Greece has recalled its ambassador from Israel.

I didn't know they had an ambassador to Israel. I thought they were still ticked off about that Chanukkah thing.

Sorry, you might be right, actually Greece summoned the Israeli ambassador to demand an explanation!

Israeli raid on aid ships rocks Greek relations - June 1, 2010 - The raids on the ships were condemned by all the Greek parties. New Democracy called it “an unprovoked attack” that contravened international law. The Communist Party said that the incident was evidence of “the heightened imperialist aggressiveness, not only against the Palestinian people but all the peoples in the area.” The Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA) labeled Israel’s actions “piracy” and “an international crime.” The Popular Orthodox Rally (LAOS) accused Israel of “becoming increasingly violent” and undermining its own cause. The government withdrew from a joint air force exercise with Israel, code-named Minoas 2010, which started in Crete last Tuesday and was due to end this Thursday. It also canceled a visit due to take place today by the Israeli air force chief. Israel’s ambassador in Athens, Ali Yahya, was summoned by Alternate Foreign Minister Dimitris Droutsas to give explanations about the incident. “We cannot justify the use of violence of such force; we condemn it,” said Droutsas.
