Greece Whitewashed by EU Rights Agency on Anti-Semitism
– “Burning of Judas” practice promoted again
Greek Helsinki Monitor (GHM) considers unacceptable that the official European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) whitewashed Greece in its February 2009 anti-Semitism report. As seen below, FRA reported for 2008 only the convictions in two trials on anti-Semitic texts. Yet, as seen for example in the annual report of the US Department of State (DOS) for 2008, also released in February 2009, whose excerpts on anti-Semitism are reprinted below, there were also incidents of vandalism of Jewish monuments, while the anti-Semitic Easter tradition of the burning of a life-size effigy of Judas continued unhindered. The DOS report does not report moreover the various anti-Semitic texts published in Greek newspaper.
GHM stresses that the FRA underreporting reflects a long tradition of its predecessor EUMC and of FRA to consistently underreport Greece’s problems related to national minorities, Roma and anti-Semitism. Thus, FRA reflects the official state attitude and the nearly identical attitude of many supposed “civil society organizations” to deny or underestimate human rights violations in these areas.
GHM would also like to note that, in the DOS [Dept. of State] report it is claimed, that “the government formally condemned vandalism and all expressions of anti-Semitism.” GHM asked a human rights officer of the US Embassy to provide a reference for such claim but none was provided simply because it did not exist.
Again, reports by DOS and supposed “civil society organizations” consistently report a supposed government condemnation of anti-Semitic incidents which, in most cases, was non-existent or reflected the fact that when queried by the report writers the state provided to them, and only to them, such a statement.
Moreover, from late December 2008 on, following the Israeli attacks on Gaza, there were widespread anti-Semitic incidents in the media but also in Jewish monuments: GHM reprints below a related Central Board of Jewish Communities report, with the note that several references in it formally reflect anti-Israeli rather than anti-Semitic attitudes, but it is true that in most of those cases there is a plausible suspicion of an anti-Semitic motivation behind the anti-Israeli protests.
Finally, in this year’s Ester period, there were references in most media to the widespread practice of the “burning of Judas” with pictures from the events often taking place alongside the church “Resurrection” or other religious services, explanations of its meaning, occasional mentions that it is also called “burning of the Jew,” and even invitations to such events by local associations and churches. GHM provides below references to the practice in the country’s six largest newspapers and two of the three most read information blogs:

In March 2008 an Athens court convicted the publisher, the editor and the columnist of a far-right weekly for hate speech against Jews30 according to anti-racist criminal law n.927/79. This is the second conviction within a few months, the first concerning the publication of an anti-Semitic book. On 18.9.2008 the Athens 1st Court of Appeal confirmed the ruling.

[excerpts on anti-Semitism]
According to local leaders of the Jewish community, there were approximately 5,000 Jews living in the country. Expressions of anti Semitism continued to occur, particularly in the extremist press. The mainstream press and public often mixed negative comments about Jews with criticism of the Israeli government. Giorgos Karatzaferis, the leader of the ultra right political party LAOS, publicly stated that the party was not racist or anti Semitic but frequently denied that the Holocaust occurred and accused "the pope and the Jews" of a conspiracy against the country.
There continued to be reports of vandalism of Jewish monuments during the year. In May a gravestone was broken and a large amount of broken glass was spread in the alleys and around the graves of the Athens Jewish cemetery. In August an anti Semitic video boasting about the vandalism of the Holocaust memorial of Rhodes was aired on YouTube. In December anti Semitic graffiti protesting Israeli military action in Gaza appeared on the walls of the synagogue in Volos. The Jewish community protested these incidents, and the government formally condemned vandalism and all expressions of anti Semitism.
Unlike the previous year, state tourism and media agencies did not advertise the Easter tradition involving the burning of a life size effigy of Judas, sometimes referred to as the "burning of the Jew." The traditional practice continued to occur in some parts of the country but was generally labeled the "burning of Judas" instead. The Jewish Community continued to protest anti Semitic passages in the Greek Orthodox Church's Holy Week liturgy. The Jewish community reported that it remained in dialogue with the Orthodox Church about the removal of these passages.
