Rivlin condemns Greek churches for failing to denounce anti-Semitic incidents
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePresident Reuven Rivlin calls on his Greek counterpart, Prokopis Pavlopoulos, to express strong criticism of Greek churches’ failure to condemn anti-Semitic vandalism.
Vandals on Friday smashed a campus monument that marks the site of a former Jewish cemetery, causing significant damage to the marble monument.
The centuries-old cemetery was razed during the German Nazi occupation, and the university was built on its site.
“The Greek church leaders’ silence is very concerning,” Rivlin tells Pavlopoulos. “Unfortunately, all the Christian religious institutions in Greece are remaining silent in the face of anti-Semitism, as we saw yesterday.”
Several Jewish monuments in Greece have been vandalized in recent years.
