The US Ambassador criticized the comments made by that Greek composer that Jews were the "root of all evil." It seems the Greek goverment didn't like what the US Ambassador did.

It's good to see the Greek government defending it's citizens and their anti-Semitic diatribes. I hope the ambassador will also point out the strong pro-Arab, anti-Israel, and anti-American positions staked out by his government.
I've been to Greece several times. Many of the people are wonderful. The left is very strong and is strongly anti-Semitic there and it is very worrisome.

For the past fifty years, coming out with an antisemitic remark has been enough to make anybody persona non grata. Now it seems that the rules are changing, in American academia, and seemingly all over the place in Europe.
Now you are only accused of antisemitism if you can be identified as a conservative. Leftists get a free pass to be as antisemitic as they want, as long as they do it in the name of postcolonialism.
It's a very dangerous situation.
