Dear Greece…You Can’t Have It Both Ways

By Gerald A. Honigman

I recently read a disturbing article in the Greek Reporter which prompted this response…

It was just the latest of numerous nasty examples of Greek displays of utter disrespect and hatred towards the Jewish People and their beleaguered nation.

Greece too often sides with deliberate butchers of infants who claim Jews have no historic claims to the land of Israel. Your nation’s historic record too often reflects animosity towards the resurrected Jew of the Nations…

This makes you both an antisemitic and anti-Zionist country. The two are merely flip sides of the Jewish identity coin. It’s sort of like saying that someone can like individual Greeks but deny that an independent Greek nation has a right to exist.

For Jews, anti-Zionism is simply the national liberation movement of the Jewish People in their own four millennial old ancestral homeland. “Zion” is simply another name for Jerusalem, and later for the entire land of Israel as well.

Unlike Arabs, who by virtue of their 14 centuries of genocidal, settling, imperialistic, colonizing, jihadi conquests now possess almost two dozen states, including one carved out of the original 1920 Mandate of Palestine in 1922 and known as Jordan today, Jews have but one which requires a magnifying glass to locate on a world globe.

To establish some credentials, I’ve done extensive doctoral work in Middle Eastern and National Security Policy Studies.

At a time when Israel, the historically corroborated homeland of the Jewish People going back some 4,000 years since Abraham moved from Ur in ancient Mesopotamia, today’s Iraq, into Judah/Judea in the land of Israel, and purchased the burial site for the Hebrew

Patriarchs and most of the Matriarchs in Hebron, where David, born in Bethlehem of Judaea some one thousand years later and was anointed King of Israel by the Prophet Samuel in Hebron as well, the land of Israel became the ancestral homeland of the Jewish People—not Arabs, and certainly not non-existent “Palestinians.” For elaboration on this crucial point, please see below and make sure to include the two essential internal links:

As illustrated in the above link, so called “Palestinians” are merely a modern mid-20th century renamed sub group of those jihadi Arab hordes who burst out of the fast desiccating Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century C.E., literally in search of other peoples’ greener pastures, savagely conquering, colonizing, settling, and spreading their caliphal imperialist supremacist faith among the area of MENA’s and adjacent lands numerous indigenous peoples.

This led them into the age-old historic lands of non-Arab Judaeans, Persians, Egyptians, Kurds, pre-Arab conquest Lebanese/Phoenicians, Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians, black Africans, North Africans Amazigh/”Berbers,” Circassians, Chaldeans, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, and others as well.

Those peoples who did not submit and convert to the conquering Arabs’ Islam were slaughtered, as Arabs then claimed the entire region to be solely “purely Arab patrimony,” part of the continuously expanding Dar ul-Islam, and to hell with anyone else’s aspirations or rights—the main source of the Arab-Israeli, Arab-Druze, Arab-Amazigh/Kabyle/”Berber, ” Arab-black African, Arabized Pakistani Muslim-Indian Hindu and Sikh, and other ongoing conflicts in the region to this very day.

To see who the various historical peoples saw the land belonging to, please open the link to the front cover of my forever timely book and note the Roman coin of conquest on top. It’s an Iudaea Capta coin—not an Arabia and certainly not a non-existent Palaestina capta one.

It was JEWS in their four millennia old ancestral homeland, repeatedly fighting various conquerors of much of the world for their freedom and independence, not anyone else…not in this land.

See extensive corroborating evidence by Roman and other historians here:

Arabs of any subspecies have nothing, zilch, nada approaching any of the above corroborating evidence attaching them to the land of Israel…Period. Indeed, Arabs came as conquering, settling, colonizing invaders, as seen here…

“Settlers” INN and …

Let’s return to the unfortunate report of the nastiness of the Greek people displayed towards Israeli Jews coming as tourists into your land as seen both at the beginning of this article and directly below…

Putting it bluntly, too many Greeks are infected by almost 2,000 years of religious hatred ingrained into them by their Church’s religious teachings.

Read the homilies of St. John Chrysostom in the following article as just one example of far too many more:

And the “Replacement Theology” of the Greek Orthodox Church is largely responsible for the persistent animus towards Jews and the sole, minuscule, nation of Israel Reborn.

It is responsible for preventing two great ancient peoples from developing truly close relations at a time when both are existentially threatened by a common, uncompromising, Islamist expansionist enemy.

Would-be Sultan Erdogan the Great has his eyes set on as much of Greece he can get his hands on (besides Cyprus), and supports the microwavers and beheaders of Jewish infants in Hamas at the same time as well.

While Greece gladly accepts Israeli IDF and IAF forces in helping to keep the Turkish bogeyman at bay, along with their state of the art weapons systems, it repeatedly treats Jews with utter disrespect and contempt, with frequent displays of hatred as well.

Use and abuse the Church’s perfidious Jews… Not so?

Here’s more about that toxic Replacement Theology which needs to go the way of the DoDo Bird … here and here

Much has been written about the marvellous complementing impacts on the entire world of Hebraism and Hellenism.

Is it not time to eradicate the narrow minded religious hatred which helped pave the road to Auschwitz and the all-too-willing proclivity to believe genocidal taqiyyah (deliberate lying to kafir Infidels) spouting Arab and Arabized Islamist butchers in Hamas, Boko Haram, al-Qaida, ISIS, Hizbullah, and so forth instead of Jews simply trying to live in peace in their ancient homeland?
