I imagine Zisis looks like a Greek Al Sharpton.

Lol! I can't help picturing some Col. Klink looking guy screaming, “You VILL accept zez loans and you VILL find the terms quite reeeesonable!”

The two issues are not even close to being related.

The Germans should give reparations if they were directed to by the courts.

They should also kick the Greeks out of the EU.

One has nothing to do with the others.

Loukas Zisis, the deputy mayor of Distomo, a village nestled in the hills about a two hour drive from Athens, says he thinks about the Germans every day. On June 10, 1944, the Germans massacred 218 people in Distomo, including dozens of children. Zisis, who is just 48 years old, wasn't yet born at the time of the attack.

That is not healthy.

You don't let things go for the other guy, you learn to let things go for your own sake. Stewing and brooding over past wrongs with leave you twisted and bitter.

As for the rest... more Greeks were killed in the Greek civil war that followed then were killed by the Nazis. I don't recall many, if any, war crimes tribunals for those people.

I believe that one gripe the Greeks May be making is that after ww ii the German debt was forgiven under the Marshall plan while the Greeks did not receive equivalent treatment. So from this perspective it may be analogous to running a race in which some runners receive a head start while other runners started and remain hobbled.
