(Apart from Kissinger), Jews and Greeks have a mutual respect going back to biblical times. The Jews have a saying that the only ones who can outwit them are Greeks. Praise indeed.

I've never met an antisemitic Greek but the world is a little more wary now, not of ordinary Jews, but the ultra-rich bank-owning sector behind the current banking crisis.

Antisemitism really started with the medieval English.

Shakespeare created the idea of the mean moneylender Jews; Shylock who demanded his 'pound of flesh'.

Your racism is getting the better of you. The earlist known records of anti semtism with writings aimed against Jewish religion and lifestyle can be traced back Greeks in Alexandria in about 2nd century bc or so.

What racism is in my post, nutjob? The only racism so far is the anti-Greek nature of this whole thread.

As for your throwing a strop at a well known literary and historical fact (have you ever read Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, pleb?) that antisemitism was rife in medieval England, then sorry to burst your Imperialist bubble. [mirth]

And no, you are quite wrong, there was no anti-semitism in early Greek and Roman history as enemies were formed on ethnic grounds in fighting over territories. Anti-semitism is a little more subtle and Shakespeare defined it to a "t".

This junk thread should be closed just as every other shitty thread that mentions anathema words like... "Greek", "Greece", "Hellenic", "Hellene" ...and all other misleading contemporary words and/or phrases that do not accurately reflect the true Bulgaro-Albano-Ottoman nature of these disgusting people!

Well, I wonder if that respect still applies.

Nevertheless, the majority of Greeks are fine, however, there is a lot of antisemitism amongst Greeks as well. I have seen and witnessed it and it is obvious that on this forum for some reason there is an enormously disproportionate amount of antisemitism, which does the RoC no favours due to our now critical relationship with Israel as a result of recent Natural Resources finds within our EEZs which Turkey is trying to disrupt, spoil and steal from us.

just my two cents, (but) I have been led to understand that after Greece, came Rome; who were their bankers, the Greeks. and after Rome came Europe; who are their bankers, the Jews. what seems apparent in this line of thinking is the modern fear of the Chinese (amongst individuals who prefer to find security not in themselves, but in their identity as Persons)...

...if anything the racism against them is the same: they are not trustworthy, they have an evil obsession with money, and in the deep state against the rest of "us", they are there.

[Paphitis]

That is absolutely absurd RW! Really surprised that this came from you.

I must have an obsession with money. I have turned down jobs because they don't pay enough.

This racism towards the Jews does go back a long way, and perhaps Lana explained it best as to why. I have always wondered why. Actually feel sorry for them because they always seem to cop it. Always disappointing to here such absolute nonsense about Jews on this forum and from those that claim to be Cypriot whilst scampering to degrade Cyprus in their next breath as the Greeks they wannabe and are!

I have not met that many Jewish Bankers mind you either.

[repulsewarrior]

i don't have a reason why; it was a reason explained to me, i am repeating it, (and meant to amuse).

...in a way it is flattering to be revered for that kind of power and an equal, no, first, in qualifying the world's destiny. sooner or later we, the Human race will not find an "enemy" in each other, but given the competitive (adversarial) position we take in our lives, the "threat" we face will come from somewhere or something else.

Speaking more generally, prejudice is worldwide and I do not see it more prevelant here than in other countries; leaving aside Arab countries, Russia has lead the world in this respect over many centuries.

Why, does anti-semitism exist? Because Jews are 'different' in their looks, their dress, their culture, their religion.
Because they have avoided integration - but is this because of anti-semitism - cause and affect and cause.
Because they have worked hard and been successful in business - raising jealousy amongst others.

One thing that has always struck me; people say Jews are 'mean'; I think this is a misconception caused by how hard they bargain in business, nothing to do with meaness.

'Dirty Jews'? Orthadox Jews have a culture of hygene which has higher standards than most.

Once I've cooked you Chicken you will be history.

[yialousa1971]

Tell that to the historians ..........

What historians?

You never left any source and there is no recording of any such event except in your own head.

And Jews do not cover themselves with anyone's insides! This smacks of Borat from Kazakstan running of the Jew.

The Jews waged war against their Roman occupiers of Judea and so they should revolt against the Imperialist Roman Occupation Forces!

As I said before learn to read.

Dio Cassius

I only read reliable sources. Those sources are not reliable as they are biased and their accuracy is questioned by many.

Answer my question about the brutal siege of Jerusalem!

But the main question is why so much hate in 2013?

I mean it really is quite sick if you ask me, and I can't believe there are so many Greeks with these types of attitudes. It reminds me of the American bible belt. At least t hose Americans are really polite but they do have some strange ideas but certainly not as strange as you and Kurupetos.

You are a very young person from what I can gather, and iot is a real shame that you would entertain some of things you write on this forum. You need to get out more methinks.

Take it up with the historians fool.
