She has previously defended Hamas, stating that it is a legally elected political party and not a militant organisation. <\/p>\n<p>A few days ago, she came to Greece to speak at a Leftist rally at the Panteion University. Previously he met with almost the entire left: from <b>Giorgos Papandreou<\/b> and <b>Charis Doukas<\/b> to <b>Socrates Famellos<\/b>, <b>Gavriel Sakellaridis<\/b> and <b>Yanis Varoufakis<\/b>. <\/p>\n<p>This is what the well-known professor <b>Aristides Hatzis<\/b> saw and wrote in a post that the entire Greek Left welcomed a genuine anti-Semite and one of the worst. He criticised the politicians who rushed to meet with her and the academics who organised a whole event in her honour at a Greek university. <\/p>\n<p>As he says, all this says a lot about the quality of the Greek Left and beyond. The professor&#8217;s opinion on the issue matters especially because he has occasionally criticized Israel and <b>Netanyahu<\/b> for many of their war operations, so he is not expressing unilateralism. <\/p>\n<h3> She expressed Turkey&#8217;s propaganda<\/h3>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p>However, the Italian jurist, invited by Leftist professors and politicians, did something worse: without any respect for her host country, she criticized Greece for its alliance with Israel and even used Turkey&#8217;s arguments. <\/p>\n<p>Now whether this is a coincidence when he has so many contacts with Islamic organizations, let everyone be free to judge. <\/p>\n<p>However, <b>Adonis Georgiadis<\/b> saw this and also commented that <b>Albanese<\/b>, which <b>Yanis Varoufakis<\/b> defended, used the Turkish narrative that Israel is exploiting Greece to establish its hegemony in the region. As the Health Minister wrote, &#8220;So that the masks fall off&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>However, here we see once again the love of the Greek Left for anything related to Islam that goes against the interests of Greece and the West.  <\/p>\n<p>However, the positions of <b>Varoufakis<\/b> or the <b>New Left<\/b> are well known. <\/p>\n<p>But it seems that much of <b>PASOK<\/b> has now entered into the logic of defending such narratives. <\/p>\n<p> <b>Following are related posts: <\/b> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"el\" dir=\"ltr\">The lady defended here by @varoufakis_gr and who accused @Israel @IsraelinGreece of genocide in Gaza, adopts all the Turkish arguments!
