The foundations of European civilization are Acropolis, Capitol Hill in Rome and Golgotha in Jerusalem.<\/p>\n
Greek philosophical thought, Roman law and Christian ethics make up the European DNA<\/b>. It is in these hills that Athenian democracy meets the basis of law and the Judeo-Christian tradition from which Christian morality springs.<\/p>\n
For these reasons, we Greek Europeans, today that the state of Israel is celebrating 78 years since its foundation, we ought to honour our roots.<\/b><\/p>\n
Because Israel is an integral part of European civilisation, and at the same time a characteristic element of European identity that anti-Semitism attempts to distort and ultimately erase from historical memory. <\/p>\n
And this is happening while Europe<\/b> is at a critical crossroads: on the one hand, preserving its historical roots and, on the other, managing a new, multicultural reality that often challenges its traditional values.<\/p>\n
When one considers that in Europe before the Second World War the number of synagogues exceeded 17,000 and today it is only 3,318 – while the number of mosques is approaching 10,000 – something is wrong!<\/b>And this is mainly due to the policy of equal distances that ends up to the detriment of Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
