I’m a Catholic and I find it astonishing that anyone who knows anything about Christianity would not realize that it was for their sins Christ died and pointing fingers at anybody except oneself is totally missing the point. “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone” - nobody dared then to cast a stone.  Jesus was a Jew, His Mother was a jewess, all His desciples were jewish.  I just don’t get it when I hear such a statement as Jews were Christ killers. Please accept my apologies on behalf of what I can only conclude is a total ignoramus.  Blessings - Rene

Rene, thank you very much for your response.  George Karatzaferis is obviously an ignorant, hate-filled man who doesn’t understand his own religion.  Unfortunately, all too many Christians share his feelings.  It is a blessing that you and people like you speak up when confronted by such ignorance.

The anti-semitic and anti-zionist feeling is not something particular to the right-wing in Greece. It is a general phenomenon in greek society, shared also by leftist newspapers (like the most-read one in the country, Eleftherotipia) that characterize the Israeli offensive in Gaza as a massacre, genocide, intended to deliberately kill women and children.
Those interested in this topic can look for the work of Moses Alsech, who has been studying the issue for many years.

Jews have been living in Greece long before 2 B.C. way before Christianity was ever heard of.

Try remembering some Greek history Mr. Karatzaferis, once your mind is able to clear from all that ouzo you consume on a daily basis for breakfast.  The Greeks actually took innocent Jewish children and Jewish adults and threw them into cauldrons full of burning hot oil and cooked them.  Another intentional lapse of memory of how quickly you forgot the Chanukah event that took place in Greece; huh?  Talk about being innocent and sinless. 

What ignorant Mr. Karatzaferis doesn’t even realize is that it was after a good many years, post the demise of the sad misdirected - wayward apostles that this idolatrous thing called Christianity developed.  Mary Magdalene was as pure as shoveled snow the same snow you have been writing.

I just love this ignoramuses’ quote, “but what do you expect from a race that crucified God (notice no capital letters) the only time he (who is he?) came to earth.” Do you actually believe that The Almighty can be crucified? Are you on some space delusional trip?  A G-D that can be crucified that is a new one for me.  G-D has been on Earth in existence way before He created His Earth and has remained here ever since. “The only time he came to earth?” how did this degenerate become the publisher of A1? How does one kill The Omnipresence considering He has never had a body?  He continues his worthless rhetoric by stating “Yet would God killers care about a few hundred innocent children?” The first part of this comment I am not insulted as Greeks’ are a G-Dless people so they wouldn’t know who He was even if he presented His ID card to them. This babling idiot continues with his lies that infere that the Jews rather than identifying them as Israeli’s as “killers of a few hundred innocent children.” This man was not there, nor were any of his reporters but he is taking the word of the Arab press which is filled with all lies.  He didn’t bother looking at the reports that were coming in of the people in Israel that were being killed and some maimed by these imaginery rockets.  See, the poor innocent Hamas group didn’t take out innocent people of Fatah - their Arab brothers - and shoot these same people in their legs as they thought they were traitors; right?  What Mr. Karatzaferis intentionaly forgot to mention is that his wonderful Arab friends used “these same innocent children” as human shields.

I just love how an Abbott from one of Mr. Karatzaferis’ Greek monasteries (how sad) was found in possession of pediophile material and also distributing it.  This shows the sickening low-level of Greece’s so-called religious standards of who they have leading the flock.  Greece is the empitome of high morals where their police murder innocent 15 y.o. bystanders. Greece continues along with its high standards by having a policeman shoot the Brinks guard outside of the US Ambassor to Greece’s house. 

The island of Lesvos (remember Sappho’s poems) ,is once again being reawakened to lesbianism (the town of Eresos),another star of morals for this dredge of a country whose PM & his cabinet members are all involved in scandelous matters.  These same idiots are now asking the EU for $50 billion dollars to float their decadent country.  Who stole all that money, Mr. Know It All -George Karatzaferis, knows exactly where all the money went.  Parties, new houses, new yachts, etc..  Who said we live in glass houses? 

“Unfortunately it is known all over the world that a Jew smells of blood.” Then the two of us should get along just fine, we smell like blood and you “the pedophile Greeks smell like garbage from miles away.”
