I’ve heard all the arguments before. Believe me I understand there are extremists among Palestinians but this does not negate the same is true among a segment of Jews too. No group of people are all good or all bad. Taking a blind eye to guys like Ben Gvir and the inability to compromise among a segment of Jews isn’t going to make the national extremism issue go away. Nor is treating all Palestinians as bad people.
I know what it feels like to picked on. There has been a lot of antigreek rhetoric too these last few years. Our debt mess (our own fault), the bizarre recognition of our Slavic neighbors as “Macedonians” (the fault of foreign nationalists who to this day unethically downplay their switch of identity into antihellenic founders of the Hellenistic period), and mass illegal migration (supported by foreign leftists manipulatively framing their politics as “human rights”) makes many Greeks feel like others are trying to delete our very identity.
Due to the antihellenism, we have seen a rise of our own brand of undemocratic racist clowns called Golden Dawn. We put their leaders in jail and are still playing wack-a-mole because their followers keep trying to rebrand themselves as “moderates” under new party designations. Despite our problems it would be disastrous for Greece to support such national extremists. Likewise Israel harms is own interests have fanatics like Ben Gvir as ministers in their government. A swing to the far right in any country is bad news for that country.
Hamas is not a synonym for Palestinian nor is Likud is not a synonym for Jewish. Greeks and Turks are known to kill each other from time to time but even we managed a deal. It’s never too late to make a deal. If Likud uses this a a pretext to try to force all Arabs out of the region and religious theocracy (what guys like Gvir really want) it will turn Israel into a pariah state. Even the US will stop supporting you.