The GHM and the Central Board of Jewish Communities brought charges against the newspaper Eleftheros Kosmos and former LAOS political party candidate Kostas Plevris for racism and anti Semitism. In December 2007 Eleftheros Kosmos was acquitted, but Plevris received a 14 month suspended sentence for inciting hatred and racial violence with his book The Jews The Whole Truth. The book denied the Holocaust and called Jewish people "mortal enemies" and "subhuman." During the trial a group of neo Nazis made Nazi salutes in the corridors of the courthouse, put up "fans of Hitler" posters, and handed out anti Semitic leaflets. Plevris appealed the sentence; the trial had not begun by year's end.
On March 5, the misdemeanors court of Athens sentenced three journalists of Eleftheros Kosmos to seven month suspended sentences for insulting Jews. The journalists appealed the sentence. In September the appeals court unanimously changed the terms from seven to five month suspended sentences. In September an Athens appeals court sentenced the publisher and a former columnist of weekly newspaper Eleftheros Kosmos for anti Semitism in a March 2006 column. The columnist had criticized Thessaloniki's small Jewish community, decimated during the Holocaust, writing "thank God, less than 1,500 are left." Each defendant was given a five month suspended sentence. [GHM note: the whole paragraph concerns the same case but is repeated twice as if it were a different case.]
In December, after the start of Israeli military action in Gaza, the left of center newspaper Eleftherotypia printed anti Semitic cartoons and satire, joining smaller extremist publications that compared Jews to Nazis or held them responsible for actions of the state of Israel.

THE IMPACT OF THE GAZA CONFLICT
ON GREEK SOCIETY AND THE JEWISH COMMUNITY
The “anti-Israeli” feeling of the majority of the Greek public opinion revived and escalated since the outbreak of the Gaza conflict. In January 2009, the number of anti-Semitic incidents related to the conflict increased as well.
Greek public opinion is clearly pro-Palestinian. Politicians, popular Greek figures, bishops, public administrators, mayors around Greece, as well as the mass media made anti-Israeli statements, often with anti-Semitic references (drawing parallels between Israelis and Nazis, Gaza and Auschwitz, David and Goliath, etc).
Antisemitic incidents against Jewish targets:
From December 31, 2008 to January 21, 2009, Jewish sites were desecrated in Athens, Larissa, Volos, Corfu, Veroia, Drama, Komotini and Ioannina with anti-Semitic graffiti and slogans on Synagogues, Holocaust Monuments and Jewish cemeteries. Graffiti with slogans like “Jews = Murderers” and “Jews=Nazis” was common to all cases. In two cases, violent attacks were prevented by the police: In Veroia, there was an attempt to light the door of the Synagogue on fire and in Larissa, there was an attempt to tear down the Magen David from the door of the Synagogue and forced entry into it. Violent attacks occurred in the Jewish cemetery of Ioannina where a few tombstones were damaged and vandalized.
Totally 13 antisemitic incidents occurred in one month, when throughout 2008 only two relevant incidents occurred and respectively eight incidents in 2007.
In February 2009, the number of incidents decreased to one, reported in Ioannina, where swastikas appeared on the gate of the Jewish cemetery. (See detailed report, Annex 1).
GREEK REACTIONS:
The President of the Republic: President Karolos Papoulias, during the new year’s reception on January 1st, stated: “Aren’t they [the Israelis] ashamed of killing children?”. The Greek press reported that President Papoulias, while speaking to K. Mitsotakis (ex Prime Minister who recognized Israel and upgraded diplomatic relations with Greece), said: “What are our friends, the Israelis, doing? Are they flying airplanes and killing in cold blood?”.
The Government: Prime Minister Konstantinos Karamanlis has made no public statements on the Gaza issue. Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis made careful and balanced statements, keeping equal distances from both sides.
The Opposition: The main Opposition Party of PASOK adopted a clearly pro-Palestinian position. The leader of the Opposition George Papandreou, who is also President of the “Socialist International” (expressed solidarity only towards the Palestinians. No M.P. of the PASOK Party made any reference to the Israeli victims of Hamas or to the rocket fire against Israelis from the organization. Political spokesman of PASOK M.P Andreas Loverdos, in an interview (Real news, Jan.4, ‘09), stated that: “One cannot keep equal distances from unequal subjects. Equal distances between unequal subjects are unequal distances. We have the weak Palestinians from one side and the almighty Israelis on the other. We have harassment from one side and hundreds of deaths on the other. …I believe that today Greeks could say that ‘we all feel like Palestinians’!”. The Parliamentary spokesman of PASOK Theodoros Pangalos returned the Israeli Ambassador’s new year’s gift, together with a letter explaining that “he cannot accept a gift of wines produced in Golan which Israel illegally occupies”. With reference to Gaza, he compared it to the Warsaw ghetto. The letter was leaked to the press.
