Love this quote "We don’t take democracy lessons from those who kill civilians and children in food aid queues, from those who drive dozens of people to death every day in Gaza, with bombs, famine and thirst."

The mayor of Athens supports tourism & gentrification in the city they govern, including by israelis. Their opposition is fake.

Condemn these tourists wherever you find them. No holidays for baby killers.

My faith in the Greeks renewed.

How much longer can the highest ranking political leaders all accross the E.U., U.K., U.S.A. resist a tidal wave of disgust among their populations. Why have they held so tightly to this position two years into Genocide?

We should make Israelis' lives as miserable as possible, and this is an excellent way to do it. They should be aware of the pariahs they have become.

Agree. But shouldn’t the same be done to Americans too? Israel is a client state of the USA, and therefore the US is responsible, especially since they’re the ones enabling this. So, shouldn’t we boycott and protest against every American so they feel like the pariahs they’ve become?

Just food for thought.

Yes, I agree with you. And I am from the US. US citizens visiting in Greece could wear great Palestine tee shirts to let people know they are against what their government is doing.

Do you really need everyone to be politically aligned? Most people simply don’t have the capacity to care — they’ve got their own shit to deal with. And yet you’re willing to force them into a stance where they wouldn’t even be able to do anything about it.

From Maria in Syros, about a tourist couple, “They walked past the protesters and entered the town; they didn’t provoke, so nobody bothered them.” But plenty of the Israelis were provacative. So ask people to repudiate the actions of their genocidal governments, and if they won't, make them unwelcome.

I wouldn't want to be expected to wear pro Palestine clothes though - I'd be afraid of bringing it through customs back home!

The IDF is a bunch of murdering inhuman animals. I hope the Greek peoples protests spreads to other countries.

How much more can civilized people take? The photos, the stories of children being blown apart and starved with my tax money is beyond painful. I think every country that has Israeli tourists needs to make them feel increasingly isolated. The world's scorn should follow them wherever they are "vacationing."

Bravo!, and Brava!, citizens of Greece! Thank you.

Dear Zionists of Israel. Stay home, in your little fascist, Nazi bubble. You're not welcome in the World.

Why no arrests for IDF? Sounds like Greece needs a change of government too, like the US.

Well done Greece! This story makes me want to travel to Greece as both a tourist and anti-Zionist protester. A new tourism attraction wherever Israelis go..."Come to Greece on a moral holiday to join the resistance where Palestinians can't".

This is lovely. I'm heartened any time I see a group of human beings aggressively having a conscience. Solidarity with Greece, Solidarity with Palestine.
