This is huge. It's a guideline for all who stand against #genocide and #colonization.
"Israeli embassy staff in #Greece have been evacuated from their homes in Athens. The decision follows protests and rising anger over Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
A senior Israeli security official confirmed the evacuation to Israel Hayom. The official cited “the situation in Greece” as the reason.
Public outrage is growing. Greek citizens are calling for an end to Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people.
A major protest movement, March to #Gaza, declared August 10 a national day of action. Demonstrations will take place across Greek islands and tourist hotspots.
In a statement, March to Gaza said:
“The Greek people will not remain silent in the face of genocide committed by #Israel with the support of the West and the Greek government.”
The movement urged citizens to turn islands, beaches, mountain peaks, and shelters into spaces of #solidarity."

Ten years ago, Greece's Lesbos became the first stop for half of the million asylum-seekers headed for Europe. Today, the island shows how far government responses have hardened against people seeking refuge in Europe. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/01/world/greek-migrants-hardened-frontier/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #greece #europe #refugees #immigration #oceans

Great protest and great victory in #Syros#Greece. Locals protesting against the genocide in #Palestine in response to the arrival of Israeli - owned cruiseship Crown Iris to the island, forcing it to leave the island.
Israeli tourists onboard were provocative, chanting. Some disembarked and tried to aggressively face the protesters, but were pulled back by security forces.
We cannot carry on with business as usual with the genocide ongoing.

After my Greek dinner party yesterday I now only have one ambition in life. That is to join my fellow yiayia's in Greece and make spanakopita, dolmades, and portakalopita for my village family. 🇬🇷🩵 #Greece
All jokes aside, I think #Greece might be the place I want to move to. Because why learn a new language when you can learn a whole new alphabet 😅

Listen to how European leaders humiliated an entire people in the #EU.
It was a week that brought the future of #Greece and the #Eurozone to the brink. Ten years ago, on 6 July the Greek people voted against the terms of a financial bailout which included raising taxes and slashing welfare spending.
Greece owed €323bn to various countries and banks within #Europe. Its banks were closed. A quarter of the population and half of Greece’s young people were unemployed.
The morning after the vote, Euclid Tsakalotos was brought in to replace Yanis Varoufakis as finance minister. His predecessor had accused European leaders of “terrorism” in their handling of the crisis. Parachuted in to last-ditch talks with angry European leaders, Euclid Tsakalotos describes to Josephine McDermott the make-or-break 17-hour summit in Brussels.
He reveals that when Angela Merkel, the leader of Greece’s biggest lender #Germany, said she was leaving the room because she could not accept what was on the table, Donald #Tusk, president of the European Council, actually locked the door to stop her leaving and force an agreement to be reached.

As the cost of spraying crops with pesticides becomes increasingly expensive, farmers in Greece have turned to a cheaper alternative: liquids in unlabeled bottles that contain products banned in the European Union. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/07/15/sustainability/europe-pesticide-farmers-costs/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #sustainability #pesticides #agriculture #greece #europe #eu