The Parties of the Left: The Greek Communist Party and the Party of “SYNASPISMOS” made severe anti-Israel statements. Communist Party Secretary Aleka Papariga urged Israel to “unconditionally stop the bombings in Gaza because the attacking party cannot pose any conditions”. The leader of SYNASPISMOS Party Alexis Tsipras spoke of “genocide against the Palestinian people”, stating that “the Israelis have turned Gaza into an immense concentration camp, exterminating civilians, women and small children” and asked the Government “to annul the agreement of military cooperation between Greece and Israel”. The Chairman of the Parliamentary Group of SYNASPISMOS Alekos Alavanos asked the Government to recall the Greek Ambassador from Israel. Alekos Alavanos, in his statements defined the Israeli attacks as a “crime against humanity”. He also submitted an interpellation to the Greek Parliament on the intermediation of the Greek Government in Gaza conflict. He also made statements pointing out that “the E.U. should condemn -instead of encouraging- the Israeli pogroms against the Palestinian people”. M.E.P. of SYNASPISMOS, Dimitris Papadimoulis, submitted an interpellation to the E.U. Council asking the E.U. to bring Israel before The Hague International Court under the accusation of war crimes.
The Party of LAOS. George Karatzaferis, the leader of the far-right Party of LAOS, published a fiercely anti-Semitic article in his weekly newspaper “ALPHA ENA”, on Jan. 3-4, 2009, (the official organ of his Party). In his article –inter alia- he states that “Jews have turned themselves into murderers equally heinous as the Nazis were”, that “the Jew smells of blood” and that one would not expect any better from the “race that crucified God. Would the murderers of God care about a few hundred innocent children being murdered?” (see the full article attached – Annex 2). The Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece addressed a letter of protest to the President of the Greek Parliament Mr. Dimitris Sioufas. In this letter, the Greek Jewry points out that “This is an unacceptable, unique in the Greek records, as well as an open expression of anti-Semitism, coming from a member of the Greek Parliament and even leader of a political party. Dear Mr. President, we, Greek Jews, express our abhorrence and our serious concern; we consider that this wrongdoing of a member of the Greek Parliament, could, under circumstances of extreme racism, be a herald of similar and even violent actions against Greek citizens. Such violent actions have caused affliction to Jews in the past”. (Full text attached – Annex 3). As a reaction the Special Secretary of the Greek Parliament communicated our Board’s letter to the Parliamentary Group of LAOS. (See attached – Annex 4). George Karatzaferis replied to our Board (the whole correspondence passed through the Special Secretary of the Parliament). The letter, highly ironical with anti-Semitic hints, was communicated to our Board and was published in the newspaper “Alpha Ena” (January 24-25, 2009), under another anti-Semitic comment. (See Annex 5 – The reply of G. Karatzaferis and the comment of “Alpha Ena”).
Representatives of the Church. A balanced statement was made by the Archbishop of Athens and All Greece Ieronymos. Nevertheless, the Archbishop met with the Ambassador of the Diplomatic Representation of the Palestinian Authority. On the other hand, a few local bishops made anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic statements: The Bishop of Kalavryta Ambrosios stated that “Israel attacks spread death among civilians. The powerful people of the earth, through their silence and guilty tolerance cover the aggression of Israel! An ongoing genocide is being held in Gaza and nobody protests!…”. The Bishop of Piraeus Seraphim, in his statement spoke of “the claws of the Zionist monster” and referred to a “global Zionist attack”.
Municipalities / Labour syndicates / rallies / demonstrations
A large number of Municipalities, Prefectures, public entities and labour syndicates around Greece issued resolutions and organized rallies of solidarity to the Palestinian people. Here under we refer only to a few characteristic examples, so as to outline the situation:
-During a demonstration in Athens, protesters burned Israeli and American flags in front of the Israeli Embassy (Dec. 29, 2008).
-The Greek Institute of Consumers issued an announcement urging consumers to boycott Israeli products.
-The Municipal Council of Athens passed a resolution condemning “the Israeli military attack in Gaza which assumes the characteristics of a genocide against the Palestinian people”. The Mayor of Athens Nikitas Kaklamanis declared to be “a keen supporter of the Palestinian cause for an independent, peaceful, and democratic Palestinian State”.
