Yet in the end, he was pardoned because he had strong connections and affiliations with many Zionist accomplices within and outside of Greece. This Zionist political and\u00a0 economic influence\u00a0 within Greece was maintained under the Socialist government of Siriza and later on by the conservative New Democracy\u00a0 party under the leadership of\u00a0 Constantinos Mitsotakis, which\u00a0 presides over the present government of Greece.<\/p>\n<p>7 \u2013 I want to figure out at which point\u00a0 the Greek public would stop being so\u00a0 callous . I don\u2019t believe this will ever end.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t want to read books because you want to avoid thinking.\u00a0 Thinking about your dreary\u00a0 existential situation and of your own society.<\/p>\n<p>8 \u2013 Greek parents don\u2019t want to recognize that their children have gone astray because they themselves have gone astray.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>9- Isn\u2019t it pleasant to occupy our precious time with the \u2018\u2019sacred rites\u2019\u2019 of marriages\u00a0\u00a0 and baptisms so that we wouldn\u2019t have to bother ourselves with the everyday realities.<\/p>\n<p>10 &#8211; What\u00a0 I really want to emphasize\u00a0 is \u2018\u2019 Are we going\u00a0 to continue jerking off\u00a0 while humanity is o the brink of annihilation \u2018\u2019 ?<\/p>\n<p>11 \u2013 Most Greek men and Greek\u00a0 women\u00a0 do not want to be bothered with the\u00a0 genocide in Palestine, because what\u00a0\u00a0 matters\u00a0 to them is their own survival and their daily routines.<\/p>\n<p>12 &#8211; \u2018\u2019 if you really just\u00a0 believed in me, everything\u00a0 would have come to pass\u2019\u2019\u00a0 a verse from a poem by the Greek poet Nikos Gatsos.<\/p>\n<p>13 \u2013 What I wouldn\u2019t give for some spiritual tranquility and human warmth.<\/p>\n<p>14 \u2013 Now that the year\u00a0\u00a0 is\u00a0 ending , what\u00a0 are we going to celebrate exactly?

What a\u00a0\u00a0 disgrace for the Greek Welfare State!!!<\/p>\n<p>16-\u00a0\u00a0 To be neutral to genocide , whether in Palestine or the Sudan , makes us indirect\u00a0 accomplices.<\/p>\n<p>17-\u00a0\u00a0 I am\u00a0 proud of the Greek youth of today\u00a0 in its stance supporting the Palestinian peoples against the fascist regime\u00a0 of the state of Israel.
