The Central Jewish Council of Greece expresses its surprise and concern OLME announcement with which he declared "Monday, November 6, 2023 a nationwide day of action in favor of the Palestinian people", one day before the completion of 30 days since the barbaric attack by Hamas on towns and villages of the State of Israel.
With this text, he adopts the Board of Directors of OLME and uses exactly the same argumentation of Hamas which seeks the destruction of Israel, and the murder of Jews, wherever they are. The authors of the text demonize the State of Israel and delegitimize its right to exist. This text reflects the propaganda of Hamas in order to deepen and widen the hatred against Israel and the Jews in the new generation of Palestinians in Gaza.
Unfortunately, the OLME, in its text of support for the Palestinian people, did not find the space to condemn the inhuman attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023, in which its members slaughtered and burned alive 1.400 Israeli citizens of all ages. He did not find the space to call for the release of 242 Israeli infants, men and women who were kidnapped by Hamas and are being held in the bowels of Gaza! And what's more, he never denied the massacres of Hamas!
BUT THESE WERE JEWS...
Apparently some at OLME don't care about Jews. Their sensitivity is selective... Israel and the Jews are the easy target!
As Israeli politician Yair Lapid, leader of the centrist opposition Officer party, wrote in an open letter: “There is a reason you are protesting against us these days and, like everything else, it comes from feelings. Because contrary to everything you think about yourself, everything you say about color blindness, humanity, human rights defenders and all the rest, you have another personality trait – you are anti-Semitic. I know you think you're not, but you are."
