I thought the Greeks were all busy working to pay off their loans. Looks like I was wrong.

Decisions, decisions, what’s a Greek to do? Protest that they can’t retire at age 35 or so or against them nasty JOOZ...?

This whole thing (Greek protests, Gaza flotilla) is being organized by Leftist forces on the planet. Why would the Greeks worry about the Gaza situation when they have much much bigger problems at home?
