Shocking Greek Newspaper Headline: Obama Victory Signals End of Jewish
Domination

The American Jewish Committee expressed anger at the front-page headline in
todays issue of Avriani, a mainstream daily newspaper in Greece.



The newspapers headline, in bold letters, read: "The anticipated victory of
Obama in the U.S. elections signals the end of Jewish domination. Everything
changes in the USA and we hope that it will be more democratic and humane.?



"This vile and scurrilous headline draws on classic anti-Semitic canards of
Jewish conspiracy and domination,? said AJC Executive Director David A.
Harris. "How could any responsible media outlet peddle such outright
nonsense??



Harris added: "Opinion polls consistently show that Senator Obama will
receive from two-thirds to three-fourths of the votes of American Jews.
Thus, according to the newspapers perverse logic, Jews are voting
overwhelmingly for ?the end of Jewish domination. In reality, Jews, like
other Americans, celebrate democracy, participate in the political system
across the spectrum, and engage in a wide range of civic activity. To
suggest something darker and more sinister is to distort reality beyond
recognition and fan the flames of religious and ethnic hatred.?



"We fully recognize that Greece, as a democracy, enjoys freedom of the
press,? Harris concluded, "and we also understand that the views of Avriani
which has a history of anti-Semitic agitation are its own, not the nations.
In that spirit, we hope to hear the voices of those in Greece who recognize
these views for what they are unabashed anti-Semitism.?



AJC and the Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece have been
longstanding partners. AJC has often visited Greece, met with its leaders,
and sought to build strong bonds of friendship, while also maintaining close
ties with the Greek Orthodox Church and the Greek-American community.
