Μετά το Πάσχα, στην Αθήνα, στη Θεσσαλονίκη και στα Γιάννινα, σε περιοχές όπου υπάρχουν πολλά διαμερίσματα τα οποία νοικιάζονται σε τουρίστες (Airbnb), τοιχοκολλήθηκαν αφίσες στις οποίες, με εβραϊκή γραφή, κυριαρχούσε το σύνθημα: «Εβραίοι, δεν είστε καλοδεχούμενοι». Οι αφίσες είναι ανυπόγραφες, αλλά προϋποθέτουν οργάνωση και χρήματα, είναι δηλαδή κάτι περισσότερο από τρέλα κάποιων λίγων «ιδιόρρυθμων» ή ενός αντιτουριστικού κινήματος τύπου Βαρκελώνης. Επιπλέον, δείχνουν μεθόδευση. Επειδή και οι τρεις πόλεις στις οποίες έχουν τοιχοκολληθεί είναι κάτι πολύ παραπάνω από τουριστικοί προορισμοί.

About a year ago, the attack on Israeli tourists in front of a hotel of Israeli interests in the Omonia area was kept "low" for understandable reasons. The perpetrators were immigrants together with "antifa". The day before yesterday, the streets of Athens, Thessaloniki and Ioannina were filled with posters on which, in Hebrew writing, there was the slogan "Jews you are not welcome". They were Airbnb accommodation areas so that the message would be understood by the targeted tourists.

To what extent can a "tradition" be considered worthy of preservation when it is based on the targeting of a group?
LIFO 16.4.2025 BY GEORGE TSAGKOZIS. Every year, during the Easter season, traditional customs with a long history are revived in various regions of Greece. Two of them, however, consistently provoke reactions: the “burning of Judas” and the lesser-known but equally problematic “burning of the Arab.” Although they are often presented as innocent revivals of popular culture, both are based on racist and anti-Semitic stereotypes that should now be seriously criticized.

On the occasion of the incident of vandalism of works of art at the National Gallery by Nikos Papadopoulos, MP of the "Niki" party, the following comment by the general secretary of KISE, Victor Eliezer, regarding the manifestations of fanaticism, was published on 13.3.2025 on the publicradio website:
"In 2015, Islamist fanatics murdered four executives of the magazine Charlie Hebdo because the publication of a cartoon of Muhammad offended their religious feelings. More recently, in Greece, some people vandalized the home of a well-known journalist because they believed that his comments offended their ideological roots. Others vandalize Jewish cemeteries because even dead Jews bother them. And a few days ago, a member of parliament vandalized the National Gallery because he believed that some exhibits offended his religious beliefs. Sketches and exhibits can indeed trivialize historical events, become propaganda tools, or even insult religious symbols and cause the revulsion of millions of people.
