On his return from a recent two-day trip to Israel -- where he met with high-level officials -- Adonis Georgiadis, the vice president of Greece's opposition party, New Democracy, declared his support for recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
In an interview with Skai Radio on March 7, Georgiadis called it "almost funny to discuss whether Jerusalem is a Jewish city or not."
"[It] was founded by the Jews... in ancient times. You can read Flavius Josephus or read Diodoros Siceliotis and see the references to the city of Jerusalem, where there was the High Priest of Solomon's Temple and that it was the city of the Jews. This is the reality."
When challenged by the interviewer, who said, "But as time went by, many things happened in the city's history," Georgiadis, a historian, replied:
"I don't disagree, but this city is from the beginning a Jewish city. They [Jews] made it; they founded it; it's theirs... Now, President Trump's decision to transfer the US Embassy to Jerusalem is a little bit provocative... But I have to say... that I am in favor of this decision rather than against it."
Two days earlier, on March 5, MP Makis Voridis, a former minister from the New Democracy party, expressed a similar position in an op-ed in the Greek daily Kathimerini:

Maybe Greece is trying to get into God’s good graces - whatever it takes to get out of their withering economy.
Thanks for posting Jalisco555!
Pinging EndTimes list. Recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s Eternal Capital is all of a sudden popular now.
The Jewish festival of Hanukkah celebrates the re-dedication of the Temple following Judah Maccabee’s victory over the Seleucids. The Seleucids were Hellenistic Greeks who controlled remnants of Alexander the Great’s empire, including Judea.
The Greeks know that Jerusalem is a Jewish city. Always has been.
Missilonghi is still a bitter occasion to many Greeks.
This will be a welcome improvement for Greece... and so much of the world has gone along with the Falestinian lie for so many years, just flushing that garbage down the toilet of history is actually a big deal now.
Greeks and Persians have never been real friendly...............
Score one for the Greeks.
They are still pissed over the Persians burning Athens thingy...............
Jerusalem is going to be the Burdensome Stone.
I believe God placed President Trump in office so that His Word shall be fulfilled.
Gonna be a lot of sharp opinions coming out of countries regarding Jerusalem.
I expect a pretty polarized divide. Which is basically a Captain Obvious. I expect more to come especially if May 14 really is a target date for the new U.S. embassy in Jerusalem.
Will get “interesting”.
Cool, if it happens.
AND the Cup of Trembling.
“I don’t disagree, but this city is from the beginning a Jewish city. They [Jews] made it; they founded it; it’s theirs...”
Well, technically the Jebusites made it, but I don’t think any of them will be raising objections.
[the Jebusites ]
Yep, they lost it about 1004 B.C.
The Jebusites. Are they the supporters of JEB!
LOL

On Monday, US President George Bush announced his intention to convene an international conference for “the establishment of a Palestinian state.”
As part of his Middle East foreign policy strategy, President Bush called upon Israel to make several immediate concessions to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen). “Israel has a clear path,” he said, explaining that this included releasing frozen tax revenues Israel collected on behalf of the PA, ceasing what he called the “continuing occupation of the West Bank,”

They won’t be objecting, since they were low-energy Jebusites.

Trump meeting and defeating Kim’s nuclear ambition without war
is absurd of itself. Therefore I believe it is possible
