Uproar Over Greek Priest's Jew-Hating Rant (Israel)

The European Jewish Congress (EJC) called Wednesday for the Greek Orthodox church to remove the Metropolite of Piraeus, Seraphim, after the high-ranking priest sounded an anti-Semitic rant on Greek TV.

Speaking on the morning show on Mega-TV, the largest television station in Greece, Seraphim blamed world Jewry for Greece's financial problems.

"Mixing Freemasons with Jewish bankers such as Baron Rothschild and world Zionism, the Metropolite said that there is a conspiracy to enslave Greece and Christian Orthodoxy," JTA reported. He also accused "international Zionism" of trying to destroy the family unit by promoting one-parent families and same-sex marriages.

Thirteen minutes into the program the host asked Seraphim, "Why do you disagree with Hitler's policies? If they are doing all this, wasn't he right in burning them?"

The Metropolite answered, "Adolf Hitler was an instrument of world Zionism and was financed from the renowned Rothschild family with the sole purpose of convincing the Jews to leave the shores of Europe and go to Israel to establish the new Empire."

I'm afraid you do not know what is going on...getting the story from the media is not getting the truth. Again I repeat the archbishop never said anything about all Jews—he singled out the Zionists who are creating Eurabia!

This is the Archbishop's clarification for those who care about the truth:

December 23, 2010
Romfea.gr

On the occasion of the concerns raised by the European Jewish Congress with regard to my interview with the MEGA television channel on the 20th of December, I have to say the following:

1. The things I said during my television appearance on the show “Society Hour Mega” are strictly my personal views and opinions of which I have repeatedly expressed my position verbally and in writing.

2. I respect, revere and love the Jewish people like any other people of our world according to the teaching of the incarnated Son of God and the true Messiah the Lord Jesus Christ the Savior and Redeemer, who was heralded by all the Prophets and was incarnated through the Jewish nation.

3. My public vehement opposition against International Zionism refers to the organ that is the successor of the “Sanhedrin” which altered the faith of the Patriarchs, the Prophets and the Righteous of the Jewish nation through the Talmud, the Rabbinical writings and the Kabbalah into Satanism, and always strives vigorously towards an economic empire set up throughout the world with headquarters in the great land beyond the Atlantic for the prevalence of world government and pan-religion.

4. I consider like any sane person on the planet the Nazi regime and the paranoid dictator Adolf Hitler as horrible criminals against humanity and take a stand with all honor and respect against the Jewish Holocaust and any other heinous genocide such as that of the Pontic Greek and Armenian people. Besides, the Greek nation mourns thousands of martyrs from the criminal Nazi atrocities.

he singled out the Zionists who are creating Eurabia!
IE, he is delusional. Eurabia was a plot by anti-ISrael Europeans.

In so far as all Jews other than the few thousand Karaites are Rabbinic, ie those who respect the authority of the Talmud, Metropolitan Seraphim is attacking most Jews on religious grounds. Pan-religion and world government are an anathema to Zionism.

Metropolitan Seraphim doesn't understand Judaism and feels a need to attack us. It is pathetic.

You are being very disingenous when you say that Zionists are not involved in the creation of Eurabia. And you also know that generations of liberal Jewish activists and “civil liberties” organizations have tirelessly worked to strip America of its foundational Christian values.

You cannot have it both ways: Conservative Christian principles and secular “humanist” Zionist principles. They are as much like water and oil as Islam and Christianity are-—

You assume that these Jews are Zionists, instead of universal antinationalists. And even if they make an unprincipled exception for Israel, their goal is not to support Israel here. And you are ignoring the simple fact that De Gualle started the Mediteranian Alliance with the Arabs after he shafted Israel. Eurabia from day one was predicated on screwing Israel and America.

You cannot have it both ways: Conservative Christian principles and secular “humanist” Zionist principles. They are as much like water and oil as Islam and Christianity are-—
What the hell are secular humans Zionist principles? Secular humanists hate Israel.
You are blaming Israel and Zionism for leftism. Argument FAIL.

I wish you the Lord’s blessings on this holy night!

And remember this is what the Archbishop of Piraeus has said which has not been reported my the media:

[rmlew]

I'm well aware that the Mossad like every intelligence agency has done bad things. However, Ostrovsky's career is to attack Israel and he has been caught lying in the past. And WMREA is paid for by the UAE. And when I say, lie I mean transparent stupid lies like his claim that the motto of the Mossad is "By Way of Deception, thou shalt do War" instead the actual "Where no counsel is, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety." (Proverbs XI:14)

But what does any of this have to do with the claims of the Metropolitan?

I’m a Zionist. Want to talk to me?

[eleni121]

Sure — you can start by exploring your roots.

[nolongerademocrat]

Already done. My DNA tracks to the Exilarchs of Babylon. You?

[eleni121]

Trust me - mine go back farther. That is not the point. You need to decide whether Herzl is your idol or not.

[nolongerademocrat]

Why don’t you tell me why you dislike Zionists so much and we’ll start from there.

[Eleutheria5]

I’m cool with it. If the Greek Orthodox Church wants this guy for one of their representatives, they’re welcome to him. Hitler in the pay of international Zionism? Wow. That’s a new one.

[MarMema]

I'm well aware that the Mossad like every intelligence agency has done bad things.

Yes of course. But their deeds seem to have been done in the name of Zionism.

[eleni121]

It’s not a new one because there is truth to it.

Don’t be snookered. Enlighten yourself by doing some reading - start here:

The Zohar says that there is no lie that doesn’t have some basis in truth. It’s still a lie, though. Go talk to someone more open-minded. ‘bye.

[eleni121]

I see. Truth that does not fit your insidious world view cannot be truth.

This thread is so funny I could cry.
