The mayor of Athens lashed out at Israel’s ambassador to Greece following the envoy’s condemnation of antisemitic graffiti in the city, declaring, “we do not take lessons from those who kill civilians,” and accusing Jerusalem of carrying out “an unprecedented genocide” in Gaza.
The war of words comes amid a series of antisemitic incidents targeting Israelis in Greece since the onset of the nearly two-year conflict with Hamas in Gaza.
Israeli Ambassador to Greece Noam Katz told the Kathimerini daily that Israeli tourists have felt “uncomfortable” in Athens, citing the mayor’s failure to act against “organized minorities” responsible for antisemitic graffiti.
In response, Doukas fired back on X, stating, “We have proved our strong opposition to violence and racism, and we do not take lessons in democracy from those who kill civilians.”
“Israeli tourists have felt “uncomfortable” in Athens”
Thats the mindset of conquerors, not tourists.
Greece, and especially Athens, is the melting pot from civilizations across 3 continents, if you feel uneasy, then maybe you shouldn’t come here at the first place.
If Athens had a “strong opposition to violence and racism” and racism then we wouldn’t be seeing that kind of bigoted graffiti. We’d also see more concern shown towards bigotry in the city Athens’ mayor is responsible for.
A Syrian screamed [‘F*ck Israel, I’m Hamas’](https://www.timesofisrael.com/israeli-says-man-screamed-fck-israel-im-hamas-bit-part-of-his-ear-off-in-greece/) and bit off an ear of an Israeli in Athens because he heard him talk Hebrew. [Kosher Jewish restaurants get vandalized](https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-860884). There are Jew[ hunter groups walking](https://www.europeaninterest.eu/athens-is-not-safe-for-jews-antisemite-assault-battalions-patrol-tourist-areas-of-the-greek-capital/) around Athens looking to beat up Jews.
Yeah, Athens has an antisemtisim problem and seeing how the mayor fails to address the violent sentiment and doubles down I can absolutely see why.
“those who kill civilians”
if that’s how he refers to Israelis in general (or Jews), yes, he would actually benefit from lessons on what racism is
To put it more simply, the mayor is saying that he has no intention of defending fascists, so if you don’t like it, you don’t have to come.
The latest trend in “progressiveness” is witch-hunting
Don’t have to take their lessons but still can do something about antisemitism, it’s not that difficult to do the right thing. unless of course you’re an antisemite and antisemitism is your schtick…

How about the ambassador talk to Israeli goverment about how violence and attacks on christians in Israel (spitting,destruction of church property,violent attacks,harrasment….people can easily google) has increased tenfold in recent years. Wonder do those people feel comfortable with that?
But i am sure graffiti makes some tourists uncomfortable here after all imagine your goverment effectively destroying a city,killing thousands of innocent people,starting multiple fronts…..but you go ahead and go on a cruise to the mediteranean.
The ammount of delusion is crazy.
That’s a bs response! He can say that, and it would be valid if he acknowledged the racist attacks that happened in Greece!
Well said.
I am sure all the people that voted Golden Dawn 3rd biggest party in 2015 just up and vanished ofc.
Israel as it is, is not a specific race. It is a colony/nation. Sadly, the acts that it is engaging in will bounce back on people of Jewish faith. Just like many Americans may suffer someday for the US actions around the world.
>*Athens mayor: ‘We do not take lessons from those who kill civilians’*
Proceed to increase the number of russian tourists instead.
Apparently some civilians count less then others.
The amount of astroturfing that goes on to try and make the horrific actions of Israel is stomach turning.
I didn’t realize Greece was such a trashy, hateful country until recently.
Nice that this comes from Greece who sends almost no help to Ukraine (compared to other countries, Greek help and team effort is non-existent) and whose shipping companies continue transporting Russian oil even after EU agreed to make a move against the shadow fleet. I guess they’re fine with Russia killing Ukrainian civilians.
How low Greece, the birthplace of democracy has fallen. They are now culturally weaker than Turkey. The only thing Greece is famous now for conning tourists and corruption.
