The c.g. of the Central Jewish Council of Greece, Victor Eliezer, commented in a scathing manner on the recent statements of SYRIZA MP Petros Pappas.
Petros Pappas, referring to the internal party procedures of his party, pointed out that "Stefanos Kasselakis was overthrown at the exact moment he was trying to lead SYRIZA to a constitutional conference. That is, to transform this party of tendencies, of small barons, this party of left-wing guards of pure leftism, it reminds of the orthodox Jews - this obsession let's say with the purity of the faith. Because some people don't want to lose the keys to the temple."

In today's technologically interconnected world, the ability to invent and spread conspiracy theories has become easier than ever. This became evident after the recent assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump. Millions of people took to social media to share their interpretations of the event and the would-be killer's alleged motives.
BlueAnon theories point out that the attack was staged to influence the upcoming election. BlueAnon, a pun on QAnon, refers to conspiracy theories espoused by liberals.
The rapid spread of such theories has fueled their already existing echo chambers, where misinformation is often amplified without verification or critical examination. However, the assassination attempt on Trump is not a new phenomenon.
Political violence, such as the assassination of political leaders, has occurred repeatedly at regular intervals - particularly in the United States. What is new is the way technology, especially social media, amplifies conspiracy rhetoric and makes it harder to challenge it.

IN THE MIDDLE AGES, Jews were hated because of their religion. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, they were hated because of their race. Today they are hated because they have created a nation-state, the state of Israel. The hatred takes many forms, but it remains basically the same: it is the view that Jews have no right to exist as free and equal human beings.
But the latter form created a kind of anti-Semitism that works differently. The Western view of the Jews and their land is rooted in our cultural heritage.