- The Municipality of Nikea (suburb of Athens), during the new year’s festivities, placed the Palestinian flag on the Town Hall premises. The Nikea Mayor Benetatos spoke of “mass murders” committed by the Israelis and expressed solidarity towards Palestinians.
-Announcements and resolutions condemning Israel were issued by a great number of Organizations, such as: The Union of Journalists of Athens, the Coordination Committee of Lawyers Associations, Workers Struggling Front (PAME -labour Union affiliated to the Communist Party), etc.
The MASS MEDIA. Greek press and TV broadcasts maintain a pro-Palestinian policy line. The main characteristic is the clear choice made by the majority of the Greek media to promote Palestinian losses over the Israeli ones and condemn Israel’s military operations without condemning the Hamas attacks. Antisemitic references, drawing parallels with the Holocaust and the Nazis, cartoons with Nazi comparison, have been common place during this period. Mainstream daily “Eleftherotypia” published many anti-Israeli articles with anti-Semitic references. Some front page headlines are characteristic : “Avriani” (Dec. 28, 2008) “They began practicing for World War III” / “Eleftheri Ora” (Dec. 29, 08) “Auschwitz – The Gaza Strip, with the Jew as baker this time” / “Apogevmatini” (Jan. 5, 09) “Holocaust”.
Internet. In the site of the daily paper “Rizospastis”, official organ of the Communist Party, a flash animation, appearing in the home page, showed the Israeli flag scattering and the Star of David becoming one of the stars on the U.S. flag. Consequently, all the stars of the U.S. flag were turning into swastikas. Then the following slogan appeared: “Imperialism dropped its mask and put out its Zionist knife”.

ANNEX 2 – Article of G. Karatzaferis
“Alpha Ena”, Saturday 3rd – Sunday 4th, January, 2009
It is widely
Although spelled differently, in Greek the word “widely” is pronounced the same as “Jewish”. In the original, the title is deliberately misspelled, resulting in something that could be loosely translated as “It is Jewishly known”. known…
They envied the glory of those whom they hate.
The most hateful person becomes, because of them, more approachable.
They are the worst thing of the 20th century.
Hitler, 3rd Reich, Nazism
All the peoples. The entire earth. The civilised and the less civilised. The educated and the less educated. We all believed that it would not be possible for those dark pages of history to be repeated again.
And yet, in less than 70 years, the foremost victims of Hitler’s brutality, the JEWS, have turned themselves into murderers, equally heinous as their own.
They have been ceaselessly murdering ever since the ill-starred day when the independence of the State of Israel was declared. It was not ill-starred for having justly satisfied the 2,000-year-old yearning of the Jews for a state of their own. It was so for the pitiable error of the mighty of the inter-war period who did not simultaneously recognise a State of Palestine as well.
It was to be expected that his one-sided recognition would result in bloodshed. This blood was the blood of the innocent, as today, just the same as yesterday and tomorrow.
The state of ISRAEL still feels that –in the name of the Holocaust– it can brutalise, abuse, blackmail and humiliate, people as well as institutions.
This is a continuous and growing provocation against the entire civilised world, which bases its outrageously provocative behaviour, on the invasion, in the public life of most powerful nations, of Jews who follow the ruthless dictates of Zionism. No one is resisting sufficiently. Some countries are resisting partially, but none effectively. It is a SHAME.
With a little effort it would be possible to include them [the Jews] in a Society of Justice, solidarity and understanding.
It is difficult to do such a thing with a race that CRUCIFIED God on the one and only time he came down to earth.
And yet, we must try. They do not know the evil THEY DO. GOD, their GREATEST VICTIM is forever reminding us:
“THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.”
Would the murderers of GOD care about a few hundred innocent children being murdered? Their innocent blood is already feeding the flesh, not of the Israelites –for they have developed a thick and insensitive skin after 70 years of continuous murders– but of Bush, even Obama, of the leaders of Europe and of some local supporters of theirs.
UNFORTUNATELY it has become WIDELY known to the whole world that the JEW smells of BLOOD. And it seems that, owing to the tolerance of some, he will continue to smell of blood for many years to come.
Children of Palestine, we apologise.
