nazi writer Plevris must be condemned
18 ago 2007
Dear Friends,

The nazi Kostas Plevris has been prosecuted according to the Greek anti-discrimination law, and will be on trial on September 5, 2007, before the penal court of Athens, for publishing a book entitled “Jews, the whole truth�. Along with him, the editor and two columnists of the fascist newspaper “Eleftheros Kosmos� (Free World) also go on trial.
The nazi writer propagates genocidal hatred for the Jews, glorifies Hitler, the “Aryan race�, and the “Third Reich� in this book, which has already sold thousands of copies. Hitler is only criticized for the mere reason of not clearing Europe of the Jews. As one can read in Pg. 852: “afterwards, history of humankind will accuse him (Hitler) of having done nothing to rid Europe of the Jews, though he could…�

This prosecution is of great importance because the pro-Hitler and anti-Semitic literature thrives in Greece. It’s only in Greece, among all other European countries, that dozens of pro-Hitler magazines and books pro-Hitler or specifically anti-Semitic – like the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion� that has been a best seller – are being sold in nearly every kiosk and in bookstores even big ones. However, the state and judicial authorities do nothing to deal with this oversupply of hate and nazi propaganda, though the law obliges them to. This prosecution against the most overt nazi was the result of a charge brought by the Greek Jews (Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece), and of a supporting memorandum submitted by the Antinazi Initiative.

The peculiarity of Greece in comparison with the other European countries – with the exception of the more and more anti-Semitic Russia – is that anti-Semitism here is not a marginal ideology of a minority, but a mainstream ideological current. Dominant political forces within the Greek parties have been hiding their anti-Semitism before the EU, but they have been cultivating it at the base of society for many years now, by using the cliché: the Jews and their illegal fascist state, Israel, dominate the US foreign policy and through that policy they attempt to subjugate the nations.

Quite characteristic of that attitude is the fact that all parliamentary parties in Greece are in favour of the legal status of the overtly nazi party “Golden Dawn� (“Chrysi Avgi�). In fact the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Press invite “Golden Dawn� at the inter-party meetings held at pre-election periods to allocate TV time for the parties participating to the elections! Also, no-one should forget that Greece is the only country of the EU that wholeheartedly stood by the Serbian fascists during the war in Bosnia, and shielded the Greek nazis that took part in the genocidal massacre of Srebrenica leaving them unpunished for their crimes.

This explains Plevris’ impudence to bring a charge against his accusers claiming that they slander him!

The Antinazi Initiative calls upon all European democrats:
-To demand that the nazi K. Plevris, as well as his collaborators, be condemned by the court on 5 September 2007.
-To make this case against K. Plevris widely known in their countries, and to denounce the anti-Semitic phenomenon in Greece.
