Once again, I am in agreement with required reading. It is unfortunate that Greek Americans seem to have a very strictly conditioned view of world affairs and can not begin to understand the Greeks who live in Greece. In Greece we can access much more balanced information, and we are thus more open-minded. In a way I am sorry for this because it creates a gulf with our American counterparts. Before the holocaust the Jews thrived in Greece. Go and ask around in Thessaloniki to find out how important and powerful and well-integrated the Jewish community was in that city. There are many museums and archives that pay tribute to the Jews of Thessaloniki. It was not the Greeks but the Nazis who put such a violent end to all that. But today the Jews of the U.S. are the most racist, bigotted and oppressive minority. I am saying that matter-of-factly. They just are. And it makes absolute sense in terms of their religion and history. You don't need to be a genius to realise that their attitude might create some problems with thinking people everywhere...
