Greek Press Hails Sympathy of Palestine Jews

The sympathy evinced for the Greek cause by the Jews of Palestine was hailed by the entire Greek press today. A typical statement was that made by the newspaper Acropolis, as follows:

“In Greece, the homeland of freedom and religious tolerance, anti-Semitism never aroused an echo in Greek hearts, consequently the felicitations from Jews in Palestine have been received joyously because we know that the felicitations are sincere.

“Greece is one of the few countries where the sorely-tried children of Israel always have found asylum, justice and civic equality. Today many Jews are fighting in Greece against Fascism and many Jews are among the heroic dead. The Greek struggle will contribute incidentally to the freedom of the Jews from persecution and the eradication of anti-Semitism.”
