian missile attack, as well as the attacks launched at Israel by Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, once again indicate Iran as the orchestrator and instigator of global terrorism. Just as the alarm of incoming fire sounds in Israel daily, the alarm of the threat to our democratic values and societies from Islamic fundamentalism sounds daily in the Western world.

January 27, 2024, Holocaust Remembrance Day - We remember our own people, the 6 million Jews of Europe who were displaced and brutally murdered. We remember losses and pain. We reflect on the fading wound that never healed and feel responsible for preserving the Memory. We remember the 67.000 Greek Jews, relatives, friends and neighbors from all over Greece who were exterminated in Auschwitz, Treblinka, Dachau and the other German death camps. We remember our fellow human beings and fellow citizens, anonymous and named Righteous Among the Nations, who are the light of humanity, who at the risk of their lives saved our co-religionists.
