and the "religious clerics" that teach them.
Hezbollah is hitting Israel with a missile a minute according to one report. At exactly what level of bombardment would it take to get the Greeks to defend themselves? One? Two?
Well, I think Israel probably did the right thing in removing their people from Gaza. Now they can roll through there - with excessive force - without having to worry about any of their citizens getting caught in the cross fire.
The stupid Palais should have been afraid, very afraid, when Israel did that, but they're just too damn stoopid.
They are not saying anything that any of the other Countries are not saying. So lets see, what do some have their panties caught in a knot over and I'm just using the direct quotes from the government speaker, and not what the reporter is writing since we have seen how newsreporters can twist things around in their articles to fit their views. So lets see:
"Greece expresses its serious concern and is intensely troubled," Antonaros said.
Hmmm, do any of you guys see the words: over Israeli attacks in Lebanon in that quote? I sure as hell don't. Infact its not even part of the quote but added later by the reporter, which can alter the meaning of the report, a method which we know newsreporters use.
"It is vital, to stop the (situation) worsening, Hizbullah must immediately release the soldiers taken hostage," he said.
Ok, so here he is agreeing with the release of the soliders.
"At the same time, Greece calls on the government of Israel to avoid the use of excessive and pointless force which cannot provide a solution to the problem."
He doesn't tell Israel to stop bombing Hizbullah ALL TOGETHER but to "avoid the use of excessive and pointless force", a sentiment echoed all over the world including the United States. Don't forget half of the Lebanese populations are Christians. None wants to see this get out of hand, especially the countries closest to the conflict and out of all the European countries Greece, is the most concerned since it lays closest to the region of conflict, aside from Cyprus that is, which is another concern for Greece if the fighting does spread. So maybe none of you give a flying-f what Greece thinks but it and many other countries have a more legitimate reason to be concerned in not having this spread any further then it has to. Plus don't forget those civilian cruise ships that France, the USA ect ect are using to ferrie their people from Lebanon, all come from Greece since its the closest European country with the resources to ferry them out.
You have your history mixed up again I see.Oh, boo-hoo. The Greeks of Alexandria massacred the Jews of Alexandria, and there isn't any question about it. Oh, no, it took place under Roman rule, but it wasn't was Rome's fault. Nice try.
Boo-hoo back to you, I didn't have to try very hard to show your ignorance on the subject and since again you show your ignorance, yes it was the Romans fault and I suggest to you in reading the Jewish Historical accounts on this event since you don't seem to know much about them.
Greece is upset at the Israelis because they are good allies with Turkey.
