Jewish Groups Deplore Greek Demand to Remove Star of David From Holocaust Memorial
The Algermeiner ^ | May 15, 2015

Posted on 05/17/2015 1:26:18 AM PDT by Slings and Arrows

Jewish groups expressed “shock” on Friday over news that the unveiling of a Holocaust monument in Kavala, Greece was delayed because locals reportedly sought the removal of a Jewish star.

The monument in question memorializes the 1,484 Jews of Kavala who were exterminated during the Nazi occupation of Greece in World War II.

The monument was set to be unveiled when, just two days before, the mayor and a majority at the city council insisted on the removal of the image of a Star of David from the memorial.

Meanwhile, Greek Secretary General of the Ministry of Culture, Education, and Religious Affairs, Giorgos Kalantzis, said “‘As an Orthodox Christian, I feel deeply insulted by this issue, because it would be as if someone asked us to erase or modify for ‘aesthetic reasons’ the symbol of the cross on the tombs of our grandfathers executed by the Germans,” according to a statement released by the AJC.

The AJC called on Kavala’s city officials to “reconsider and reverse their appalling decision.”

Way too many people no longer play with a full deck, and common sense and decency have taken a leave of absence what is getting to be a worldwide phenomena.

This is what the European Union is about too. Not all due to the Muslims there.

Judgment is about to fall on Greece. This just underscores how much they deserve it.

It’s like every Greek person with half a brain has already left that country and come to America.

I said to hubby a while ago that maybe we should consider a forced repatriation of Greeks, because the old country needs them to straighten out their stuff.

But then there'd be no-one to run all the diners! ;^)

Round here it appears that most of the 'Mediterranean' restaurants are run by Muzzis. The other restaurants seem to either be Mexican, Vietnamese, or Indian.

Because the star of David is a powerful symbol that makes it clear that the Holocaust really occurred and the leftists van’t gave that. I bet that a lttle digging that would detemine that many members of that “Jewish” group are devout Muslims...

In Greater Chicagoland “Greek diner” is almost a redundancy. Varies from place to place, of course.

That may not be the case - there is a strong neofascist movement in Greece. Google “Golden Dawn.”

Dont be too eager. God’s justice on this country is probably going to be so horrible that we won’t be able to be smug about anybody else.

Not the same movement founded by Aleister Crowley, heroin addict and author of the Satanic bible is it?

We are seeing the last days propehcies of the Lord God of Israel coming into play as He sets the stage to bring in the millenial rule of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, on the earth for a thousand years. The Father is preparing the earth for His wrath and indignation against all who say their is no God and work iniquities against their fellow man as a result of their hatred and defiance. After the rapture, their will be the anti christ rule for some 7 years on those who say they will not have Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. This wrath will result in all flesh on the earth suffering for their sin against God, even the God of Israel who has deemed to use the little nation of Israel to clense the world of all those who refuse His right ways and just judgement against the workers of inquity. Read the scriptures. Save yourselves from this evil and untoward generation.