G. KARATZAFERIS
ANNEX 3 – Letter to the President of the Greek Parliament
To the President of the Greek Parliament
Mr. Dimitris Sioufas
Athens
January 12, 2009
Dear Mr. President of the Greek Parliament:
The head of LA.O.S. Party, Mr. G. Karatzaferis undersigns the following phrases titled “It is widely
Translator’s note: The words “widely” and “Jewishly” have a similar sound in Greek, although a different spelling. Therefore, one may play on these words. In this particular text, “widely” has an anti-Semitic connotation. known…” in the newspaper ALPHA ENA (issue 3-4 January 09), attached.
We quote parts of these publications:
“UNFORTUNATELY it is now WIDELY known throughout the world that the JEW stinks BLOOD”.
“In less than 70 years the first victims of the Nazi atrocities, the JEWS, turn into equally atrocious murderers as their own persecutors.”
“With a little effort we could annihilate them (the Jews) in a Society of Justice, solidarity and concord. This is somehow difficult with a race which CRUCIFIED G-d, the one and unique time He came down to Earth.”
We turn to you, the President of the highest institution of our Democracy, because this is an unacceptable, unique in the Greek records as well as an open expression of anti-Semitism, coming from a member of the Greek Parliament and even leader of a political party.
Dear Mr. President, we, Greek Jews, express our abhorrence and our serious concern; we consider that this wrongdoing of a member of the Greek Parliament, could, under circumstances of extreme racism, be a herald of similar and even violent actions against Greek citizens. Such violent actions have caused affliction to Jews in the past.
At the same time, the abuse coming from the head of LA.O.S. offends the Greek Constitution itself, and exposes our country to the international community.
Dear Mr. President, we feel it is our obligation to inform you that we, Greek Jews, have complete faith in you personally as well as to the high institution of Democracy of which you are a leader. We believe that you will take the necessary initiatives and having the sense of responsibility due to your rank and your personality, you will take actions so that those grounds which could create a spirit of persecution of law abiding citizens are alienated by the Greek Society and condemned outright in the conscience of our Greek fellow citizens.
Yours Sincerely,
Moses Constandinis Abraham Reitan
President General Secretary

POPULAR ORTHODOX RALLY
Athens, 22/01/2009
To Mr. Dimitris Papayiannis
Special Secretary of the Parliament
Mr. Papayiannis:
The letter you delivered to me from the Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece, signed by Mr. Moses Constantinis and Mr. Abraham Reitan is extremely interesting.
They are certainly right. It is not the JEWS but the ISRAELITES who are reeking with blood. They are the ones who claim that among all nations on Earth they are the Chosen People of the Lord whose son they crucified and carried out the bloodiest invasion in the most recent years in the Gaza Strip.
We didn’t simply find out about the atrocity of their actions. Unfortunately for them and their supporters we experienced the horror they caused. Ascertainment and truth are not an insult, but a Democratic obligation dictated by the necessity to serve Human Rights.
Naturally, no one ever thought of blaming Greek Jews for anything that Israelites do. The reference to the Jews is due to the identification of the State of Israel to the Jewish religion.
Besides, I am absolutely convinced, like, I believe all Greeks, especially the ones who live abroad and have a close relationship with the Jews of the Diaspora, that anytime and under any circumstances a crisis between Greece and Israel occur (something which we all hope won’t be the case), the Greek Jews will be on the side of Greece.
On this occasion, I would like to express the wish that, since we have Muslim Greeks who are members of the Parliament, we shall welcome Jewish ones. In the past we had Jews who were converted to Christianity and held high posts. So, why not have Jews who still keep their faith?
Sincerely,
G. Karatzaferis
President of LA.O.S

The comment of “Alpha Ena”
The above letter was published in the weekly newspaper “Alpha Ena” (Saturday 24 – Sunday 25 January 2009), under the following comment :
UNLIMITED IMPUDENCE
The Central Jewish Board of Greece demands that the President of the Parliament controls and alienates G. Karatzaferis!
The President of LA.O.S. did nothing more and nothing less than express the anger and disapproval expressed throughout the world for the atrocities still going on in the Strip of Gaza. The former victims of the Holocaust are now the aggressors and aspire to become even more brutal than the Nazis.
However, the unlimited impudence of the native expressers of Zionism as a method of control and constraint, even appearing under the title “Hellenic Republic” reached the point to demand that the President of the Parliament controls and alienates a MP and head of a political party. Of course, the reply, including all the main points was sent back the same way.
A word to the wise is enough!
