Golden Dawn lawmaker says Israel ‘eternal enemy’ of Greeks, Christians

ed note–GD is absolutely correct, but as history has shown, being right and having the truth on your side is no guarantee to victory at all. If ‘the truth’ were all that was needed in winning the battle, the battle would have been over thousands of years ago a few moments after it began.

What this means in layman’s terms is that–unfortunately, human nature being what it is–people are weak and stupid and won’t side with the truth, even when they know what it is. People know that smoking cigarettes cause lung cancer, which no one wants, but they do it anyway. They know that immoral sexual behavior results in a whole slew of personal and societal problems, but people do it. Dittos with alcohol, drugs, junk food, porn, etc, etc, etc. 

Therefore, bringing this thing ‘full circle’ as the irreplaceable Mike Piper used to say,  individuals and groups–including Golden Dawn–need to understand what a losing strategy it is these days for those in this struggle against organized Jewish interests to employ Nazi imagery, language, salutes, themes, etc. It’s a loser stock that costs a fortune and has very, very low yield. It is the equivalent of someone standing outside a McDonald’s that is situated between a High School and an automobile manufacturing plant at lunch time and passing out flyers to those about to enter talking about how they should forego eating the junk food that looks great, smells great, tastes great, and is relatively cheap and instead have a vegetable salad from the local grocery store. It simply AIN’T gonna sell.

Greek Defense Minister Panos Kammenos called on the Justice Ministry to take action against a neo-Nazi lawmaker after he made anti-Israel comments in parliament.

Speaking during a debate in parliament on Monday, Christos Pappas, from the Golden Dawn party, called Israel an “eternal enemy of Greece and Orthodoxy.”

Pappas was speaking during a debate on the ratification of Greece’s international agreements with other countries.

“The state of Israel implements genocidal methods and is a regional troublemaker,” he said, according to the Kathemirini newspaper, asking how “a state like Israel could possibly have relations with Greece, which is the cradle of civilization and humanism.”

Defense Minister Kammenos, a member of the nationalist Independent Greeks party, called Pappas’ remarks racist and xenophobic and called on the justice ministry to take action against him.

Kammenos has himself in the past been criticized for anti-Semitic comments, after claiming in 2014 that Greek Jews paid fewer taxes than other Greeks, but since taking up the position as defense minister has overseen increasingly warm ties with Israel.

Golden Dawn, which is the third largest party in Greece, frequently uses Nazi imagery. Its leaders have denied the existence of Nazi death camps and gas chambers.

Much of its leadership is on trial for running a criminal organization accused of being behind dozens of racist attacks on immigrants and the killing of a left-wing activist.
